User Friendly Websites

User Friendly Websites make your site easier for your potential customers. They:

  • have clean layouts
  • offer easy–to–use navigation systems
  • load fast
  • are easy to read using the appropriate fonts and sizes
  • are Google friendly

Complicated navigation systems, multiple changes in format, and Flash technology are more artistic and fun, but they often lose the customer quickly. User Friendly Websites help to keep customers on your site–away from your competition. Most small businesses need only a simple website to be found by potential customers or as a place to refer clients for more information.

User Friendly Websites help to keep customers on your site, away from your competition.

Because User Friendly Websites is so essential to the success of your website, I automatically build it into your web design or redesign.

Websites Costs

Many people think web development is as easy as creating a Word document. There are free and cheap wysiwygs (what you see is what you get) software programs, or their brother/aunt/friend will do it for free. Non–coders think that their graphic design or computer programming skills qualify them for the job. I have fixed many a site that was created by well–meaning, yet inexperienced friends and family.

Stock Photo Websites

Here are some great web sites to find just the right photos for your project. You can usually get away with the medium size image, but I suggest you consult with your web designer before purchasing, to make sure you get an image large enough for your custom web design.
