Web Design & Implementation

Let's face it, we all now that nowadays your website is your premiere & most valuable marketing tool in your arsenal to promote and display your business to the world.

There are so many benefits that a website can provide you with, that many other types of advertising can't do for you. For one your website can be seen by anyone anywhere in the world 24/7. It can do far more than just display your business, it can tell your potential customer who you are and what you stand for. You can sell items directly from your site, just like a store front in a mall, less all the harsh expenses of rent and utilities.

Now having said that your website can also be your biggest enemy. Just like buying a car you should not rush into the process of building a website without having done some research on what the costs are as well as what you will be getting for you money. There are a dime-a-dozen different companies out there that would be more than happy to take your money. In the end it is up to you to ensure that your website will promote and complement your business properly. There really is no excuse to not have an eye-catching well laid-out website, otherwise you face the risk of having potential customers visit your site once and never return.

Of course most of us don't have tons of money to sink into a website, especially when we're starting up a new company. It can be overwhelming to say the least, but this is where we suggest to start small but smart. Start off by making sure you're site look great and start with just a couple of pages. The design of a good website will always provide you the option to grow and expand on it over time.

So what should I be looking for when having a website built? Good question! We believe first and foremost that the website should have these following attributes:

Keep it simple!

By this we mean make the website easy for people to navigate around, to get to the pages they're looking for. Ensure the text is easy to read and that the website is not cluttered with lots of flashy stuff.

Too slow! You snooze You loose!

A website should be fast to load and all the graphics in your site should be optimized for quick loading. How slow is too slow? Well a survey suggests that people are likely to abandon a website if it takes longer than four seconds to load.

You don't need to be rich but your content does!

Your site should at all times reflect the business you are trying to sell and promote. This means it should be rich in content and be capable of quickly changing or adding text & images to your website.

For the love of God - Don't be boring!

Put your best foot forward at all times when representing yourself and your business. This means have your website look the part. There are some great websites out there but they look horrible. You can't afford to not look good right? This is where you need to ask the company designing your site whether or not they can produce their own graphics and give you the look you want.

Peek-a-boo - I can see you!

Can your website be found on the internet? This is also known as SEO (Search Engine Optimization). A website should have some standard SEO applied to it when you have a website built. This will be sufficient for you to be found on the web through companies like Google, Yahoo or Bing. Should you want to become more competitive with your competition on the web, advanced SEO packages can be bought to increase your ranking potential.
