Tips & Things to Consider

If you're considering designing or redesigning a website, consider the following questions and advice:

Using the Web to Presell

Small businesses that provide an online brochure of their products and services discover that it helps them filter out unproductive phone calls.
Think in terms of "preselling" ... we want the site to sell the product before the prospect calls you.

Who is your Target Market?
What are they looking for?

Who will visit the site and what are they looking for? Make sure they find it!
Have you visited competitor websites to help you determine the features you need? For example, service providers commonly want features like "testimonials", "refer this site" and basics like a "contact me" page.
Is there any free content you can include? "How-to" guides or sample workbooks can be very effective in generating interest.

Getting Started: Web Development

If you shop around and are starting from scratch you need the following: domain registration, website hosting, and website development. We provide all of these services for our clients because they prefer the peace of mind.
Develop your bio and elevator statements for the business. This is key information for your website - afterall, it is an online brochure too!! Keep in mind, you wouldn't put your resume into a brochure. Don't worry, most new businesses go through many drafts of their elevator statement and have entire teams working to refine it! We can work on this with you.
Many of our clients are individuals who provide a service. Do you have a professional headshot? This investment is worth every penny - and you'll be able to leverage it for years.
Do you have 5-10 key images that exemplify the company or service provided? If you don't have the images, can you describe them or provide examples to your developer?
