Website Design

The design of a website must achieve several things in order for it to accomplish the desired response from a customer.

Most importantly it needs to look great, the design must reflect the nature of the companies’ image, and relate to the desired customer. Second, the design must be well laid out, logical and allow for easy navigation throughout the entire site. And lastly, the design must be effective at closing the sale, whether that’s a sale of a product, a completed inquiry form or a logged email address.

Website Development

Website production includes all elements essential to building and updating a website and it features. This includes the copy (text), images, video, audio and custom graphics to support the design.

The content that fills your site is an essential factor in how well your site performs and it serves many purposes:

  • Copy must be well written both for the actual human visitor and for the search bots from Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. Having a well-formatted copy with a balance of keywords is essential for high search rank.
  • Photography and imagery used must be as professional and high quality as possible. Photography is the most critical factor in good design, and the customer’s perception of your business is greatly affected by this 1 element.
  • Audio and Video and other rich media are becoming standard practice for even small business. Featuring video or audio using progressive Flash-based delivery systems adds a competitive edge to any website.
  • Custom Graphics should be an extension of the design and of your business branding. Graphics help the consumer navigate the site, and give a nice final touch to the design of a professional site.

Website Design + Build FAQs

Do you use website templates?

No. Every COLEwebdev website is a 100% custom design, with no templates or low-cost shortcuts. We design around your business’s image and branding so your site looks like your company and not like thousands of other websites, and we build it to be both beautiful and easy to use.

What is included in a website design and build project?

Design covers the look, layout, and navigation of your site, planned around your customers and the action you want them to take, whether that is buying a product, sending an inquiry, or joining your email list. Development covers everything that fills the site: well-written copy, professional photography and imagery, video or audio, and custom graphics that extend your branding.

Can you help with my logo and other branding?

Yes. Our experience in web design, user interfaces, and graphic design means we can coordinate your online and offline branding so every piece works together. Logo design, banner ads, email newsletter layouts, and images for your social media posts are all available to COLEwebdev clients.

Is my new website built with search engines in mind?

Yes. The copy on your site has to work for two audiences: the people reading it and the search engines indexing it. We write and format content with a natural balance of keywords, so your pages read well for visitors and give search engines a clear picture of what your business offers.

How much does a custom website cost?

It depends on the size of the site, the features it needs, and how much content has to be created. Our guide to the average cost of a web designer explains typical price ranges and what drives them. For a price based on your actual project, request a quote and we will put together a proposal.
