Website Design Services

Your Goal

It isn't enough to just have a website. Your website must be easy for visitors to navigate, the content, text and graphics, must be easy to read and understandable. And most important of all your website needs to be found by the people you are trying to reach.

How is this achieved?

The answer is good design because good design makes a website user friendly. Characteristics of a good website design are easily recognizable. For example:

• Navigation menus between pages are clearly marked and each page has distict content.
• The photos and graphics are chosen because they enhance the contextual content of the page.
• The overall size of each page makes it easy and fast for visitors to download regardless of their connection speed.
• When visitors land on your website they recognize that the content matches your website's description in the search engine listings.

Design Services

The design process begins by finding out what you want visitors to do at your site and together we plan the design of your website. First, we will determine the number of pages and then the features needed to reach those results. Prices for services are set by the amount of time it takes to build your site and this can be estimated once we determine the number of pages and features of your website. You will determine what photographs or graphics and text and headings are used to convey your message.

We will also discuss the importance of validating the html and all cascading style sheets associated with your website, the importance of meta tags and very importantly, browser compatibility. Just because a website looks great in FireFox does not mean that it will look the same in Internet Explorer or Macintosh's Safari. These discrepancies must be addresses and corrected.
