Design: it's everything you see and more
The design is the most important part of creating an effective website. When we speak of design, we are not only referring to the look of your website, but also the content, function, and useability. Each of these helps your website in the following ways:
The "look" - the colors, style, layout, and images used on your website make a statement about who you are and who you want to appeal to. The look should support the message your words convey.
Content - Words are your most important tool for turning a visitor into a customer. They are also the only way to tell a search engine what your website is about, so it appears in search results when appropriate.
Function - If your website needs to do something other than provide written information--such as sell products, interact with the visitor, store information, or play videos--these aspects have to work correctly and provide value for your visitors.
Useability - A common complaint from Internet users is that some websites make it hard to find what you're looking for. An effective website will have a logical structure and straightforward navigation. It will also be viewable with a variety of browsers and Internet speeds.
Because your website design will be unique to your business, we hesitate to list absolute prices for this area. But we would like to give you some price ranges, since that may be a point of concern for you.
