Web Design and You

By Kelly Montagna


Web design is a rather tall order these days. In the 90's, web design was easy, and quite a few people were experts. The design process was simplistic, and it did not take long to build a quality website. Quality was a bit debatable, but it did work.

With websites for tradies today however, you have more to think about. For example, will you be relying on graphics? Will you use CSS? What about PHP? What about a login interface? You need to consider all of these things, of course, but there are some obvious questions you must ask.

Where Will you Host? -- Before you can work on your web design, it would be a good idea to have a host in mind. There are several hosts available, naturally, and you should do your best to ensure the host supports the format you want to use. You will find that most plugins are quite supported, but you could have to pay extra.

Website Flow -- One of the biggest mistakes people make in web design is that of creating a website that simply does not flow. When you make your website, you should have others test it out. What works well for you might be difficult for others to use. That is certainly something to think about!

Lightweight -- The weight of the website is often ignored by develoeprs. Yes, computers are more powerful, and the internet is faster, but when you are working with web design, you still have one major goal: to make your website as small as possible. Because larger websites take longer to load, you might find yourself losing customers. Timing is everything.

While you could try to work on your own web design, it would likely be in your best interest to seek out a web design company that will take care of the heavy lifting for you. Though you might be able to create a website, your perspective will be a bit blurred. The things that you might find to be acceptable may be anything but acceptable on the internet. Along with that, where would you find the time to build a website when you are running a comapny. You probably won't. That stated, there are a plethora of web design companies that will help you in every aspect. There are plenty of technical considerations that you do not want to touch.

Will it cost a lot? It could cost you quite a bit, yes, but as we said before, it is better to have a fresh perspective when you are working on creating a company. Now would definitely be a great time to start seeking out a website developer that will get you to the finish line, and give your website the functionality it really needs.
