Website Design

Website design is a term that is often misinterpreted.  The term is often used to describe everything involved in building a website or at the other extreme just to descibe the way a website looks.  Website design encompasses the user experience when they visit a website.  The look of the website is obviously an importantpart, as are colours, layout, photographs, function, and content.  These elements all come together to shape the design of the website.  A web designer must have a good understanding of all these elements, and how they can be translated into an html based web page.  At 3internet you will find an expert design team ready to design your website in the way you want it to work.

It is worth noting that web design is a different skill to web programming which deals with the code to construct the dynamic functionality of a website.  Web design requires the use of Html and Css code but not necessarily any programming skills.  3internet always uses specialists in each area to ensure you get the best possible website as a result.

Website design is a skill that should not be overlooked, but unfortunately often is.  It is a skill that needs to be learnt but also requires a certain natural flair.  Good web design will set your website apart from your competitors, bad design will scare of your potential new customers.

Good design involves taking the time to understand the image that your business is trying to project to visitors of your website.  A design that is great for a advertising agency is likely to be completely inappropriate for a law firm.  As part of the design process we first spend the time to understand your goals.  The amount of time we can spend with you on the design phase of a project depends on your budget and your goals.  We will be happy deliver a design package to fit your budget.

With a range of tools available to make building a website easier, it fair to say anyone can "build" a small website within a few hours.  Many small businesses websites make the mistake of thinking this is enough.  It will not create the professional impression required, and any design process will often be forgotten.  The process of good design is a skill.

We believe your website should act as an extra sales person for your business.  You wouldn't want a sales person go to an important meeting dressed inappropriately, they'd create the wrong impression.  Ensure your website creates the right impression, come and speak to 3internet about your Website design.
