I want to understand what aspects of a web design are most important for somebody who is looking to hire help, I am a web designer. Below I have included a list, and I would value if you number what you care the most in order of importance, and if what you care about, is not listed, please include this in your response:

 

cross browser compatible web design

fluid web design: a design that fits the screen as the size of the browser window changes

search engine optimized web design

flexibility from the designer: the potential client can request to use a third party pre built template

Creativity: the designer can come up with flashy and snazzy designs

Laurie333,

 

Thank you for your response

Laughing

 

Do any of the items you listed have a higher priority than the ones I suggested?  

 

I see that the order of items in your list is the same as mine. Would it be possible for you to confirm that this is endeed the order of what would be important to you? And if not, could you cut and paste and number the top three?

Tongue out

 

Again, thank you

magneto1, you post a poor response. Your response is generic, too broad. The purpose of this question is to narrow down what elements of web design are important for a person who is looking to hire this service.

I think that web design that attracts visitors goes without saying.

Your response would be improve if you wrote what elements you think convert visitors into leads.

Thank you

According to me there are lots of small and big points important to discuss about web design but you must make your design perspective of your users. Because build any website, their main goal to attract potential visitors of their site for more selling.

It is revealing to read responses that include content as part of the web design. I interpret this to mean that many internet users do not understand the difference between the content and the design. 

It is almost as if the thinking process is stuck in the desired results, but little thought goes to brake up the elements that may help achieve this result.

We are an Atlanta web design company, and the reason people tell us they go with us is because they can get us on the phone.  So the #1 priority for me would be to answer the phone when someone calls.

It is said that content is the king in web designing so you should prepare content for your website which is relevant and of good quality. You website should also be visually attractive and should have good navigation abilities so that viewers do not face any problem while going through your website and visit it again and again.

A website is not just for online presence, it is an effective tool for branding, advertising and setting reputation for your business. When people would like to have an product or service, they definitely would like to get information about that, so when you design website for your client you are responsible for three people-

1. The user(end user) who is going to visit that website can easily get his/her desired from this website; in short usability.

2. Your Client : Does your client getting good online leads through the website you designed for them, Did you integrated business effectively, is it search engine friendly! etc.

3. Yourself : You have to do value addition for yourself too, your work should be appreciable and recommendable.

  What you people say?
