10 Things You Should Know About Web Design

1.  You will GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

Low budget websites do more harm than good.  If your website lacks quality and professionalism, your customers will think your business does too.

2.  A good website TAKES TIME.

A website that works on all computers, performs quickly, at the top of search results, easy to use, and looks professional takes a lot of time.  But it’s worth every penny.

3.  A GOOD DESIGNER must know code.

It’s not just the outside that matters, know what you have under the hood.  A Ferarri body on a Volkswagen frame won’t perform like a Ferarri.  Looks aren’t everything.

4.  You need to PLAN AHEAD.

Make a list.  Look at your competitors’ websites.  Write down what you do and don’t like.  Write out some descriptions about your business, including what you do, about your business, and contact information.  We can help you format it later.

5.  GOOGLE is your key to success.

Friends and relatives are truly unique when they offer their help to get your business off the ground.  But really, you’ll save time and money by doing it right the first time.

6.  A website must be EASY TO CHANGE.

People will most likely find you by searching the internet, which most popular is Google.  You want them to find your business first when they search for your services in your area.  If you’re not on the top for the correct keywords, you’re missing out.

7.  It’s really just more ADVERTISING.

Expensive web design software is a thing of the past.  Modern content management systems (CMS) allow for easy modification from any computer anywhere.  Even if you don’t edit your own content, a CMS will save editing time.

8.  Websites help ANY BUDGET.

Yellow Pages, Newspaper, Radio are all forms of advertising.  How many people use the internet to look for your business?  More than you think.  Almost every home has at least one computer.  Get the market before your competitors do.

9.  Just because you don’t use computers doesn’t mean your customers don’t.

Yellow Pages, Newspaper, Radio are all forms of advertising.  How many people use the internet to look for your business?  More than you think.  Almost every home has at least one computer.  Get the market before your competitors do.

10.  Your nephew is NOT a web designer.

Don’t let your fear or dislike of computers deprive your business of needed advertising.  49% of people are introverted, which means they prefer not to talk to people.  That’s a large chunk of customers who won’t be calling you.
