Website Design

The first question we ask ourselves and our potential customers is

"What is the main function of this website?"

For vast majority of our clients the answer is simple "more sales"

The telephone is still the most dominant form of communication and any website designer worth his salt knows that the business telephone number should be displayed prominently on the website preferably on every page. In our experience visitors are in "search mode" if your tap is leaking and you need a plumber all you want to know is

1. Is this a plumbers website
2. Are they local
3. What is their telephone number.

If you want a quote for a new garden gate as a visitor all you are interested in is

1. Does this company go garden gates?
2. What is their phone number?

If you want to book a restaurant

1. What kind of food do they do?
2. Where is it
3. What is the telephone number.

In this respect one could argue that a website is merely a telephone number surrounded by lots of keywords to make sure it gets found by people searching for your goods and services.

Pictures and images are a great way to instantly establish in the visitors mind what the website is about and play an important role in website design.

The Speed at which a web page loads is still today a very important factor of web design especially with relatively slow mobile internet connections on mobile phones etc.

Browser compatibility is another important aspect of website design there are well over 50 mainstream browsers and they only way to ensure maximum browser compatibility is to make sure that every page conforms to W3C standards. We are committed to conforming to W3C standards and all the websites we make on behalf of clients are checked to make sure they conform.

A web designer needs to understand is that the website they're designing is not for the company its for the visitors! This simple fact is often overlooked by designers and business owners alike We see websites droning on about how long they've been in business and how great their service is and all the time the visitor is thinking

"Where is the bloody phone number?"
