Recent trends in Website design has brought out some old ideas – as well as new ones. It really does show that there is almost no limit to what can be done when it comes to being creative and original in Web design. It also shows that the limits of Web design have not seen it all, either.

A recent trend is the use of what is called Letterpress. It has been rare up until this point but seems to be becoming more and more popular – perhaps because it is currently unique in the online world.

Letterpress is actually the original style of print. It is the type that was used in the original Gutenburg Press, which consisted of raised lettering on a plate. The ink was applied directly to the raised letters and then impressed on the paper – leaving the printed page. It would also leave an indentation in the paper, allowing the depth to create a shadow around the lettering. It is especially impressive on documents such as invitations, announcements, etc.

While it does seem to be widely used for various topics, it seems that it is mostly seen on sites with E-Commerce Web design. It is becoming especially popular on sites for product designs and on Websites that advertise some kind of online services.

Don’t Forget the Small Design Issues and Text

Filed under: Don't Forget the Small Design Issues and Text, Web Design — Baytech Web Design @ 12:38 am

While you are testing everything, you really do not want to assume that anything can be left on your page without testing it, too, to see if better results might be possible. After all, it may be the small things about your Website design that are keeping you from the best results you want.

Even the words you use on your buttons need to be tested to see which ones work up to your expectation. Good Web design should not be left up to what someone thinks looks good because your business success may actually depend on it. Many businesses have found it to be true and now do nothing without extensive testing on every page – especially those requiring some form of interaction.

As you test everything, you want to be open to all possibilities in order to produce the quality E-Commerce Web Design needed. This means that nothing should be excluded. Be a little daring and venture out into the unknown with even some potentially wild ideas – you never know until it is tested. Keep it, though, within the limits of your brand.

After you have tested and eliminated features on your Web page, you then want to combine them – one at a time – and retest to see how the new combination works. It is possible that a new combination of small things could result in a difference of over 60% more people clicking or ROI! With such high numbers at stake – can you afford to leave the necessary testing undone?

Baytech Web Design can provide quality Web design for your company and do the testing, too. We know what it takes to help your Website become visible and profitable. Talk to us today and let’s get started on building your successful business.

Rich User Interface

Filed under: Design & Branding, Rich User Interface — Baytech Web Design @ 10:28 am

Website design has recently gone through a good change when they start to become more user friendly. The use of a Rich User Interface is slowly becoming more evident, especially in E-Commerce Web design.

When Rich User Interface is used on a Website, it is refreshingly different and visitors are apt to notice the difference in Web design right away. Although it has been promised for a long time, it seems that the day of its arrival has come.

The applications that provide the new enhanced user interactivity are much better developed and can really make a difference between an ordinary Web design and a quality Web design. The bells and whistles that programs like AJAX, Flash, and many more, now provide users with give them a much more pleasant experience on a particular Webpage.

Instead of the old-fashioned static approach, there now are many options that allow developers to put their Webpage light years ahead of their competitors. So much more can be done with these tools to enhance the beauty, usefulness, and interactivity of a Webpage that a designer needs to consider between many possibilities. Not only is it more eye appealing, but the changing colors of buttons when pressed, the boxes that enlarge on mouse overs, identifying tags, etc., all work together to make a visitor feel more at home.

Another good thing is that more Websites are taking advantage of is less crowded Web pages. There’s more white space which gives it a more relaxed and inviting look – causing people to want to stay longer.

Check These Features for Maximum Webpage Performance

Filed under: Check These Features for Maximum Webpage Performance, Web Design — Baytech Web Design @ 12:42 am

Testing your Website design and landing pages for peak performance will require that you test just about every feature. You do not want to assume that any well-worn phrases are OK until you have actually tested them. It is quite possible that the simplest phrase – even ones that you find on successful Web pages – may not be the best ones to use.

By testing each phrase – especially ones that direct people to do something – such as Start Here, Sign Up Now, etc., you can develop the successful Website structure you need that will bring you the most action. Use split testing so that you have a control, and only change one or two things at a time to test. This way, you will know exactly what brought about the changes in response.

