I've always wondered why anyone would want to hack a small local site. What's the motivation? Recently I discovered it's for practice or just fun! They aren't necessarily criminals but they can be. Here's a great site that goes into the philosophy about who and why they do it: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/hackers/whoare/.

Here's a free checklist to use when planning your web design.

Its useful to organize and make sure you have everything you need and can present to your designer. If you have a logo it's a good idea to have that ready also. When I design sites, I like to use the logo to inspire the overall look. If your business needs a logo I can design one for you.

Here's some other points to keep in mind:

Make it obvious what your site is offering, in other words, make it easy to find things. I have the tools to help you design a friendly, easy to use and affordable website. Don't let customers waste time hunting around your site for something simple, like how to contact you.

web designNow for the actual design ...

Your visitor comes to your website for ONE reason only ... they think you have what they want. DON'T distract them with blinking or scrolling text, animated GIFs, or some kind of sound or music. It's not only confusing but a sign of an amateur website.

Web Design

There are many different kinds of websites to choose from, self-managed, ecommerce, blogs, CMS, static ... but no matter what type of website you choose, you need a good web design. Professional websites are what will separate you from your competitors.

Good Web Design doesn't mean Flashy!!

People aren't coming to your website to be impressed by graphics, flash or special affects. Normally, they are there for a reason, a solution to a problem, a product they are trying to find. Your website should be as obvious as possible, if they are searching for "shoes" then somewhere big and bold your website needs to say "Shoes Sold Here" or something similar.

In other words, you can get all the traffic you want, but once a visitor gets there, if they can't find what they are looking for easily - then they will click away. Clicking away from your website is termed "bounce rate". It means just that - a potential customers "bounces" in and out of your website within seconds. If you have a high "bounce rate" then even though you may have lots of visitors, they aren't finding what they want so they are moving on to your competitors.

Professional web designers know how to advise you on how to attract visitors to stick around and look over your site. A good web design shows your visitor just what your website offers, right away, no tricks, gimmicks or extra clicks to get there.

Don't make your customers wait!!!
