Before embarking on any website project, I recommend that you read what I have shared below about the benefits of a good website design and the benefits of having your website programmed with web standard
coding. Then contact me with any questions.
The Benefits of a Good Website Design
Your website is your company’s face to the world. New potential customers and clients will visit your website and decide in a moment what their relationship will be with your company’s products and services. Does your website accurately reflect the best of what you have to offer?
If you are an artist, is there creativity in your design? If you offer business services, does your website have focus, direction and clarity? If you are selling a product, does your website design reflect the specific qualities and attributes that make your product unique and valuable to your customers?
This is true about the quality of the overall website design and layout, and also about the appropriateness of design to what you are selling. If you are selling flowers, your website design needs to reflect beauty. If you are selling hammers, your website design needs to reflect durability and strength. Your website design is crucial to its success in serving your business.
The look and feel
of your website design impacts your visitor's experience and the actions they choose to make, as does the content of your website, and the ease and clarity of navigation. A good design attracts clients and helps them say yes
.
Visitors to your website will consciously evaluate your products and services based on the content of your website, but more importantly, visitors to your website will unconsciously evaluate your products, services, and your company based on the image that is presented in your website's design. Have you applied the same care and ‘attention to detail’ with your website as you have with your products and services?
Not All Code is the Same
Behind the curtain of your website is the code that makes your site look and function the way it does.
Within the last decade there has been tremendous progress in the development and adoption of web standards. Web standards were created to reduce the cost and complexity of development while increasing the accessibility and long-term viability of any site published on the web.
— the web standards project
What this means for you as a website owner is that your site can benefit from:
- Lower costs in the development, maintenance, and even complete re-design of your website;
- Increased access by all major browsers in addition to the growing number of alternate devises used today to view content on the internet, such as PDAs and cell phones;
- Forward compatibility, meaning your site will still work the same way long into the future;
Additionally, if your site is designed utilizing these standards in the proper way, the content of your website will benefit from being properly understood and categorized by search engines. Translated, that means higher ranking and better positioning in the search engine results.
If you already have a website, and your website was not created utilizing web standard coding, then you will not receive these benefits, and your website will be at a disadvantage in these ways. If you are not sure, send me an e-mail with your website name, and ask me to check and let you know.
