Think of it this way. Potentially, your site can
be viewed by anyone in the world sitting in front of a computer connected to the internet.
A website is an advertisement of your business on a world wide stage. How confident would
you feel about Bill Gates finding your company on the internet and arriving at a website
designed by your next door neighbour's teenage son? Poor layout with ill defined navigation and low quality graphics will decrease consumer confidence in your business. |

If you don't capture the
attention of your visitor within the first 10 seconds of their arrival at your
website, you have lost them. This is a fact. An attractive layout with easy to
use navigation and well written content will go a long way toward enticing your
visitors to spend time at your site. You are also more likely to get repeat
visitors, which can translate to an increase in sales. |

A good website design is flexible and will accommodate the growth of your
business. If you add a new product line it should not be a major operation to feature it on your site.
Ask your potential designer how the website could be adapted to new products. |
|
|
| 5. |
A well planned website will rank higher in the major
search engines than a poorly designed one. If your site is hidden somewhere on
page 16 of a search query, your company may as well not be on the internet. |
