Web design, where do I start?

Your website should reflect your business and your visions

Many web design companies can build a website that meets your specific image, but not many will also make sure your website is optimized for search engines and is appropriately functional.

The correct balance of keywords, data, content, graphics and images, remain consistent from one page to the next, (Thematic). This is very important not only attracting visitors but keeping their attention.

We focus on each of these areas by planning your website's structure, page linking methods, and by using search engine friendly HTML coding and applying content and image processes that enhance, not detract from the web impression you are tying to establish.

Use our Simple Questionnaire which will enable us to provide an estimate for your project or feel free to use our Instant Website Estimator to get a good idea of costs involved in owning, revising and or maintaining a website.

Whether a project succeeds or fails, or even launches, can typically be traced to good or poor planning. If the overall concept involves 10 phases and the business owner and developer only focus on one, then the total project will be built as a Phase One. Clearly, that creates a finished product that looks more like a work in progress.

Designing your site

Design is the next priority, where the developer deals with branding issues, interface issues, colors, layout, anything of a graphic nature. In this major phase, all elements are put in story board format to show how the site will look like a custom web site design.

Programming Time

Since programming is the most expensive part of Web development, the objective should be minimizing time spent on this phase. It's important to know up front exactly what needs to be accomplished.

Up on the Server

Deployment deals with issues such as testing, especially for complex applications, and ultimately results in hosting of the new online site.

What are your options?

All-in-one vs. freelance

You have two different options for outsourcing your small business web site design: All-in-one services can do everything from the initial design work to the development and maintenance of your site. They may provide all of the services, or a selection of Internet web site design services and then hire an outside firm for special job functions.

All-in-one companies provide a single point of contact to manage everything, helping reduce communication problems, and focus on handling your business needs. Freelance services allow you to hire outside help for one or two functions rather than larger companies offering an entire suite of services. Using a freelancer also gives you more control over the scope of your project, but requires you to take on additional project management responsibilities.

Creativity is crucial to being unique

Providing creative services related to web and printed media design. The aim is on professional and original designs created for the customer's need.

Uniqueness is the outcome of Creativity

Being unique carries traits of individual ideas or identity. Uniqueness portrays professionalism, so that you do not fall into the category of a "cookie-cutter" pattern. To reach these goals collaboration between client and designer is crucial.
