Website Design

Now when it comes to websites they're a bit like cakes (liking our analogies? Don't worry – you'll get used to them!)

Whilst some might be pretty to look at, they might be too miniature to be getting the attention they really deserve in a busy cake store or winning at the shows. They end up in the shadows of the shelves for the little bakery mice to have a nibble on now and then, but even they aren't about to go telling the whole tribe about it.

Some might be elaborate and seem to have everything ‘going on' but they're not the ones people decide to pick up and take away in the cake box for morning tea – there's just too many other good choices.

Others really don't seem that bad at all, but once you get inside and taste it you realize that they've just been made ALL WRONG and you'll NEVER EVER GO THERE AGAIN!

Basically when it comes to good web design it is much about functionality as it is about design.

Sure, we like things to be pretty (like the cakes) as much as the next person (after all we're a bunch of Generation X & Yers on the whole) but at the end of the day THE MOST IMPORTANT THING to us (and it should be to you) is that the website design complements the functionality and that the WEBSITE WORKS.

That the website user can quickly and easily find the information they are trying to retrieve/discover. That the website user takes the desired action you want them to take (after all YOU should be in control of the user experience) and that they find the whole thing generally aesthetically appealing…and that of course also depends on who you're targeting.

A well designed website needs to not only look good and well laid out but it must be programmed properly. Unlike printed materials, a website will display differently on different aged computers, screens, and browsers (Internet Explorer v Firefox v Netscape etc) and therefore you will need to ensure you are choosing a web designer who takes these things into consideration as they design.

Collectively our team have many years of experience within the industry. We regularly teach people at seminars, events and programs. We've won awards. In a nutshell, we have the skills to get the job done right.

We are passionate about our industry and the opportunities it presents and we want results for our clients. After all, it makes us look better!
