Small Business Website design begins with Visibility and Usability

Number one is Visibility: If your website cannot be found, your Return on Investment will be ZERO!  Number two is Usability: if your website is not user-friendly, potential customers are not going to use it and again your ROI will be zero.

The major eight steps in establishing a profitable small business website Internet presence are. . .

1) Analyzing current and possible future true customer base.  You must know who your online audience will be before you can appeal to them.  You have to define them as precisely as possible in the hope of understanding the way they seek online.

2) Brainstorming to find keywords your true customers will most often use when searching the web.  Everyone representing your enterprise who has knowledge of the Internet and meets your current customers on a regular basis can and should help during this critical step.  Filter the resulting list of keywords by using them on Internet search engines to find who your competition is and what they are up to.

3) Collect the physical assets (domain name(s), web host, etc.) to begin designing.  This process is mostly my responsibility.  I have found an extremely reliable and inexpensive web hosting company.  I know what software, training, and domain names are necessary to create a highly visible, attractive website.

4) Design with search engine visibility, ease-of-use, and attractiveness in mind.  There are many search engines each with their own methodology for ranking sites but only a few are important.  You cannot satisfy them all.  I design with the top four (90% of Internet searchers use one of the four) in mind.  Furthermore, each of your customers’ online physiological comfort must be considered always.

5) Execute the design.  The complexity and size of your website dictate the time needed before your site can be completed.  Even small business websites must be designed with a minimum of five pages before submitting to search engines for listing: once again, size matters.

6) Further site visibility by promoting both on and off the web.  Once the domain name has been chosen, you must begin to place it everywhere practical.  Your website must link to other related but non-competing Internet  sites.

7) Gather feedback from online customers concerning the website’s usefulness.  The most important step you can take to enhance repeat business.  If the site never offers anything new, how many times would anyone check back?

8) Monitor website statistics and maintain.  The Internet is a dynamic medium.  You will want to update content and keep it fresh, to know your site is up and running at least 99.5% of the time, and what your site’s position is on the major search engines.  You will want practical ways to measure its impact on your bottom line.

Professional Web Design for smart businesses.

In today’s online marketplace, a professional business image is critical for any business to do business from a web site.

First impressions count for everything. The most important, yet most overlooked element in designing a web site with impact, is the proper layout of your information and graphic design. Using your present marketing information or designing the site from the bottom up requires skill and craftsmanship. The Web is a media like no other and requires a somewhat unique approach.

Our design team will provide you with web pages that are clear, easy to navigate, and user friendly. The hyperlinks to additional information will provide your customers with instant access to the types of information they are looking for. We make your graphics and information download quickly to ensure that more people will stop by for a visit and remain at your website longer.

When it comes to the design of the web site that we provide, we ascribe to the philosophy that:

White space is good.

Clean web page design and easy navigation are critical.

Graphics must be clean and professionally done.

Sometimes “bells and whistles”, or too many of them, detract from a web site, it’s content, and the message(s) you are trying to convey to your visitors.

Web sites must be designed to look good in multiple web browsers and in multiple screen resolutions.

All web pages must be checked for code validation and spell checker to ensure proper display of the page.

Your website will be optimized for the two top browsers, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape which are used by approximately 85% of all web users. But your site will also be designed for those users with other web browsers so everyone visiting your site will see great looking pages.

You have no doubt seen the web sites designed by the business owner or his friend to try and cut corners on expenses by not hiring a professional web designer. To appear professional and businesslike on the web is especially important for any business.

Many operators of businesses fail to establish and maintain a positive, professional web business image. The perception could develop that the owner is an amateur and is not capable of operating a viable business just by viewing the web site. This may not be the case at all.

That is why it is so important to hire a professional web designer to ensure your website’s first impression to your visitors is a positive one.
