Website Redesigns

 

There are 2 kinds of websites that I work with. There is a redesign and there is a new website. Each type of website has its own unique requirements to be able to bring it to life.

 

New websites:

 

New websites are built from the ground up. This start with a domain and hosting and then moves forward with a concept. Then, the website is mapped out. After the site is mapped, the designing starts. The designing part is not completed and until a unique look is created and agreed upon. Once the basic design is completed it, it is fine-tuned and then goes live.

 

Redesigned websites:

 

Because the internet has been around for an entire generation, there are millions if not billions of websites out there that are behind the curve. I cannot tell you how many websites I come across that are good intentioned but are built around basic HTML that was only popular in 1992. In 1992, I was 11 years old and nothing that I was wearing in 1992 would I be wearing today. Website owners should feel the same away about their websites. Appearance is everything and every website needs an update to reflect the most recent decade if not the most recent year. A good website design does not get in the way of its purpose. Instead, the design supports the purpose of the website and the information in it.
