The Best Kind of Websites

admin — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:43:05 +0000

What makes a good website? I’m finding that more and more people do not understand the basics of a good website. Most people I talk to think that its all about show, lots of moving things and flash-iness. I get asked a lot,

“Do you do flash?”

I always reply,

“No.”

First reason not to do flash websites is they are not search engine friendly. Adobe and Google are working on making Flash search engine friendly, but it will probably be a while and probably will never have the potential like a good standard css/html site.

As an internet marketer, and not just a “web designer”, I often have to rely on my websites and projects to sell in order to bring income. In other words with many of the websites I build, if the product or service is not selling, I dont make anything. In fact, in internet marketing I often loose money if the website is not doing a good job at selling. This has made me one of the best and most practical website designers that anyone could hire. In all humbleness.

Some things to think about when building a website:

Is my website distracting?
Are people finding what they are looking for immediately? (product/service information, phone numbers, a way to buy)
Is there anything preventing a potential customer from making a purchase?

Those are just a few things to think about. The best kind of site you can build is simple. Make it attractive to the eye, but not distracting. Make sure that its easy for people to use, and to get the information they came there for.

Flash type sites may look cool sometimes, but like many flash ads and banners that people see on a day to day basis, people grow blind to it. Often times Flash sites are too distracting for people to use, and so they leave.

Here is a blog site that I just threw together for a guy. He just wanted a simple blog site so that he could review and write about Coffee Shops and Restaurants in the Coeur d Alene area. Its Called CDA Food.com. Can also be found by going to CDA Dining and Coeur d Alene Restaurant. The guy wanted me to make sure to tell everyone that he is a terrible writer.

If you are looking for an ultra simple blog site, let me know. I can get you a custom website design and hosting for just over $150. Of course, it all depends on what you want. I can get as detailed as you want, it all depends on how much you want to spend.

Kevin Kimpton Website

Im just wrapping up a simple but professional website for my accountant. Here is his site: Kevin Kimpton. Its a clean website, built from scratch. Kevin wanted a somewhat “outdoorsy” feel and so did my best to convey that but also make it look like a professional accountant website. I hope you all like it.

By the way, Kevin and his staff are very good at what they do. If you are looking for a certified public accountant than I highly recommend you choose the office of Kevin Kimpton. If you are looking for a custom website for your company, please let us know!

I seem to get hired for the industrial, automotive type websites fairly frequently. However, I was recently asked to do the Coeur d Alene, Colon Cleanse and Detox Center website. I worked hard last night and this morning to come up with my first revision. Not bad if I say so myself: Colon Cleanse &
