How to Pick a Web Design Firm
The image your website design projects on the Internet is one of
the most important aspects you need to keep in mind at all times
when choosing a website design firm. It is very important to
remember that most of your visitors haven't spoken to you yet
and your site will be the first impression they have of your
company. If your website design lacks professionalism and/or
does not reflect that of a well established company, your new
prospect can easily loose confidence.
Although probably very well intentioned, most website design
firms lack the experience and artistic skill to give their
clients the website design that truly represents them. You'll
probably quickly realize that programmers are not the best
designers. That is why a website design company should have
their production teams split in 2. A website designer or
designers who create layouts and website programmers who, when
the website design is approved, codes the layout so it becomes a
functional website. Many times business owners will concentrate
only on the design of a web site and not the functionality.
Meaning that they will spend thousands of dollars on a web site
that the moment they have to change something they realize that
they have to actually pay for the web design company to do it
for them or hire a specialized staff member who can do it. See
www.nikosoftware.com for more examples.
This can be fatal to your business, not being able to change
your web site in a timely manner. Somewhere around 60% of the
work on an average website (10 pages) should be on its design
(choosing the right pictures, text layouts, menus and
disposition for the overall website). The other 40% should be on
making the web site functional so that the business owner,
clerical staff or other non-technical staff members at the
company can actually make changes to the site or add
functionality to it such as newsletters, online forms and
ecommerce. These are critical items that many businesses
overlook and end up paying big later when they need it.
Website design compatibilities:
It is fairly easy to build a basic website design these days,
with all the programs that automate code; hence there are a lot
of so called "professional" website design firms or website
designers (the guys who do this from the computer in their
apartment). But only a very small fraction of people who can
actually build a website can do a good job at it. The quickest
example I can give you is when building a site there is a lot to
consider when programming the code.
Compatibilities include:
PC Internet Explorer V4, V5, V6 Netscape V5, V6, V7
Mac Internet Explorer V5, V6 Netscape V5, V6, V7 Safari, Opera,
etc,
Now if the site isn't programmed in accordance with all these
browsers, browser versions and operating systems, the website
design will most likely display incorrectly when visited. Exp:
some images might not load, some

How to Create a Web Site the Smart and Easy Way Posted By : Ryan Gutierrez
Don't let college professors, web developers and other professionals fool you: creating a web site in this day and age is easy! These people are perpetrating the myth that not only is creating a web site hard, it requires technical knowledge such as HTML, CSS and PHP. While it is useful to some extent to know these things, if you're just trying to put together a web site for your club/organization, family or event, learning these skills is not only overkill, it's a waste of time.

pictures might be crooked; some
functions can lead to error messages, etc. And all this is but
one of the multiple details that should always instinctively be
kept in mind when programming and designing a site.
Make sure that you pick a company that has experience in
building sites for multiple industries and have designed on
multiple platforms. The best way to ensure this is to choose a
company that has developed at the least 100 web sites in
multiple industries and that is an actual company with support
and administrative staff. Some companies on the web look like
they are big companies but may only have one or two people
working there. You don't want to put your web site in the hands
of a company or college student who won't be there for you when
you need it.
Website design structure:
I am sure you have been on a website before where you have felt
confused and or could not find what you where looking for, and
so ended up leaving and feeling frustrated. Unfortunately this
happens all too often because a lot of website designers out
there are very computer savvy and program the website in
function of how they would like it, not keeping in mind the fact
that most of the visitors will not be website designers or
programmers and sometimes barely know how to open their own
computer.
When creating a website design, it is important to not only make
sure that the visitor knows at all times what section they are
visiting and can reach any section easily, but also make sure
that the information in those sections is clearly displayed and
not confusing.
Getting your website design project right the first time:
A lot of the business in the website design industry is
generated by clients that have already paid to get a website
design in the past, and after using it for a while are not
satisfied with it. Eventually these clients end up calling
another website design firm because they decide they need to
upgrade their image so they can use their website to its full
potential. But sadly for the client he ends up paying sometimes
almost twice the amount because the first website design won't
be used anymore and the website has to be completely redesigned
from scratch. Unfortunately it is very easy to be misled and a
lot a people get frustrated with their website design because
there is so much they don't know about websites and the Internet
in general. This is why we suggest choosing a software company
as opposed to a web design firm. Web design firms build out web
sites that look great but have no functionality and are very
difficult to change. For more information go to resources on
