Website Design

Millions of consumers today turn to the worldwide web to find services and products to use, and even more will log on in the years to come.  It is vital that your place on the web be noticeable, useful, and professional.  Consider that your website is often times the very first contact that you have with potential clients, and it needs to make a good first impression!

Designing a good website is comprised of seven steps.

Step 1:  Hire an excellent designer (that’s me!)

Step 2:  Relax as I guide you through steps 3-7

Step 3:  Buy a domain and hosting package.  If this sounds foreign to you, don’t worry – there are a multitude of companies out there offering these services that I’m very familiar with.  I recommend and prefer to use Network Solutions. I can purchase the domain name and hosting package for you, or you may prefer to do so yourself by clicking here. The standard hosting package is $9.96/month.

Step 4:  Decide on the look and feel of your website.  You want a site that will be as welcoming to your guests as that open door of your foyer.  Your site should also have the same branding colors, texts, and logos as your current marketing material.  Often I can create the feel you have in mind by viewing other sites you find appealing and by reviewing the material you have on hand.

Step 5:  Determine the organization and content of your website.  Not only does your website need to look appealing, it also needs to function properly and easily for all level computer users.  Your site can contain anything from relaxed, stationary photos to interactive, dimensional Flash movies.  If you are lacking in inspiration or photos for your site, I am happy to provide both.

Step 6:  Review, Revise, and Go Live!  It may take a few revisions before your site looks the way you have visualized it. Once you approve the final product, I will showcase it on the worldwide web for all to visit.

Step 7:  Get Noticed!  Now that your site is out there for all the world to see, you’ll need to drive traffic to it for it to perform the way you intend it to.  Search Engine Optimization (SEO) includes coding options to increase search engine visibility (keywords, descriptions, and graphic alternate text on the home page).  In other words, I’ll enhance your site so that web surfers will come across your site quickly and easily when they are searching for services that you offer.

Website Makeovers

There is something immensely satisfying in taking an old, tired website and making it over to look fresh, vibrant, and progressive.  I am happy to transform your current placid site into a welcoming venue for visitors.
