But do you want to look good or Do you want to look good and SELL?

It's a well Known FACT: People surfing websites form an opinion about your company based on its website design in just 8 seconds. Yep you have 8 seconds to capture their attention before they click away never to return! This is loosely based on the following. Do you look professional? Established? Capable? Does your website design itself support the claims you make in your page sales copy. Or does your design detract from your message and work against you? Many web designers think their only job in life is simply to make your site look pretty. That approach might win you accolades and design awards but is it going to get you sales and pay your bills?

Web Design, Internet Marketing and Search Engine Optimization

We know many web designers that are great at designing! We know many internet marketers that are great at writing sales copy and terrible at design. We don't know of many web design companies that marry the two together! We do. If you want to succeed then you simply cannot have your website designed without including and thinking about internet marketing and Search Engine Optimization aspects. The web design process itself MUST include thoughts about your customers and what they want and need from you. The design must be tailored around your sales copy with a call to action always visible. Without a call to action your prospects will think hmm nice site, click, gone!

As a general rule

• Design is what serves to create and enhance your image. It is also what captures a surfers initial interest to look deeper
  
• Once the design has done its work, the Words on the page are what sell your products and services NOT the images!
