Website Design Process

With Alco Web Design, designing a small business website is easy. But like with any construction project, you need to have a clear picture of what you want to build before starting the work.
 
A good looking website enhances your image, increases your visibility, and drives new business. A well designed website is not an expense but a smart investment. If you are busy, take the time to do it right the first time.

Golden rule
No matter how good your website designer is, he knows very little about your business. Your input is VERY critical to the success of your website. Be EXTREMELY concerned about the results if you are not deeply involved with the design of your website.

Website design process
At Alco Web Design, we make it simple. You tell us what you want, you provide us with your texts and pictures, and we put your website together and post it on the internet.

Website pictures, logos, artwork
Save time and money by scanning printed documents you might already have. Take your own pictures or use royalty free pictures from Microsoft. Visit our partner Scott Alberts for outstanding illustrations and logos.

Type of website
Take the time to clearly identify the purpose of your website. What is it for? Who is the audience? Do you want to keep in touch with existing customers, attract new ones, provide information, sell on-line?

Website overall look
What do you want your website to look like? Is there something on the Internet you like? How do big companies with unlimited budgets do? How do your competitors do? See our website models pages for ideas. Don't copy the work of others, do better!

What web pages are needed?
Your main page will be used to provide a quick snap shot of your business and of your website. Your about us page will provide detailed information about your company. What other pages will you have?

Web page layout
Keeping your page layout consistent will help visitors finding what they need. How will they navigate from page to page? Keep it simple, make it easy. See our Website Layout page for ideas.

Web pages text
A useful and content rich website will convince your visitors about the seriousness of your business. Plan ahead and don't make your content an after fact. Work and rework the text of your pages. See our Website Content page for ideas.