Identify each possible change and then work on them one by one in each section until all is tested. Then test the best features in each section with other best features. This will give you a fully optimized Web page design. Do the same thing with pictures, graphics, etc., until you get the best possible results.

At the end of your testing of each page, you should have a finished E-Commerce Web design that will work powerfully for you. Test each aspect of the design but use short tests until you can see a clear difference in performance.

Finally, keep records of your results so that you can look back and discover what works and what does not in order to shorten the testing period with new Web pages you create. Start out by identifying all possible changes that can be made – and then start making them.

Use Multiple Reinforcement to increase Conversions

Filed under: Use Multiple Reinforcement to increase Conversions, Web Design — Baytech Web Design @ 12:44 am

Many Websites today are actually limiting the number of conversions that they receive because they do not understand the possibilities. Generally, their Web design strategy only tries to get leads or purchases from a landing page.

One approach to solve this is to realize that many pages should lead to get people to buy – or give an email address – and that each Web page can use language that will cause people to have to make multiple decisions per page. The key is to present similar ideas in different language. It should also do it in a way that when it is all put together it should lead to a decision – time and again.

This idea can be used throughout your Website design. Even pictures should help people to understand that having your product or service will make them happy – everything provides a positive reinforcement. That also encourages people to make the right decision.

Phrases that ask for information can also be worded in such a way as to reinforce the decision to buy. Make it a positive experience to buy from you and expect results. Instead of just asking for an email, say something like: “Please send us your email address and information so that we can rush … to your door…” As you can see, it creates a want-to in the person – not a pep talk.

Keep Testing for Maximum Webpage Performance

Filed under: Keep Testing for Maximum Webpage Performance, Web Design — Baytech Web Design @ 11:38 pm

Optimizing your Web pages may only require one or two small changes. Even the changing of only one word can sometimes greatly enhance your CTR.

This means that your testing needs to continue for some time and that it needs to be thorough. Not only should you change the wording on your ads, but also the spacing, the section order and arrangements, the headings, and even the graphics.

It really is a good idea not to take anything for granted – unless you had previously verified it through other tests. Website structure should also be tested for simplicity. Instead of listing all of the features or benefits of your product or service, you may want to make your Webpages more user friendly by simply listing the key ones – just so your page is more easily readable and has more white space. Being crowded is apt to scare people away – giving you undesired results.

Another turnoff is using fonts that are too small. Make it readable – not like legal documents where lawyers try to hide things hoping people won’t read them. Let your Website design speak of transparency and friendliness and you can see the results you want.

Common Mistakes – Design and Brand Should Support Each Other

One more reason why you need an objective person to verify the cohesiveness and single purpose of your Website is because it is quite possible that the Web design does not provide a clue as to the purpose of the Website. Besides that, even though the graphics may be great – it does not at all mean that they are supporting your company’s brand.

When you are building a Website, you want it to promote your company’s brand and also convey your marketing message to your target audience. If it does not accomplish that, your E-Commerce Web design may not be worth what you paid for it – no matter how good it looks.

Your overall purpose is to promote your brand and to reach your target audience – and get them to buy – or get on your list. Getting people to recognize your brand is a constant task – remember there is a whole world that needs to understand it (where applicable).

Your marketing efforts, Website structure and Website design should all be laid out with that in mind. An even better feature that will add stickiness to a Website is to create pages that are in some way interactive. Once again, the fancy Websites often leave this out.

Don’t forget, too, that the principles of SEO need to be added in there somewhere. In reality, it all needs to be there – working together to build your brand and increase your ROI.

Let Baytech Web Design put it all together for you. We are a team of proven Web design experts that have enabled many companies to develop a powerful brand with success from their Websites. Talk to us today and get your Website moving toward success.

