Design & Layout

Do you need a new web site or does your existing site need a makeover? WebsiteForge can help design a custom business web design – a web design made exclusively for your needs and business model.   Why is having a quality web site design  and functionality so important?   When you walk into a business within minutes of entering you decide if you are going to do business with them based your first impression. If you are like most people, you want the business to look attractive, professional and clean.   Having a quality web site design should be the same - presentation and functionality is everything. Your business web design should be attractive, professional, clean and well organized so your customer can easily navigate the website to find the information they are looking for.   And these are just some of the important elements of a successful business web site design.

Unique One-Of-A-Kind Custom Graphic Design   WebsiteForge Design Services offers you a unique, custom look and feel for your website. Designs are built just for you, specific to your requirements including colors, style and imagery with "Unlimited Revisions" until you are 100% satisfied.   Unlimited Revisions 100% Satisfaction Guarantee     Content Pages - Layout   Content is most easily defined as the text copy, images, audio, and video that make each page unique. It's the "meat" of a web page. To avoid confusion let me explain what this means to you. The Website will not contain any content or products until you provide it. Makes sense right?   Let me tell you a short story...   While posting designs back and forth to a new customer I requested he gather his content as soon as possible so that it could be added to his site. After spending about 2 weeks on his design I asked about his copy a couple more times. Finally the customer responded: "I thought you were going to do the content for me?". I explained that I am not an expert in his industry. I do not know the many important nuances that are unique to his business. It was like a light bulb moment. Once he understood that his expertise was needed to create content for his web site -- he was happy to provide it.   So please do your best to gather your web site content as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary delays in your web site development.   What is a Content Page? A content page is a page that is not created automatically by the ecommerce module which has products displayed on it. The page can be in the Menu Bar or has a link or graphic directing it to another page.   Examples of Content Pages are;   Home Page About Us Page Contact Us Page Shipping Policy Page Privacy Policy Page FAQ's Page Testimonials Page   How long can a page be? A page can be as long as you want. Typically a website page has on average on 250 words unlike a text document that has 500 words.   What can I have on a page? You can have text, images, graphics, video, audio, flash, products and pretty much anything you need.   If I need more pages what is the fee? We charge $50 per additional page/hour above and beyond the pages provided in the package you purchase or you can create "Unlimited Pages" using the "True Content Management Tool" if you do them yourself for FREE. We provide you with unlimited training and help along with online videos that walk you through every step. It's as easy as Microsoft Word.
