Web Design

Although only part of the overall picture, web design is a very important aspect of the creation of any web site or branding. Design is the initial factor that will hold the attention of a potential client that happens to come across your web site or literature and encourage them to actually find out more about your business, buy your products or services, whatever.

Good and bad design is evident in all aspects of our lives, including the Internet, there are plenty of well-designed sites out there and hopefully you will agree that there are many examples of good design in our portfolio. Bad design will make your branding or web site stand out, but entirely for the wrong reasons. We’ve all seen web sites with hideous colours, amateur, out of focus images, animated clipart etc, the list goes on. The simple fact of the matter is that this poor design is damaging to your business.

Design also moulds all of the other functionality of a web site together, such as navigation, readability, usability (accessibility) and of course your corporate image and branding. We at Atomic Web Solutions refer to ourselves as ‘Web Developers’ rather than simply ‘Web Designers’ as we offer a whole range of services of which web design is only one, though very important service.

When we build your web site we take into consideration the design, function, accessibility and usability issues. We also make sure that it is search engine ready, using search engine optimisation and search engine marketing tecniques to ensure that you receive good quality traffic - visitors that want to look at your site, find out what you have to offer and ultimately buy or use your products or services.

When designing a client's web site, we look at the bigger picture too. Remember that a web site opens up your business to a global market. Case study 4 describes how we helped NDL Darlington, a haulage company based in the north east of England and carrying loads all across europe. We made sure that key information was made available on the web site in all of the key european languages including French, Russian, Spanish and Italian - this just makes it easier for potential clients to deal with you and shows that you've made an effort to gain their business.

We understand that good design is more than just good images and page layout. Good web design includes many aspects and over the years we've grown to know what works and what doesn't. If you'd like us to work with you, trust us and we'll deliver something that will really work for your audience.
