1. You shouldn’t be too ‘creative’ with the text and design. Too many times clientele think that the right way to catch a person’s eye is to have bright contrasting colors, crazy elaborate backgrounds, and glittery flashing letters. On top of that, we’ve seen all kinds of creative wording centered around a particular niche. For example a business catering to dogs might place their “about page” under the heading “dog pound.” This is absolutely the wrong way to go about design.  Web users go to websites to get information, not a theatrical show, and much of the time they’ll be new to your brand and corporate speak.

Before we get to the pricing, I want to ask you… do you think you need a website?
