I started making websites professionally back in 1995 and have managed web design companies ever since. Over the years I’ve learned a lot about what works on the web and what to avoid. With so many options to choose from, one of the most difficult parts of creating a website for yourself or your business is simply where to start.
New sites
I sit down with you and discuss what you’d like to get out of your new site and what it should do for visitors. It’s important to establish goals up front before we get into other details such as how it looks and feels. Once we’ve established the goals and a budget range, I can refer you to a trusted provider who will build your custom site, or help you with a more template-based “do it yourself” solution.
Existing sites
It’s easy to get a website made. The difficult part is making a website that actually works well for your visitors. This can be tricky, and it can help to have someone with an outside perspective look over your site and make recommendations for improvement. When I review your site I’ll make specific suggestions for:
- Ease of use
- Visual appeal
- Improving/adding functionality
- Marketing effectiveness
- Search Engine Optimization
- Accessibility
- Effective use of video
- Creative new ways to present yourself or your products
