Many factors have to be considered when creating a
professional custom web site design. Ambitious Web
Services makes sure our
clients understand the importance of the following.
Factors to consider for a custom web site design:
Site must be easy to navigate. Bad navigation is
the number one reason visitors leave websites. While
each site is custom, it is imperative that the
navigation always be in the same place on each page.
Whether it is on the top, left, or right side does not
matter. Our custom web design company never recommends having links on the bottom
as the customer has to scroll many times to see it.
Consistency is the key.
First perceptions are everything. History tells
us that we have five to ten seconds to get visitors to stay on
a site. Therefore, never lose focus about why visitors need
your services above your competitors. Typed text is the
first thing to show on a site, so try and have a 'catch
phrase' on your home page that gets your visitors to
continue reading and visiting the entire site.
Limit flashy animations, graphics, and other
gimmicks in web design. Staying focused on promoting
your products/services and not your design is what
attracts customers to the site. In the end, most people
purchase services and/or products from websites that are
professional, but simple and easy to use.
Understand how your site displays on search
engines. If search engines are important to your
online presence, it is imperative that your site be
built for the major three search engines. Google, MSN, and
Yahoo have strict requirements. We stay up to date on
the latest algorithms and keep our customers informed
when their site no longer meets that criteria. We not
only strive to get your site listed in the top 20, but
we will assist you with a link strategy.
Keep your site fresh. Give your visitors a reason
to return. Offer them a newsletter, or update your site often
with new information or specials.
We can help you determine the best avenue to do this for
your company without making you a slave to your website.
Our custom web site design company also offers custom
software solutions and very affordable pricing. We're
her to save you time, therefore, saving you money.
Give your customers information. Visitors usually
want more than a phone number. They want information
about products and/or services before placing an order
or call. Provide concise, clear, easy to see
manner and sales will increase. Always have an FAQ,
support page, and policies page linked from
your home page. With many people being 'taken' by
today's websites, following this step will give them
security in using your services and products.
Make your contact information visible. Always
have an address on your site and a toll free number if
possible. If you want customers to call, put your number
on the top of every page. Never make your customers look
for your contact information. Forms are great, but make
sure it's not required in order to contact you. Always
give the visitor an email in case they don't want to
take the time to fill out the form.
Use a Full Service website design company for all
your needs. Many aspects of your website have to
work together in order to see a successful return on
your website. While the site needs to be built for
search engines, it should be built so that future
changes are quick and easy. Having one company handle
all the intricate details of the design, development,
search engine promotions, domains, etc. makes it much
easier for you and the design company to support your
issues. We recommend only using a custom web design
company that offers full development, promotions and has their own servers. Again, they need that
experience to help get your site up and running quickly
and efficiently, and it cuts time and money when they
aren't having to call an outside source.
Make your website an enjoyable experience for you as
well as your clients. Many of our customers like the
fact that they can call and say "If my site just did
this..." and we will respond with.. "Of course!." Our
custom web site design company understands that time is
money and your staff should not spend hours for things
that can be done in minutes. Call today and we'll help
you devise a quicker, more efficient way of 'getting
things done.' We're here to help!
Make sure the company you hire for your custom
website has a strong support team. Finishing your
site is only the beginning of having a successful
website. Half of our customers come to us from other
design companies. The number one reason is lack of
support. Obtaining a site requires knowledge from a full
custom website development company that understands not
only the web, but business in general. Our employees are
fully trained in all aspects of websites. You'll never
hear pages being turned because our employees reading
from manuals. This is the number one reason for our
success rate in maintaining clients. Our custom web
design company is second to none! |
