Argh! It's time spent.

Being in the business of web design is both rewarding and disheartening. Ever wondered what really goes on before you had your website up and running? Well, let me give you the run down.

So you have your company up and running and well all this talk about being online has really bogged you down. You searched and searched to find someone out there that really understands your business and is creatively inclined to get you what you need.

It’s the initial stage and wow you have all these ideas buzzing. You call in the web/ graphics company and phew you’re in a pickle. Is it a static website is it animated? Do you want CSS? How many pages and so on and so forth. God damn, I just need a website you think, what’s all this?

Well here it is. Let me bring it out to you loud and clear, that initial meeting is crucial to you getting what you want. I know this is harsh but make it a point to get a little research done so you don’t end up wasting your time and that of the chosen design company.

Tip Tip, Tippy Tip Tip!
What you can do to get it done smoothly.

Logo/ identity give it out in high resolution print format. No designer wants the task of scanning and re-inventing the wheel.

Pictures, remember you want people on the web to say wow that’s original. So don’t say give me stuff you got. It’s your website insist on pictures which are industry specific and catering to your business. Never mind if you have to spend a little more. You don’t walk into a restaurant and say, “Ok! I will have what’s on the menu.”

Content, make it crisp and short. About your company, services offered, news section and so on. Remember your visitors don’t want to read a book, if they did am sure they are all happy using the Kindle.

Corporate colors, layouts so that the design is appealing and not an eye sore.

Optimization of the website, Key Words, Meta Tags and proper link naming so that your website is finished and SEO ready.
