web design

An effective website is a natural extension of your communications plan. A compelling site is structured, easy to use and informative as well as attractive. By Design's web design services and techniques will enrich your website and convey your message in a clear and appealing way.

Before we start the web design process, there are a number of things you need to consider:

• The goals for your website.
• The message you want to convey.
• Who will be your audience.
• The structure and content of your website.
• How you will draw people to your website.
• How you will maintain your website.
• How you will evaluate the effectiveness of your site.

By Design web plans are based on your input. We begin by articulating the goals of your website, prioritizing audiences, and tailoring messages to convey your mission to those audiences. We take your organizational objectives and communications strategies and help you translate these goals to an outline for an effective site.

We can create a website design using existing logos and materials that carry your branding, colors, and messaging or develop a totally new look for your website.

We view the planning process not only in terms of creating a new site, but also the ongoing importance of maintaining and renewing the contents of the site.

Turning your plan into an actual website can vary in cost. We will work with you to both meet your goals and stay within your budget. Call us for an estimate.
