Web Design and Usability

Today it seems as though there is a race for businesses to get online.  Sure, there are templates that allow you to “fill in the blanks,” add a few stock photos and throw up a website real quick.  This is the cheap way to do it, but what most businesses don’t realize is that when you use a template that thousands of other websites have used, you’re business is also seen as “cheap.”

Your website should be custom designed with your customer in mind.  You have spent time creating a brand and image for your company.  Why destroy that brand with a website design that a thousand other people are also using?  By doing so, you are sending out the message that you don’t want to be unique and that you are not better than your competitors.
