Why is it important to have a design that the owner really connects with? Your website is a presentation of you or your business on the web. You want your site to clearly and closely represent you and/or your business. We want the owner to really like the site so that he spends time with it and makes it a real part of the business he is doing.

What are my design options? We have found that working with Flash is extremely beneficial to your site because Flash attracts attention and holds people to your site for a few seconds longer as it educates them about what you do. Flash is functional on virtually 95% of the computers that will see your site and works across PC and MAC platforms. Sheely Websites can design a custom Flash presentation for your site. Flash can present movies and audio in an extremely surprising level of clarity with very little bandwidth. Almost anything you can imagine can be presented with Flash. Your site can contain static images or your site can incorporate motion as a part of your design. Motion attracts attention and gives the perception of high class and professionalism. Sheely Websites also offers a number of ready-to-implement web templates; however, these are merely a starting point. Any design can be changed to suit the customer’s desires and current marketing scheme.

How should designs be organized? You want to have a clear path for your visitor. You want them to have access to the information they need to get the result you want from their visit…you want their business. We can make your site design flow in an organized functional arrangement from the visitor ’s perspective. They want to always be able to call you or e-mail you without having to find the contact information. Our sites are designed to make that available the moment they decide to connect to you. You have only a split second from the time they have made that decision to have the contact information available for them to do so.

If I see a site I like, can Sheely Websites design a similar site for me? Similar…yes…same…no. Actually we believe that clearly copying from just one site is plagiarism - and is illegal. We love to work with new ideas and we especially like to work with YOUR ideas because we want each site to be personalized to your liking. If you see an idea on another website that you like, referring us to that site for the concept is feasible. We can examine the concept and make a design that will work for you based on what you like about the way it is presented there.

What does the design of my site say about me? We think the design of your site should say the following: You are…professional, successful, competent, sought after, well established, connected, and the right business for them. All these things need to be portrayed in your website even before you have them come to your place of business...if you have a brick-and-mortar business.

Do I have a limited number of design options? It is limited only by your imagination. We will take your information and create a site based on your input. We will make sure you are satisfied with the design we provide for you. Realistically, we could get very "wild" on your design; but part of the success of your profession is based on fitting someplace in the "traditional mold" that the public believes that you should fit into. For many clients, they just do not want a business that features Black Sabbath playing in the background….yes, this is an extreme example; but we try to "limit your design options" in the area that will promote professionalism and profitability for you within the high status level you have attained.

What does a personalized professional website say about me in this high-tech business world? An up-to-date site portrays an up-to-date business …and an outdated site indicates an outdated business. A bad site can actually be costing you lots of money. Clients want the latest and greatest business. Even though your business may have the best of the best, your website is the door that most people will go through or at least start to go through. You need to make sure that they are coming though the door you want them to. An outdated link or article makes you look like you do not take care of the little things…so how could you possibly be taking care of the big things - them!!! A great website today is like a great shine on your car or your shoes…it tells a lot about the real you.