Common Mistakes of Website Design

Filed under: Common Mistakes of Website Design, Design & Branding, Web Design — Baytech Web Design @ 11:03 am

Everyone is more attracted to a Website design that looks cool and is beautiful – than to a plainer one without as many bells and whistles. Once people get past the beauty of it, however, there often is little else there that makes people want to buy. The obvious focus in the planning went to the beautiful pages rather than good SEO and marketing practices.

There is a lot more to making a successful Webpage than just the way it looks. While others may be short on the looks, they may have taken the time to follow good SEO practices and have good Website navigation. This could actually enable the one with a lower quality design to get better traffic and probably better ROI.

Website designers tend to focus on design more than other features and it leaves the Website low on marketing power. Programmers, on the other hand, are great with SEO and other features – but usually poor when it comes to getting a quality Web design. In order to get the balance between website design and other essentials for profit, there needs to be an objective person, such as we have on our team at Baytech Web Design that can provide a balance between the two.

Another common problem is that of easy navigation. Once again, designers tend to go for “cool” – rather than practical or easy. People who are going to visit your Website really care little about “cool” – they just want to get where they are going – and they want to do it quickly – without having to wait for a “cool” page to load.

Talk to us at Baytech Web Design to get the balance your Website needs. Our team has helped many businesses of all sizes to achieve the right balance and make money, too.

Using Web Design as Part of Your Business Marketing Strategy

Web design should be looked at as part of your business marketing strategy – and not as a side aspect of it. If you have the best way to drive traffic to your Web site and are spending the big money to do so, you want people to have a desirable experience when they do visit.

Apart from that pleasant experience, people will leave your Website and not buy anything. You may get the same results if there is a definite problem with Website navigation, a cluttered appearance, not being targeted to your audience, or your information is in some way inadequate. Even worse would be if your business Website appears to be just like your competition without being unique in some way.

Even if most everything else is correct, your business will continue to lose a potential ongoing relationship with your visitors if your Web design is inadequate. By ensuring that you follow proper SEO techniques, ease of navigation and easily found links, as well as tactics designed to lead people to make a decision to buy – is all part of a quality Web design that will bring the results you want.

Spatial tactics are also necessary to give your Website just the right appearance. This includes using white space, not too much advertising, large enough fonts for most people to be able to easily read it, and a good balance of graphics that add to the overall experience of your Website.

When all the right tactics are incorporated into a highly functional and technically advanced Website, your business can continue to draw new traffic and keep the old. Web 2.0 design features can be put into various Websites, too, creating a more powerful way to keep your visitors coming back and interacting with you.

Baytech Webs is ready to help you develop that Website you need for maximum impact on your audience. We have the highly experienced staff that can build the full-featured Website design and brand you need for online success.

Characteristics of Excellent Website Design

Filed under: Characteristics of Excellent Website Design, Design & Branding, Web Design — Baytech Web Design @ 12:49 pm

The presence or lack of an excellent Website design will affect how your audience reacts to what they see. Every viewer will determine within seconds as to whether or not your Website will be of any value to them.

When you want quality website design that enables you to have the greatest impact on your visitors, it is essential that you understand what matters to them. You will want to know, for instance, whether or not your average viewer is married, educated, what their concerns are, type of employment, etc. Each one of these things may require that you put a little different twist in the design of your Website.

The difference between success and failure of a Website could often be attributed to the design that went into it. The choice of the Web content you put on your Website, for instance, needs to be very relevant to your audience. Outdated information will not make anyone happy, but current and useful information will nearly always be welcome.

The graphics and colors used will also say a lot about the Website owner. There should be an overall color scheme that blends well together. Using poor quality these days is almost inexcusable when good graphics are readily available – for free or for low cost.

Good content is also easily obtained. Freelance writers are readily available to provide content for any Website. You could have an article or two within a few hours, and more on a regular basis. Even better, though, would be if you write it yourself and add that more personal touch for your audience.

Baytech Web Design is ready to help you build a quality Website that is properly aimed at your target audience. We can build your Website according to your needs and give your company the powerful brand you need. We have the staff and expertise to build your dream Website.
