New Business Web Design Guidelines

By Stephen Grisham Sr.

Many new small-business owners want to save money by doing their website design and construction themselves. Unless a website is not going to be a major part of your business, most likely this is not a good idea unless you have been to school. Generally, the beginner will not be successful in web design and coding, and flash. The number of things to learn is just too great. Your new business needs to make sales, not spend all of your time working on a website.

Site Builders, with many template choices, can be found, and it's possible to create a good site even if you're a novice; however, for companies needing more than just an online presence, expert web design is best. An expertly designed site constructed around a Content Management System provides the best versatility because you can make small adjustments and additions on your own.

For good design and informative content, the pages of your website should be neatly organized. Provide information to your audience explaining your company and its goods and services. In order to show that you are unique in comparison to your competitors, you should emphasize your special features.

Your website pages should feature a consistent design that is not complex. You do not want to go into a lot of minute details and bore them; be concise and to the point. Create a comfortable atmosphere for visitors, which will influence them to use your service.

Tell them some information about your company. Adopt a professional manner of addressing viewers, but don't fall into the habit of using excessive jargon. Use simple and easy to understand language, but don't talk to people like they are simple. Put up some testimonials from your satisfied clients once you get a few. There isn't anything that is better for increasing confidence.

Have a logo created by an expert in case you haven't already got one. Use the same placement for your logo and menus consistently throughout the pages, which will keep viewers from being distracted from the content you offer.
