Looking for a Darwin Website Designer?

Which website design and which  website designer is best for you?

Of course a lot depends on what you need your website for. The demands of Charles Darwin University or an NT government department will be very different from those of a small business or someone simply wanting to earn some extra income online.

And not everyone can afford two or three full time web designers to build and maintain their website, and then support it with massive advertising in the local media and inter-departmental links.

So lets just talk about the web needs of small business, individual marketers, local not-for-profit organizations and the like.

What do you need from your Darwin website designer?

Let me put that another way

If you were setting up a retail shop you would need to;

• decide on the location,
• design and register a business name,
• design a stock control system,
• set up the accounting,
• provide marketing research,
• provide security,
• and......etc, etc,

There is much more to a retail business than just some good signwriting.

Now to translate this to a website;

There is much more to a successful website than tossing around a few ideas and knocking up some flash graphics.

The internet is full of nice looking websites which no-one visits because they have been poorly researched and constructed.

• How will visitors find your site?
• What domain name should be used?
• What keywords should be used?
• Who will control search engine submissions?
• How will it be optimised for search engines?
• How many links from other websites will it need?
• How do you set up a newsletter?
• Is a blogg provided to support the site?
• do you need RSS on site?
• and.....etc etc??
• and then who will provide hosting, backup and ongoing changes & updates?

Whether you build your own website, or have someone build it for you, understanding this process is the key to success.

Remember, if no one sees your site, it will not matter how pretty the graphics are.

The first responsibility of good website design is to research and design the site so it will get listed well in the search engines and attract visitors who are interested in your information or products.

Good research is critical to the success of a website, it must be designed to fit with how people actually use the search engines. It is not good enough to assume or guess how potential customers might search for your website.
