Why a Website?

More than 75% of shoppers search the internet for the item they want before they buy it so developing an effective website has become an integral part of doing business. Your site does not have to be an e-commerce site to help you gain leads and sales although if you do have an e-commerce site your chances of getting that sale greatly increase. If the client can see that you have the item locally it may be enough to convert that lead into a sale. Some people need to see and touch an item before they buy it. If they see that you have it then chances are they will come to you.

Remember when you are creating a website you are not creating it for any other reason than to help solve your customers or clients problems. What visitors care about is solving their problems. NOW!  Most people visit a web site to solve one or more of these four problems:
  1. They want/need information
  2. They want/need to make a purchase / donation.
  3. They want/need to be entertained.
  4. They want/need to be part of a community.

Effective Website Design

You should be able to look at the home page of any site and figure out what the site is about within four seconds. If you can't, the site is a failure.

Creating an effective website in today's marketplace is the most beneficial way to help increase the visibility and potential of your business. Website design, when done correctly is user friendly, easy to navigate and tastefully designed. The excessive use of pointless, over-the-top graphics found in many web designs can confuse and frustrate visitors.

The main function of a web site is to quickly direct the user to the information they are looking for and to display that information quickly and clearly to maintain interest and to create either leads or sales.
