There is a lot more to designing a Web site than simply putting some graphics and text together with an HTML editor and adding the resulting pages to your directory at your Internet Service Provider's server farm. Many sites fail through a lack of planning, teamwork, and attention to detail.   

Cyberkon Consulting brings a wealth of Web site design skills to you with our personal attention to building an award-winning site that targets your audience and keeps them coming back for more. In order to help you out a bit, we've added some pages about the design process that you can use in your own marketing strategy. The information presented can help you to to design a site on your own, if you prefer, but we are always ready to consult with you for those areas that you may have difficulty with.    

If our pages are enough to help you do what you need, please let us know how they were helpful to you, and what we might be able to do to make them better.   

Web site design consists of a mixture of text, images, and layout. No two sites are the same, and there is a wide variety of quality on the Web. While you might like to use some of the elements you have found on other sites, you also want yours to be very distinctive, something that your clientele will remember.   

We bring a combination of high-quality writing skills, graphics, layout and design skills to the table, and combine them into appealing, effective Web sites that represent the character and quality of your business or other interests.   

There are a lot of sites that have a wide range of "bells and whistles", such as Java applets, animated graphics, and very complicated images. While these can combine to build a wonderful virtual place to enjoy, they can often overwhelm the typical home user's computer system. While we can certainly build this kind of site, we would caution you that people will often not wait long enough for the site to download into their system for viewing. A simple, appealing design can be much more effective in meeting your needs.   

One of the best ways for you to see what we can do for you is to show you a few of the page sets we have designed for other people and companies.   

Important Things to Remember

Good business Web site design is a team approach. There are very few people who can bring all of the elements of this process together and have an award-winning site come out of their efforts. Some people are excellent writers, but can't produce artwork, and quality artists are not necessarily good writers.

A well structured site is organized in a way that helps future maintainers update it quickly and easily. The less hunting through the site to find design and text elements, the more effective your site will be.

Be realistic in your expectations. A Web site will not bring people flocking to your door right away. Invest enough time and money to build a content-rich site that has visual and emotional appeal to your target audience. Announce the site as widely as possible in as many search engines as you can find. Then sit back and wait several months before you decide whether all of this has been worth it or not. (It takes time to learn whether or not your site is attracting the people you hoped it would, and whether or not your presentation is having its desired effect.)

Invite your visitors' reactions to your site's design and content. When someone takes the time to comment and make suggestions, be gracious. Send them a return e-mail thanking them for their time and assistance. These are some of your best guides as to the improvements you should make to your site, and they will help bring more people to your site if you are kind to them.
