Custom Web Sites
If you want a website that will sell your products and services as effectively as possible, you want a custom website from Artistic Web Design. We create a design that conveys your marketing message with maximum impact. From the page layout to the list of your pages to the aesthetic factors everything on your site is crafted in a way that delivers your story persuasively.
We start with a detailed interview that is designed to learn about your business and your needs in a website. We take the time to learn about your business niche, your customers and your competitive advantage. Here is a brief summary of the questions we ask:
- Your goals for your new or redesigned website
- Your current website — what's working well, what's not?
- Information about your customers — why do they buy from you? what are the demographics?
- Your market niche and your competitive advantage
- What actions do you want your website visitors to take? Are there any incentives you can offer to motivate that action?
- Your preferred visual style for the website, including colors, images, logo, menus, etc.
- Other websites that you like
Working Together To Build Your Website
From the answers to these and other questions we first create a site map—a list of your pages. We then draw some wireframes (sketches) showing possible page layouts that are designed to spotlight your calls to action. From there, we move into the aesthetic portion of the design process, creating a mockup that combines your marketing needs with the graphics and colors that will be a reflection of your business' unique character. You will have the opportunity to request changes and to participate in the design process. (For details about our process, please see our How We Work page.)
We also provide assistance with developing the content for your website. We can help you adapt existing marketing materials for the web, provide copy editing and assistance with developing a tagline, if desired.
