When it comes to web design all advertising rules apply and then some. While it is a relatively new advertising medium, it is none the less a form of marketing communications, therefore advertising logic still applies.
Many web sites are created by web technicians. Technically they are efficient and work great, however, as an effective marketing tool they miss the mark. Other sites are created by web artists. These are on the opposite spectrum, technically lacking but creatively rich, they work slow and the creators seemed to be more concerned with esthetics rather than selling.
Yes, a website has to look good and it does have to work well, but most importantly, it has to sell. We combine the expertise of the web technician, the esthetics of the web artist and the savvy of the marketing expert to create sites that help our customers promote and sell their products on the internet.
Products and services differ, so does the approach and methodoly to marketing them. These rules extend to the internet as well. Consumer products are sold differently than business to business products or services. Don't expect to see retail sites that look like institutional or industrial sites, and If they do, someone is not doing a good job. Some of these use templates or cookie cutter sites, where the only difference is the logo and text content. They are inexpensive but you get what you pay for.
We know enough to know you don't sell gear cutting machines like you sell shoes or bananas. We create custom web sites that are designed to reflect the nature of your business and attract qualified customers. From simple sites to a full blown retail sites with shopping cart capabilities, we have the expertise to make it work.
Once you site is up, then what? Unless you advertise your site, no one will know it's there. The solution is using web strategies to make your site more visible to search engines. This is especially important if you are relying on your site for retail sales.
Not only can we design your site to sell your products more effectively, we can improve its visibility of your site to search engines by using optimizing strategies and pay per click advertising. Call us at 585-271-8080 for rmore details.
