Finished another re-design : )

Have some web designer questions?

Great, we love questions!

First and foremost a web designer should have a good understanding of your business, who your target audience is and what you, as a client, are looking for in a website. Ultimately your website should have a purpose and be a way to make a connection with your customers.

Here are some of the common things we hear from clients…and while by no means an exhaustive list, key questions everyone should ask their web designer before committing to a contract:

  1. What services do you offer?
  2. Can you show me some websites your company has previously designed?
  3. How long do you expect it to take to design my website?
  4. What do you need from me to get started?
  5. Will I be able to see my website as you’re creating it?
  6. How much input will I have during the design process?
  7. Will you be providing any content?
  8. Can you help me get images for my website?
  9. What happens if I don’t like the initial design and how many revisions am I allowed to make?
  10. Will my website provide a consistent look with my already established brand?
  11. What type of content management system do you use and will I be able to make edits to the website after it’s finished?
  12. Will my website be compatible with smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices?
  13. Can you integrate social media into my web design?
  14. Will any SEO be integrated within my web design?
  15. How much do you charge and what is included in the price?
  16. What are your payment terms?
  17. Can I contact you for future updates, ongoing maintenance and support after my site goes live and what is the cost and billing procedure?
  18. Do you offer maintenance training?
  19. Do you offer or can you help me with hosting and domain name registration?
  20. Will I own my website once it’s completed?

I know, I know, so many things to consider that it can seem overwhelming. The thing is though, that it’s critical you do the footwork before embarking on a big website project so that you are assured you’ll get what you want and what you pay for.

We have many years of experience creating professional, functional websites for our clients—and we’d love to do the same for you. If you’d like to discuss your web design project in detail, give us a call.

 

Another re-design goes live!

A few weeks ago we announced that we were working on a website re-design for our client, Shocker Hitches.  We’ve been hard at it and the website’s now launched and live! Our clients offer a unique trailer hitch, the “Air Ride Shocker Hitch”, which uses a rocker arm pivot design that provides a down and back motion, much different than other air hitches on the market. These hitches provide users with a smoother, safer ride. Site features include a shopping cart to promote the variety of hitches and their benefits.

Our clients are extremely pleased with the outcome. They love the updated look and functional site features, and are really proud of it. That makes all the hard work worth it ; )

To see the design concept live visit Shocker Hitches.
