What do I Need For My Web Site?

OK, so you’ve been looking at all the choices when it comes to web design, and after looking at all the options you’ve decided to go with a professional design company. There are a lot of companies and a lot of options out there for design. What is the best option? That decision can depend on what your needs are. Do you need a lot of programming, or some kind of a database? Do you need a store, the ability to sell your products online? Do you even know what you need? A professional design company can help you determine this, and the answers will determine how much you need to spend.

Many of the questions you have to ask yourself about your needs for your site are the same no matter who you decide to go with. What pages do you need in order to display all the information you are trying to get across to your viewers? Do you need to sell a product and if so how many products are you going to sell? Who is your target audience? A check list for these items might look like this –

  • Who is your target audience? Are you trying to sell to your viewers and turn them into customers or are you just trying to convey information to the audience?

  • The look of your site should be appealing to your customers – the viewers who will be most likely to use your site. It should look professional and attractive and not distract from your content. If you are selling a product you should make that obvious right from the front page so you make it easy for your customers to know what they are supposed to do.

  • What is your written content going to consist of? The subject matter for your site should be specifically written to appeal to your target audience.

  • Your site needs to be user-friendly, meaning the navigation and information you are trying to get across should be easy to understand and to use.

  • The site should be constructed in such a way as to be easily visible to the search engines as well as easily marketable.

  • Finally, if you have a store to sell from, it should be easy to use and understand – you want to make it as easy as possible for your customers to spend money with you!

Using these questions you can determine a lot about what you need in the way of a site. Looking out there on the internet you will see a lot of different prices out there. The rule of thumb for prices is – if it seems too good to be true then it probably is. HIT offers basic sites for a very low price, because we sell sites in bulk. All the designs and sites are custom. We also rely on building a long term relationship with you and making money in the long run by hosting your site. We lose money up front in order to establish a business relationship with you and invest in your site with you. We bank on your success with your site, which is why we can offer such inexpensive prices on our web sites. When you see our prices, many people think HIT Web Design is trying to scam them, but as explained above, we are able to provide inexpensive web sites due to selling in volume as well as our unique business model - investing in your site makes good business sense for us only if you are happy - so we strive to make sure our clients are not only happy, but satisfied that their website is all it possibly can be. We make sure you are aware of all the little extras that are available to you to make your website a success.

Make sure when shopping for a web site designer that they can answer the above questions and provide you with a site that is not only attractive, but meets your needs and the needs of your viewers.
