DESIGN SAMPLES

Naturally, web design is important for a website to succeed; however, web design will always be subjective - if we all thought the same, we'd all be driving the same color car and eating at the same restaurant. Fortunately, differences and choice abound, which brings us to the concept of web design.

Web development and web design involves the marriage of publishing, user interface and technology. The four main activities a visitor will perform once they've reached your website are reading text, viewing images, interacting with the interface and possibly buying online. The goal(s) of your web site should dictate your websites overall look and feel. For example, you would design a Corporate Financial site differently than you would a site for Children's Educational Toys, which brings us to our next point: Website Design with Your Audience in Mind.

In order to do this, you must know who your website audience is and what they expect. That said, among hard core web surfers and newbies, there are certain "usability guidelines they expect to be followed as a result of spending time on the Internet, for example:

The Back button is located in the upper left corner - on most sites
Text links are highlighted in blue or purple - on most sites
Music or unexpected noises are most welcome on music or unexpected noise websites

As a famous person once said, "People don't go to the FedEx web site to be entertained any more than they go to a FedEx office to be entertained." - Henri de Toulouse-La Tech

It is the responsibility of the professional web designers at Leading Website Designs' to find out who your target audience is, what they expect from you and your website and to crystallize that information into a winning website that will help you achieve your goal(s). We do this vis-a-vis the use of custom web design or through the use of professional website design samples with usability features already built into them: whichever you choose, we promise you a website and design that will garner compliments, positive conversation and converted traffic.
