Website Design
When you are looking to build or redesign your business website, it is important to find a professional website design and development company and will work with you to make a website that represents your company in a manner that is understandable, trusted, and delivers new customers to your business. Website design is such a vast subject. From the moment you start designing your site to the minute, it goes live. Your design will change every time, either within those 6 months of your launch or after a few weeks because you still have many ideas flowing in that never came out while developing. The website design industry changes very frequently, so you need a partner to keep up with all the trends and news by reading articles about new techniques, plugins, or whatever makes a difference in today’s web environment. It is very easy when you are not working in this industry every day to make mistakes. We help you from making a mistake with the face of your business that most people will see first!

Why hire a professional to build your company website
A web design company can help you create a strong overall look and feel across all aspects of your online presence. The result is a professional website that represents your business well, generates leads, communicates clearly with customers, and reinforces trust in your brand. A professional website helps improve conversion rates by keeping users engaged and providing the right information at the right time to motivate visitors to take action. Business websites generally require more planning than personal sites as they need to meet the needs of multiple stakeholders within an organization. Our site design team works closely with clients to make sure everyone who uses or supports your site understands how it works – from salespeople to customer service representatives to SEO professionals to executives. We manage all of the edits for you. Professional business websites require more knowledge today than ever before. You manage your business and we manage the site for you.
What separates one web agency from another?
The biggest differentiator is in the planning. You want a reliable partner who can help you plan, develop and manage your site like an online asset to your business. This is not a typical marketing company. We employ professional website developers. We walk you through dos and don’ts.

Web Development
The First Thing You Should Design:
The best thing you can do for yourself before starting any website design project is to plan what are you going to do with this website. Simple questions like “why am I building it?”, “what does my client want from me?”, “what does he expect me to deliver?”, “how much time will it take me to develop it?”, “When do I want to launch it?” and many others might help you when you get down designing your website. For example, if the client wants something simple with a lot of pictures, then you have the freedom to come up with very different layouts as opposed to someone who’s starting a new business and needs a professional-looking site that’ll take him just 3 months to finish, but need some major programming work.
There are tons of websites out there offering free templates for WordPress or other CMS systems in which you can build your website. There are also many premium paid templates on popular marketplace sites like Themeforest or Graphicriver (the first one costs about $20 and the second one is free). We’ve built thousands of websites and I do not recommend using any of these. When you purchase a theme, you are depending on that company to remain current on everything related to the internet. That rarely happens.
We use WordPress as nearly 40% of all websites in the world use this platform. However, we build them from scratch and use as few plugins as possible. We want to make sure that your website is built for the long haul.
Is there a difference between web design and website design?
There most definitely is!
The first thing I want you to understand is that web design and the website design are two separate things.
Web design is the visual aspect of your site, so the look and feel of it. Website design is actually the entire site, from top to bottom – which includes your logo (or your company’s logo), what colors or themes will be used on the site, how user-friendly it will be – this part includes the functionality. For example; if you need a login section for customers to access their account information, then that’s where your programmer would work hard at getting all that completed within the time frame promised and exceed expectations. If you’re just putting up a business card online with photos and some text, then that’s where your web designer will get to work.
Also, understand that web design and website design are two different things that should be handled by professionals in each field.

