What Does Professional Web Site Design Mean?
Today, simple web programming languages and cookie-cutter web templates allow almost anyone to create a website. The question is, should they? Companies have always tried to create a connection with their customers, sometimes by using the personal touch. Unfortunately, modern internet users see scores of websites daily, and know the difference between a professional web design and a do-it-yourself site. In addition, they tend to associate the level of professionalism with the level of the quality of the goods or services offered at the site. For this reason, companies should carefully consider using professional web site design services to advertise their business.
Layout Skills
Often, web page layout determines the quality of the site. Here are a few of common amateur mistakes:
•Lack of a color palette – the colors should follow a simple, inviting palette.
•Confusing font choices – keep fonts from resembling a ransom note cut from magazines.
•Show-and-tell – keep the presentation simple. Let the customer see the product, get the information he or she needs, and have a one-click buy.
Professional Montreal custom web solutions can keep layouts fresh and on track.
Reliability
Although almost anyone can code a simple HTML web page, very few understand how to design for reliability. Web programming must deal with two potential problems. The first is the ability to deal with any and all customer input. Suppose a web app records a customer phone number in the format xxx-xxx-xxx. What happens if the customer drops the hyphens, drops a digit, or accidentally types a letter? Will the program respond gracefully and politely inform the customer of the error, or will it lock up or crash?
The second hurdle is functionality. Suppose a customer goes to all the trouble of completing an online purchase only to find that the Paypal interface is down. Does the app make the customer start again from scratch?
Reliability issues have a big impact on customer perception of the quality of the web site and of the company itself.
