| Our Design Process:
Review Pros/Cons of
Existing Site:
If you are converting an existing site, then there
very well may be content that you wish to keep (photographs, text,
etc..). We would review your existing site with you, and keep
the material you like.
Navigation - Your site should be easy to
navigate and you should control where you want your visitors to go
first.
Logos - A logo should stand out and tell something
about your business.
Text - Should grab your customer and keep them
interested.
Key Words - Should be placed
throughout the site in such away that it will increase your ranking
with the search engines.
Design - Should be pleasing to the eye and interesting to the
visitor.
Site Colors/Style
How Colors Effect Our Emotions?
One of the most interesting things to me is how
colors effect the way we think and feel. They effect us whether we
are aware of it or not. Some colors effect us more then others but
they all have their own individual properties that effect the way
people feel.
All colors don't effect all people in the same ways, however, there
have been extensive studies done that show how colors effect the
majority of people in the same ways. As with all rules, there are
exceptions, but to ignore the power of colors would be to ignore an
essential element of a good website design.
Another extremely important element to colors is not only the
properties or emotions each color conjures up in each of us, but
also how combinations of colors make people feel. And to further
complicate your perfect color selection you also have to be
concerned with the fact that people have to be able to read your
content or the most beautiful color in the world will be for
nothing. No matter how important the content on your site may be to
someone, if they can't read it due to bad color selection they will
leave in search of another site to serve their needs.
Here are only a few colors and what emotions have been shown to be
raised with each.
|
|
Green
jealousy, good luck, and harmony
Blue
calming, peaceful and builds trust
Red
color of action, anger, Love, impulse and impatient
Purple
nobility, spirituality and creativity, passion
White pure color, innocent
and clean
Black serious, mysterious, mournful and lifeless
Yellow
happy, cheerful and joy
Orange
positive, enthusiastic and warmth

People believe you can even see colors in music,
one thing is for sure though, colors cause a physical and emotional
reaction in each of us. Colors can cause headaches, sickness,
relaxation, pleasure, tension, passion, peacefulness or irritation.
There are literally hundreds of sites dedicated to the research and
insight into colors and the reactions they cause in the people
viewing them. We'd suggest that you do as much research into this
area of your website as you can stand as in the long run it will pay
off in sales or return visits to your site.
Client New Site Q&A Form:
This is a simple, straight forward form that you
can complete on-line in about 30 minutes. You do not have to
complete it all. Information can be provided down the road...
unlike a printing project, web sites are liquid, and as such can be
changed/updated at any time.
