Even though quality cannot be defined,
you know what quality is.
~Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Designing is simple. We all become designers when we're old enough to hold a crayon and bold enough to draw outside the lines. Designing for the Web is another animal altogether.
Good website design requires knowledge, experience and skills in a number of disciplines including:
- Graphic Design (layout, graphics, colors...)
- Marketing (messages, branding, placement...)
- Web Design & Development (functionality, simple maintenance...)
At Cold Spring Design, we've been working with small businesses since 1996 and designing for the Web since 1999. We take the time to learn what your business and marketing strategies are before designing your website. With over a hundred clients and many years in the business, we've had a chance to see what works and what doesn't.
The Web presents a massively different environment than print media. Websites have to cater to search engines as well as human visitors. They should be accessible to individuals with sight and other physical disabilities and should be easily maintained. With the advent of Web 2.0, websites have also become networking tools, service providers and lightweight business applications.
A website can be an online brochure or it can be a massively functional networking tool and application. Which one is right for you? Call us at 508.865.5191 and let's figure it out together.
