4 Reasons To Get Your Website Professionally Designed
We’ve all got that cousin or neighbor or friend from high school that took a few web design classes and assures you that they’ll do a great job with your website. What’s the worst that could happen? Well…everything could go wrong actually. Here’s our professional opinion on why you should really get your company website designed by someone that actually knows what they’re doing:
[success]1. Sophistication[/success]
No matter what field or industry you’re in, you want your website to be an extended representation of your company and yourself. That being said, we’re sure you can guess what people will think if your website is sloppily put together, looks dated and is hard to maneuver. Professionals will ask for your input on how you want the website to look and then they’ll make sure that it’s easy to use, has some interesting features, and most of all gets your message across.
[success]2. Quality[/success]
The quality of your website will tell prospective clients whether or not you know what you’re doing. Making sure that your website is a quality experience for users is of the utmost importance. Talk to your designer about regular updates and make sure that they are well versed in search engine website standards.

[success]3. Optimization[/success]
Speaking of search engines, if you put your website in an inexperienced person’s hands it will seriously hurt your online presence. All the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing) look for websites that live up to only the best standards and rank them according to a strict set of rules. Professional designers should be able to produce websites that not only look nice, but are functional, and will be well received by all search engines.
[success]4. Content[/success]
This is a huge part of having a successful website and letting someone who has no idea what your industry is all about litter your page with random words is a really bad move to make. Provide your designer with some basic info and remember to keep any text short and sweet – viewers aren’t going to spend time reading full pages of text. Also, content doesn’t just mean words, talk to your designer about inserting banners, pictures, and even videos.
