Website Design

What is good website design?

The answer depends on who your website is for.

If you're after the teen audience, you'll do fine with flashy multimedia, graphic-intensive pages with small text and "cool" features. These same features wouldn't work if you're after an older demographic or a business audience.

Being able to come up with a good website design starts with knowing who the site is for AND what your visitors want to accomplish while there.

I've been told this site is great because it's quick to download, easy to navigate and gives visitors what they're looking for. I've also been told it sucks because it doesn't have the same cool "techno" visual appeal as other sites. So far, the positive reviews outnumber the negative ones by 96 to 2.

Good design is subjective, but the opinions that count the most are those of your prospective customers (i.e. the ones who will be paying the bills). If the site appeals to them, they can accomplish what they set out to do by visiting and the goals of the site are being met, it's a good design.

Additional factors that are important (in our opinion) for good design include:

  • Search-engine friendliness
  • Ease of maintenance
  • A professional appearance

The bottom line: your site has to create a relationship with your potential customers. How it does that depends on who your customers are and their needs. You know your customers better than we do, but we will work with you to develop a website that reaches them when they need you and meets or exceeds their needs.
