Most of the time, web design is created entirely from the perspective of the visual, if it looks good; it must be a good site.

Unfortunately, where e-commerce is concerned (i.e. profits and sales as opposed to just entertainment), putting looks ahead of usability can not only minimize your site's effectiveness, it can actually do great harm. If a site visitor can't navigate, can't find information, and can't perform basic tasks, even the most beautifully designed site will not offset a negative experience. To make matters worse, not only is the negative experience associated with the site, it is

associated with the brand name.

A well-planned web site, in partnership with other marketing activities, has the potential to produce highly qualified sales leads, increase your sales, increase staff effectiveness and reduce costs in the long run.

What do you want your web site to do? Creating a web site without a marketing strategy can be an expensive and a time-consuming mistake. Remember, if you want your web site to attract traffic and, more importantly, sales, your web site must be designed to accomplish these goals.

It is just as important to brand your business on-line as it is off-line. It is essential to establish your niche, and if you don't get them on your home page, you don't get them at all.

To create a quality web site from a marketing point of view, it must be search engine friendly. What that means is that all your meta tags, alt tags, descriptions, headings, keywords, and titles are in place. It means your code is clean, you don't have a lot of bells and whistles, very little to no flash, and limited graphics. "Keeping it simple, keeping it stupid."