A professional site that will work for search engines and people properly requires an investment. The reality is that many people can produce we website using tools and builders that are available. The difference is that most of the sites will never be seen. There are about 2 billion websites and less than 400 million are active. Less than 6% will be seen or create revenue for the owner or see the first page of Google.
- 90.63% of pages get no organic search traffic from Google.
- The top-ranking page gets the most search traffic only 49% of the time.
- 25.02% of top-ranking pages don’t have a meta description. (Ahrefs)
- Only 5.7% of pages will rank in the top 10 search results within a year of publication. (Ahrefs)
- 66.31% of pages have no backlinks.
- The average cost of buying a link is $361.44.
Responsive Web Design
(RWD) is an approach to web design aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing and interaction experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones).
Responsive web design accommodates…web visitors using large or small devices like desktops, tablets, or smartphones.
In other words, responsive web design allows your website to be viewed from any device that has internet connectivity. So no matter what type of device the potential customers are viewing your site on – PC/laptop, phones, or tablets – it will have the same look and feel as if they were viewing it directly on their laptop, desktops, or tablets.
Responsive web design is not just one-size-fits-all. It’s actually a framework that allows you to add responsive components as needed to fit your need while creating a fluid and seamless environment for your visitor. The site will work seamlessly with the logic using CSS3 media queries which are supported in all modern browsers today.
It is important to understand that there are many ways RWD can be implemented but they all adhere to these basic principles:
How Responsive Web Design Works
RWD works by changing the layout of a page based on screen size using CSS media queries. Essentially, it allows you to have multiple designs for one website and at any time, the browser will serve up an appropriate layout depending on what device is being used to view the site. This eliminates the need for developing a different version of your site per device or completely rewriting it every time a new platform reaches the market.
Responsive web design makes use of CSS3 Media Queries that enable us to target specific devices such as iPads or iPhones, desktop computers, laptops, netbooks, and other handheld devices like smartphones. There are 294 million mobile phone users in USA and over 2 billion Internet users.
How to design a Responsive Web Design?
It is however important that you keep in mind that not all devices respond the same so it’s crucial to make sure the content is readable for all devices using these few simple steps:
Get your hands on compatible browsers.
Browser support wasn’t much of an issue several years ago, but now with mobile browsing in full swing, it’s more critical than ever to make sure your site works well across as many browsers and platforms (including phones) as possible. While most modern desktop or laptop computers will be able to display sites designed with responsive web design, there still may be instances where someone accesses your site via a mobile phone browser—this could be someone using a phone to check email or view your site for directions.
You may also be accessing the web on a tablet, like an iPad or Galaxy Tab. For best results, responsive design requires some tweaking–smaller font sizes and simplified navigation—because touch screen devices aren’t as precise as a mouse pointer.
This means you should test your site across multiple browsers on different operating systems, and even widely used mobile platforms such as iOS (for iPhones) and Android OS (for smartphones).
A.D.A. Website Compliance | Website accessibility
Website accessibility is not the same thing as web accessibility.
Website accessibility is part of web accessibility and addresses a variety of concerns, such as:
- usability – how easy it is to navigate through a website; to find information; make transactions.
- ease of use – how easy it is to use a website’s features and functions, including their consistency, efficiency, visibility and error prevention, and recover ability
The main focus of accessibility is on users who have disabilities. However, all users benefit from making the user interface used for as many people as possible.
Accessibility Also Means
All users benefit from making the user interface used for as many people as possible. The user interface is the set of controls and displays that you use to interact with a computer, mobile device, or website. It includes such elements as keyboard shortcuts; screen layouts; colors and contrast levels; sounds (such as error beeps); features and functions (such as forms); and device-specific elements. When designing a website, it is important to consider how its features, functions, and user interface can be accessed by users with disabilities.
For Example:
you might provide screen reader compatibility for your website’s navigation. A screen reader provides audible cues that describe the relationships between the elements (such as links and images) on a web page. Screen readers use the WAI-ARIA web standard to describe these relationships.
- when you build forms, ensure that they can be completed using the keyboard only, without requiring users to select from drop-down lists; or use other devices (such as a pointing stick or touchpad) to interact with a form. This type of web-based data collection is called the alternative input method. The WCAG 2.0 guidelines list some common examples, such as scanning a QR code using an on-screen reader.
- you might also provide keyboard shortcuts for features and functions that are available on the website.
- For example, if you build a shopping cart that allows users to select shipping options (such as first-class mail or overnight delivery) use keyboard shortcuts for these options instead of having a drop-down menu for them–this makes it easier to use the site and fill out forms using only the keyboard.
This WCAG 2.0 success criterion (1.4.2) states that:
1.4.2 User Interface Components and Navigation
All functionality of the content is operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes, except where the underlying function requires input that depends on the path of the user’s movement and not just the endpoints.
(Level A)
A user interface component is a piece of Web content that displays something or enables some kind of interaction. Examples are form fields (text boxes, drop-down menus), links (to other pages or to resources such as style sheets), and programmatic objects (scripts). Here are examples of user interface components that must satisfy this criterion:
- links that open in a new window or tab, such as the Submit and Reset buttons on many form pages.
- dynamically updated Web content where information changes often (e.g., stock tickers); or where the Web page updates automatically without requiring the user to reload the page (e.g., weather, traffic);
- form fields that change as the user types in information; or when a script validates input data.
- a pop-up menu activated by clicking or pointing on a Web page element, and controlled via keystrokes combinations such as Alt+(letter) to open the menu and then (letter) to select an option; and
- a form control that is implemented via an API such as HTML5’s input types. For example, if an Image Control ( <input type=”image”> ) element has its src attribute set to the name of another image file, you must ensure it can be activated using keystrokes.
Although a piece of content might satisfy this criterion, the structure itself can interfere with users who access it. For example:
- A link is missing text that describes how to activate it (e.g., the target attribute on some links). When a user moves focus to such a link, they must guess which keystroke combination will activate it.
- A set of Web pages is accessed using a link on page A that opens a new window and then redirects the user to some other destination (e.g., a site search or another page). If the new page is not validated as conforming to this WCAG 2.0 success criterion, keystrokes such as Tab, arrow keys, and other navigation features won’t work correctly. For example:
