Homepage >> Consider This


WebTech would like to help you when considering a website for you or your company.
We have given you 5 points of consideration when trying to determine what you need in your website for content, graphics, and architecture.

WebTech will take your current website to a new level, or design a site from conception to completion. Please call us for a free consultation at : 512.845.4047 or fill out a "request a Quote" form and send it to us.

1. Don't design your website for your needs, design it around your customers needs.

  Think about this when designing your site:

           Solving your customer's problems is the only reason your web site exists.

  1. Is your web site solving any problems your customers might have.
  2. Is the navigation of the web site easy to maneuver.
  3. Are you designing your site to give your customer/potential clients the tools needed to do business with your company.

   Remember:

  1. Your customers want/need information
  2. Your customers want/need to make a purchase.
  3. Your customers want/need to communicate with you without picking up their phone.

2. Failure to successfully navigate your web site.

  1. Do they know where they are.
  2. Do they know where they've been.
  3. Do they no where to go next.
  4. Can they easily get back to the home page.

3. Too much material on one page.

  1. Can your customer see what's important for them and your company in a few seconds.
  2. Can your customer see what direction they should head within seconds of viewing your home page.

                Four seconds have now passed since you read line #1.

                If they haven't found what their looking for by now, REDESIGN!!!!

                If they haven't found what there looking for in 20-30 sec., ...You lost Business!!!

          Ok, we'll assume they found the page that has what their looking for:

  1. Did they find the answer/solution in the first few lines of content on that page yes/no.
  2. Scrolling - have they found it yet, yes/no.
  3. Scrolling
  4. Scrolling - Ok, maybe your keeping them interested...
  5. Scrolling - their Getting tired...minds are starting to wander.
  6. Scrolling - To much of the same thing...
  7. Scrolling -
  8. Scrolling -
  9. Scrolling - Now their trying to remember what they where looking for.
  10. There is no 10, you lost them, Their Gone, History.... You lost Business!!!

          Seriously folks, you will loose them.  Simple = good navigation!

          A clean and professional design = trust. "they look like they know what their doing"

          This = business for you!!!

4. Misusing Flash.

  1. Your watching the flash introduction,
  2. Still Watching the flash introduction,
  3. Still Watching the flash introduction,
  4. Still Watching the flash introduction,
  5. Still Watching the flash introduction,....Ok, enough said...You lost business!!!

6. You saved money on your web site.  Was that the right thing to do?    

 examples of what not to waste your money on...

 

Seen enough, unfortunately for these companies, they NOW could probably use the money they spent on these sites from the lack of business they brought in!!

It's so important you understand your site is representing your business and who you are on the internet. Sites are looking better every day and chances are your competitor has a professionally designed website your going to have to compete with.

Ask yourself, Who exactly are you building your website for???

To sum up "Consider This", If you don't hire WebTech to build your website, please hire someone that knows what they are doing. When you pick up the phone and start talking to web designers, ask questions, look at there work, talk to there clients. Do they know anything about marketing your product/services online, and possibly the most important thing once you've established they can design a website,... do they understand what your customers/clients need your website to provide them in order to do business with you!!! This is where 90% of all website fail.

It's going to cost you good money to have a good design company design your website. It takes time to create a design that will work for you, it's not all about graphics. It takes time to research your nitch in the internet market and design your website to succeed.

Today's internet browsers are savvy to Cookie Cuter and do-it-your-self websites. This is telling them you and your company do things half way. The consumers on the internet today will not waste another second on your site let alone purchase something from you hoping you will back your products & services.

Today's web designer needs to know quite a bit more than how to design graphics in Adobe Photoshop, and throw it together in Dreamweaver.

A good web designer is an artist, internet marketing expert, understands the
demographics of the internet and the habits of the internet consumer.

Is Your Website the Weakest Link?
