Website Design Services
If your website hasn’t “hooked” your visitor in the first few seconds, then it’s CLICK! and they’re gone…
Visitors want to quickly find information about your company’s products and services and will make up their minds about your site in a few seconds.
How does your website stack up against the competition? If their sites look “better” than yours you probably want to think seriously about a new design.
Your Website Should Look Forward
Has your company “outgrown” it’s website? If your site hasn’t been updated for a few years then it’s probably reflecting your companies past, not its future.
An out-of-date site with stale content will not impress your customers.
If your site doesn’t reflect your company’s current brand and future direction, then it’s probably time for a redesign.
Your Website’s Content Should Be Up-To-Date
Search engines like websites with fresh content, so do your customers.
Would you like to make changes to your site, but are holding back because only the person who designed the site can update it. If so, then your site could use a redesign incorporating a content management system, such as WordPress, Joomla or Drupal.
A site designed using a CMS can incorporate a Blog or Newsletter, and allows you to modify pages yourself.
The ability to make timely changes means your content will be more relevant and you will be able to communicate more effectively with your customers.
Make Your Site More Customer-Friendly
Can people find your site? How do you rank with Google? A redesigned site can be optimized for search engine visibility.
Once on your site can visitors easily find the information they are looking for? How easy is it to navigate? With tools such as Google Analytics, your visitor’s navigational patterns can be analyzed, goals and success criteria can be determined and your site can be optimized to help your clients find what they want.
Is Your Website Collecting Dust?
How dated is your website. Was it designed to the fads of five years ago?
- Does it still use Frames?
- Does it have a Flash Intro Page?
- Was it was designed back in the days of 800×600 screens?
An old site can imply that you are no longer interested in it, or worse a company that’s gone out of business with an abandoned site.
If your site is starting to look a bit dated, it may be time for a makeover.

Quality Assurance
At this step, the design is checked for standards-compliance and that it functions with all major web browsers. Modifications and corrections are made to the design as necessary.
Website Launch
Once Quality Assurance and validation are complete, your new website is “launched” to the Internet and is now viewable to the public. We then submit the sitemap.xml file to the major search engines to let them know you are online!
