Web Design
Web design, when discussed in some circles, in generally the term used to describe the look and feel of a website; the colours, the images, and the overall look of the page. However, today, if you want an effective website "web design" has to take many other factors in to consideration.
And, understanding this is one of the key differences between an Internet Consultant and a web designer.
Hodder Online is focused on one thing - Return on Internet Investment (ROII). Our approach to web design is therefore about doing what is right for users of your site and search engines.
That is not to say that look and feel is not important - of course it is - but on its own it won't win business.
Effective web design requires consideration for the following:
- Technology - is the platform appropriate for your needs today, and tomorrow?
- Navigation - not only simple and intuitive, but avoiding technology that is unfriendly to search engines
- Functionality - Are you maximising the value to your users by creative use of functionality
- Compliance - to worldwide standards, W3C, and to the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
- Look and Feel - appropriate to your market - and remember "flashiness is trashiness"
All that said, you will of course want a web design that will project your business in the right way to achieve your online business goals. We work with local designers who have been doing this for years, and every time they come up with fresh, clean and modern designs that always please the eye as well as our clients.
Why not give us a call and see how we can improve your success with a well considered fresh web design.
