Is A Corporate Website Worth The Effort?
Posted On: October 1st, 2010

So much has been said about the value of a good website in recent years. I encounter many potential clients who (incorrectly) think that a website will solve all of their marketing problems. They don’t realize that having a corporate website developed is just the beginning, and unless you work with it, your new website isn’t likely to yield the results you desire. It’s like the old adage says: use it or lose it.

It’s the work that continues on after that will help your website (and your business) flourish.

Web Development Checklist
Posted On: September 28th, 2010

A simple listing of some things you need to consider for your website design and development – whether you plan to do it yourself or hire a professional (in no particular order):

Go clean or go professional.
If you envision a website using high end graphic design you’ll need to hire someone who can deliver this vision. If you plan to develop the site yourself and your design skills are limited, keep it clean and purchase what you need online to enhance your site’s design.

Reduce the clutter.
One would assume cluttered websites with animated gifs and bold centered text went out several years ago, but conduct a search via Google today and you can still find these cluttered websites everywhere. Nothing says “I don’t want your business” more than a cluttered, unappealing website (in my opinion).
