Frequently Asked Questions

Great web designers focus on more than just the design aspect of your site. They will do proper research, plan an entire online strategy and even write your website’s copy. They will ensure that your website is designed to engage your visitors and generate leads. If you tried to design your own site with free or cheap self-generating website services not seeing any results, then it is probably because you site is not engaging enough. Your site should address your visitor’s concerns and tell them how you can help to solve their problem.

We receive many calls from potential customers asking us to design a website. When we ask why they need a website they usually say something like “I just need to be on the web” or “I just want something for my customers to look at”. This could not be more wrong. Of course, some institutions such as educational institutions may want a specific site for research or to find technical information, but your site should help you generate sales. It is more than a digital brochure and certainly more than a place for you existing customers to look at nice pictures.  You need to tell potential customers how you can help them and generate enough interest that they will get in contact with you. Monthly website costs should not be an expense. It should be an investment that yields more income that its cost.

It is important to decide what you expect from your web designer. Do you only need someone with web design knowledge, to do exactly what you want or are you looking for an experienced professional who can add value to your online marketing strategy.
