Website design serviceor "sometimes less is more" |

So you would like to have a killer website just like the ones you have seen on the Net? Good; but you don't know how to do it? Do not worry as help is at hand. Have you ever noticed how computer programmers and web designers think that the more features they manage to put into a program or website design, the better? Their technological minds think that the more they put into a program or page, the better their ability and capacity is demonstrated and their design will be more appreciated by visitors.
In reality this, of course, is not true. While it is good to look at a well designed site full of nice graphics and images, especially if in motion, the sad reality of facts is that most of the people on the Net pay their bills being charged by time and they don't like (or can't afford) to stay on for minutes waiting for pages to download. Yes, we all like to be dazzled by nice coloured graphics, but who is left to foot the bill? Surely not the designer of the site.
The nitty gritty reality of life is that, often, we cannot do what we like but we must do what it is required. And what people accessing websites require is good, useful information at high speed. Until a new system is developed, unfortunately graphics and speed don't go together. Designers must be respectful of visitors' time and wallets.The only sensible way to incorporate some useful graphics into a site is to give it on demand. In this way the graphics are there and if the punter asks for them, they will be delivered. Otherwise the pages should be complete and well balanced even if visitors decide not to loose minutes (and money) waiting the time necessary for the illustrations to download.
Somebody (Steve Jobs) once said that "simplicity is the ultimate sofistication". Programmers have great minds but they cannot understand that other people are not like them. They simply can't imagine that most of the inhabitants of this world are not like them but have simpler minds and requirements than theirs. So programmers and computer nerds are the last people you should ask or allow to design and write a program for your Great New Website. For that you need somebody with his feet on the ground, somebody who is in touch with reality and is also a websurfer who pays his bills (many access the Net at the office). That is why, if you need somebody to design your website, you need us. We understand your problems and those of your visitors. We pay our bills and we would like you to pay yours too!
We are also cheap. Because we don't need to write fancy code to impress you and your visitors we take less time to dream up and design your website and therefore charge less. If you would like to have a simple, good, useful website, one which people will like to visit and come back to, you need our service. We will design and upload your site (a front page menu plus three pages) for just £50.00 inclusive. Just send us the text (and pictures, but we can supply them if you wish) that you would like to appear on your site and we will do the rest. We will also supply all the practical necessary information on how to upload and maintain your site but if you think you can't do it by yourself, we will do it for you.
