1. Your website is you.

A website offers potential customers instant credibility, while offering them a glimpse into the type of business you are operating.  Having your neighbor's teenager designing your website would be like allowing then to design your office or store front. As much as we would like to allow friends and family the opportunity we need to realize just what we are allowing them to do. We are putting our business, our reputation and our livelihood into the hands of those who are not qualified. Your website is what business cards used to be. Back in the day the only way you could build instant credibility with a customer was to hand them a high-impact, high-quality business card. One that was created with the most expensive paper and printing service you could afford. That showed them you meant business, that you cared enough about your reputation, your company and yourself to spend extra money. You only get one shot at a first impression - what do you want that to be like for the customer?

2. Professionalism

One of the most heard stories from customers we hear is that most designers are not reliable. Oh, they start out great, they are nice and considerate. But they fail to deliever what they promised. Or once payment was made you could not get a hold of them, response time was slow or even non-existent. Does that sound familar? We, like yourself, have been on the client site of the design process so we understand and empathize with you. You want to have cutting-edge design choices that can effectively communicate your companys products and services. You want someone who can communicate effectively with you and your staff and that actually has the skills neccessary to produce the work you need. Also, you want someone who is knowledgable about the entire life cycle of the design process, from concept, to marketing to maintenence. Someone who can produce not only a site that is visually appealing, thought provoking and unique, but on that is also functional and easy to maintain.

3. Saving Time

Time is Money! And having the launch of your website delayed is costly and frustrating. As a design professional I understand that there is more at stake just coding your websites HTML. So I work to find ways to reduce how long it takes to launch your site without sacrificing quality or style. This is accomplished by our commitment to work with cutting-edge technologies while continuing to develop our skills through education and training. All this is done to ensure to reduce the time it take to re-build, re-design and re-create your website.
 

4. Beating the Competition

In todays Internet world it is not often when you can gain an advantage over your competition. Launching a fresh, technologically advanced and appealing site is one of those ways. Keeping your site up to date with the changes in technology, design style and functionality shows your customers that you are committed to them, as much as to your continual growth. First Impressional are hard to change, most of the time you do not get a second chance. But getting customers coming back to you take an effective design coupled with an effective marketing campagin. And part of that marketing campaign is your sites functionality and "freshness". If your site is the same today as it was 6 months ago - why should people visit it again? your website should be an ever-growing, ever-changing information exchange between you and your customers. We can help you implement and esaily maintain that campaign.

6. Say what you mean, and mean what you say!

What does a great domain name or design matter if you can not effectively communicate your message to customers? As a professional designer my goal is to ensure people know who you are, what you do and how you can help them. A picture says a thousand words, so does the use of use of colors (tone & hues), fonts, shapes and layout. Communicating an effective message is more than just the actual text and content of a site. If it also the feeling a site gives to people.
 

7. Attention

Having a professional look and attractive website will bring you more attention from your peers, patrons and potential advertisers. Word of mouth advertising has always been one of the most powerful tools to date. Offering your customers and potential customers a nicely designed site gives them something to talk about with their family, friends and business associates.

8. Search Engine Optimization

What would happen if you have a store where people did not know the phone number or street address? Your business would close.  Being 1 of 64,000,000 means you better know how to help people find you. With the advent and presence of search engines it is easy to find a website, provided you are listed with that search engine. It is a waste of time, money and resources to have a great looking site that no one can find. Having a good search engine ranking is essential because they are probably going to be the number one way potential customers will find you. As a professional web designer I understand and know to create a web site to make it search engine-friendly. No one can guarantee you the top spot on a search engine, but a good designer can put you on the road to getting there.

9. Browser Compatibility

Browser Incompatibility occurs when a web site doesn’t look the same way on different browsers. The reason for this is that different browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Safari, etc.) use different standards for displaying web pages. And even sometimes the same website will look different between different versions of the same browser. As technology moves forward we can bringing those standards closer between all the browsers but there are still differences. Web designers are skilled at understanding these differences and capable of making your site display properly on a variety of browsers. We test all our clients sites on a vareity of browsers, to ensure that a majority of people from all over the world on all different browsers can see your site the same way.
