Effective Website Design - Web-Design

Effective Website Design

In this era of ultra-sophisticated internet marketing and web design,
there is no excuse for an e-business to suffer with an ineffective
website. Whether your goal is to present a basic business website that
briefly introduces and describes your company and product, or you endeavor
to develop a fully-functioning cash-cow storefront, there is a wide array
of design choices to cater to all of your needs. Your website should fit
your business like a well-tailored Armani suit. It should reflect exactly
who you are and at the same time, instill confidence in the potential
buyer that your business is solid, stable and reliable.

Your website is only effective if it also quickly moves the user from
visiting to inquiring to buying your product or service. It is possible to
create your website in-house. But in order to achieve the crucial balance
between the eye-catching graphics and copywriting needed to best represent
your company, and the super-efficient communication and purchase
processing needed to catch every sale possibility, a web-design
professional is your most time efficient option.

A good webdevelopment firm can construct your entire website for you. Once
you provide them with details about your business needs and website
desires, they do the work in a much shorter time because they have already
acquired an arsenal of expertise in the internet marketing field. Since
time is always of the essence in business, a fast turn-around time is a
major advantage.

If your website is already up and running, but not bringing the increased
customers or profits hoped for, Internet Marketing professionals can
update and streamline your site. In the quickly evolving world of internet
marketing, new website products and services are appearing all of the
time. A good internet marketing firm prides itself in knowing the most
up-to-date and state-of-the-art products and processes. When a good
internet marketing expert works their magic, you will see an almost
immediate boost in the efficiency of your site to attract customers and
keep them.

Is A Picture Really Worth a Thousand Words?
The great debate: how much copy you should have on your site, particularly
on the home page?Do you subscribe to the idea that a picture is worth a
thousand words--and therefore images, not a lot of text, should be the
main thrust of your home page? Or do words have more power to capture a
visitor's attention and compel them to buy--meaning you should aim for
powerful copy?As a graphic designer, my natural inclination is to create
graphically-rich, light text websites. Since I'm focused on what a site
looks like visually, I like using impressive images, bold splashes of
color all over the page, and not very much copy.

What I Look For In a Website
As my occupation is that of a proofreader, one of the first things I look
for in a website is quality copy; to me it's important that the textual
content is clear and concise with correct spelling and proper punctuation.
Many websites I have looked at have sadly failed to follow this basic rule
and the build emphasis has been centred on flashy eye-catching graphics,
quite often at the expense of the copy.
