North Shore Web Design offers website design as one of its services. The design of your website should be carefully thought out. There are many factors to consider when creating a website. For example, what colors should your site incorporate? What fonts should you use? Your website design should reflect your company's image as a whole. If your company or business has business cards and stationay with green and yellow as its primary colors, then those colors should be carried over into your website. This way people will associate the colors to your business. Case in point, when you think "Brown" what do you think of? UPS. Effective marketing to say the least.

North Shore Web Design uses current technology and web standards (eg. XHTML, CSS, etc) when designing websites. We believe your site should function in the most popular browsers (eg IE, AOL, Mozilla, etc) and should be viewable on different screen resolutions (eg. 600X800, 1024X768, 1152X864, etc).

It is important that your site be designed to be informative and compelling. It must be compatible with browser versions. It must load quickly. The last thing you want to do is send potential customers away. As you develop content for your site, try to think of all the information you would pass on to a customer and put it on your site.

Things To Do

• Write notes while you brainstorm, including thoughts and ideas of how you want your site to look and feel.
• Make an outline of your needs (e.g. target audience, salable merchandise, etc) followed by writing all the details.
• Organize folders in which you add and keep information and materials for your Web site:
  • a physical folder with photos, brochures, company logo, written materials.
  • a directory folder on your computer with text for your Web site, digitized photos, images, logos, and other pertinent information.
• Look at as many Web sites as you can that are related to your business in some way. This will not only help you see what your competition has going and an overall perspective of Web sites in general, it will also help you brainstorm for your own site. Make note of the following: Web sites that you like and why, Web sites that you don't like and why not, (Look at things such as colors, fonts, graphics, navigation, etc)
• Any Web sites that have elements that you like, such as colors, navigation, overall layout, the type of content and how it's presented.
