Custom Web Design and Programming

With thousands of web development companies around the globe, finding the right one for your bugdet and needs may be a challenging and time consuming task. This task is even more difficult if you're looking to get a custom design. Remember, there are thousands of ready made templates that can be used to design a web site. It is cheap and quick, but does it offer you as a client any unique value? Simple answer is "NO".

Every business is unique and has very specific needs. You as a client should always have high expectations from your web designer. After all, it is an investment and if it does not meet your expectations, your throwing away your money. So what are the factors that make a web design company good fit for custom web design?

Many factors have to be considered for a professional custom web site design. We, at The Bijnor group make sure our clients understand the importance of the following:

Site Navigation:

A web site with poorly designed navigation is the number one reason why it fails. While each site is unique, it is imperative that the navigation always be in the same place on each page. Whether it is on the top, left, or right side, it does not matter. Never put navigation at a place where customer can't find it right away. Consistency is the key to a well designed navigation. Also, there is no need to get "cute" with the navigation. Make sure it is simple, practical and serves its purpose well. Too many designers use Javascript for navigation to bring in the "wow" factor. However, Search Engine robots/crawlers ignore Javascript code so they are not going to find other pages within your web site. Bottom line, your web site gets poorly indexed in Search Engines.

No Gimmicks and Excessive Graphics in Design:

Graphics files are much larger in size than text files and it takes lot longer to load them when visitors click on a link on your web site. On average, most visitors wait only about 7 seconds before click away if your site is not interesting or doesn't load fast enough. Remember, graphics is not the reason why a visitor is on your site. They are visiting your site to find products/services. So, never lose focus of your products and services. Flashy animations, graphics, and other gimmicks in web design may look cool but they are a big distraction from the main goal and could cost you thousands of dollars in lost business opportunities. In the end, most people purchase services and/or products from websites that are professional, simple and easy to use.

Search Engine Listing:

Search engines are important if you want to sell a product or service and it makes perfect sense that you have customization around search engines on your site. it is imperative that your site is built for the major search engines.
