Outsourcing your web design projects

Over the years we have provided creative skills to a number of businesses by offering our services as an independent contractor. We have been contracted by web development, Internet marketing and IT companies, who,though experts in their own fields, know their limitations when it comes to web design and turn to us.

Outsourcing is a cost effective way for many companies to broaden their “skill set” and offer a convenient “one stop shop” for their clients.

The horizontal scroll no no.

Did you know that about 30% of internet users have their monitors set at a resolution of 800 x 600 px, the majority now have their monitors set at 1024 x 768 px.

But what happens if your web site is designed at a width suitable for the majority? 30% of your visitors will have to scroll horizontally to fully view your site.ARGHH!! Horrizontal scrolling is not an intuative action of any surfer and there is no telling what important information or message they may be missing.

Until the 800 x 600 viewer statistics drastically drop we will always be designing so our web sites with optimal usability for the lowest common denominator.

Protect your computer from “pests”.

Is your computer infected with Trojans, spyware or other nasties..do you even know? Is your browser being hijacked?

My browser was being hijacked a few months ago … automatically taking me to sites seemingly at random. I ran a Norton virus scan but everything was inorder.

A web developer colleague suggest I try Ad-aware ..it worked perfectly, ridding my computer from a load of “pests” and sorting out the browser hijacking problem

It can be downloaded for free.

The Fundemental Question

Preparation is everthing.
When talking to a potential client looking to create a new web site or re-work an exisiting one, our number one and fundemental question is always:-

“What is the goal and objective of your site”

Contemplating that question in advance will help you focus on the end gain of your project and help us create a plan to get you there.
