Website Design is the process of creating an appealing looking website. A good designer, though, will do much more than just create a “nice” design.
A good designer knows that a design needs to suit the business, and that it should reflect the unique aspects of the business in question. For example, a website for a jewelry store can't just look like a site for a jewelry store, it has to have the character and personality of the products and of the site owner or business. Good design also means that the design reinforces the marketing messages of the site, and that it appeals to the target market of the site in question. This is often subtle, and something that people who are not in that target market may not understand well. A good designer will be able to convey that message to the target market though, in a way that helps them feel comfortable doing business there. And lastly, a good design will function with the other facets of the site – it won't interfere with good search engine optimization, it will be functional and intuitive, and it will help bind the other parts of the site together rather than being a separate or competitive element. You can get a good design from a template – but you can almost NEVER get a good design from a template unless you change it to make it accurately reflect the unique personality of the individual business. A good designer will get to know the client, and familiarize themselves with the product, the business, and the target market. They will not just whip out a spiffy looking design that has nothing to do with the business in question. Good designs are personal – uniquely suited to the individual business. They need not be expensive, but they absolutely MUST be personalized! Tell us about your business, and see what we can create for you!
