Why Design a Website for your Business

Why Design a Website for your Business

Q: My business is very small, just me and two employees, and our product really can’t be sold online. Do I really need a website? A: That’s a good question. In fact, it’s one of the most important and most frequently asked questions of the digital business age. Before I answer, however, let’s flash back to the very first time I was asked this question. It was circa 1998, during the toddler years of the internet. So should your business have a website, even if your business is small and sells products or services you don’t think can be sold online?  The answer is: ABSOLUTELY Yes, if you have a business, you should have a website.

Top Web Design Trends for Nashville Businesses

  JLB, a Nashville, Brentwood and Franklin Tn Web Design and Web Services firm highlights the top trends of 2014 This week, we have taken it upon ourselves to outline and explain the most important trends in web design for 2014. The consensus among website design professionals, regarding industry trends for 2014, is fairly cut and dry and most agree the significant styles for the year will likely fall under the headings of responsive design, simple design and storytelling design. 3) Storytelling Web Design: this methodology suggests that users are told a story through concise, compelling copy coupled with strong imagery as they scroll down the page. Another way to say it? MAKE. IT. FUN. Let them discover who you/your company are by letting it unfold before their eyes, so to speak. Let them start where you did and fast-track them to how you arrived at a solution. Gone are the days of “I am so great” over and over again – in every nook and cranny of your site. (At least we hope it will be after reading this.) Imagine scrolling down to the bottom of a website page, where the process unfolds like a fairy tale, or an evolution of sorts. Set a goal/challenge your designer, with something like this: “I want new visitors to be able to move down from the top of the page to the bottom in 30 seconds and have a crystal clear idea of who we are and what we do. And for repeat visitors, I want them to easily identify where to go to make a purchase, or visit our blog,...
