You might want to consider for a second what an affordable web design is.  We know how it is, right? words as “affordable” and “cost-effective” tend to hide an awful truth:  these are cheap websites, done in haste.

I don’t want to brag about us, but, honestly, we don’t have cheap products.  If there’s something we take some pride of is that, well, we create good, competitive, attractive websites for an affordable price.  Every single site we build is done to be user-friendly, attractive and easily positionable, in order to fit any marketing/advertisement agenda.  It’s not an easy task but, hey, someone’s got to do it.

Do you want to know how to make the most of your web design and how to keep it affordable?  Keep on reading, then.

We take care of every single aspect of web design like no agency does. and here’s why:  it’s the little mistakes, the unpolished ends what can bring a nice website to a screeching halt.

So you have your nice and tidy website, right?  Everything’s running smoothly and you’re sitting back, relaxing (maybe enjoying a Pina Colada and wearing a hawaiian shirt… whatever you understand as “leisure” is fine here…) All of a sudden, you get a call.  It’s one of the IT guys.

…the harbingers of bad news.

He, choking and gasping, tells you that you’re not getting any traffic to your site.  You ask yourself why, if you’ve invested lots of money not only to have a website you can be proud of but, to make sure you’re going to get noticed, you’ve spent a pretty penny on SEO and online marketing.  What gives?

It’s always those little mistakes.

“Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”

Web design still amazes me.  Apparently, I’m alone here.

I grew up with loads and loads of sci-fi.  I wasn’t really crazy about flying cars (though they still owe us that…) and space travel as much as I was with virtual realities.

The idea of reinventing the world we live in has always obsessed me.  I have always considered that we have LOTS of limitations and our choices narrow our capabilities.  We get what we can, not what we really want.  The Internet made me dream of a universe much sweeter than the one I lived in.

Instead, we integrated, regulated and adapted the Internet to our mundane needs.  And I still want a flying car, though I don’t really need it or want it.  They owe me that.

Web Design is going to  change. You’ve heard the rumors.  I’ve heard them and I’m feeling suspended between fear and hope.  Is it our nature to fear change?  The unknown is always a corridor with a million doors that lead to new corridors and doors.

I didn’t really feel the change between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 because, truth to be told, I wasn’t that crazed about technology.  The Y2K left me waiting for the Collapse of Western Civilization.  Fortunately, nothing happened.  Yet we wait for change apprehensively.  I mean, really… do we want to see a Taxi Driver sequel (or a “prequel”, if you’re more hip than the rest of us)?

I’ve watched way too many horror flicks and Scorsese movies lately and I’m a bit edgy.  The lack of sleep turns me into a harbinger of doom.  However, could it be that Web 3.0…

… is the end of the Internet as we know it? Read the rest of this entry »

Web Site Designs deal with limited sensory input.  I think I might be one of the first to say that there is an element of touch that affects navigation.  It’s not exactly tactile, but it affects our motion senses.  The ease to reach buttons on a site, the reaction and the delay after a mouse movement is performed gives a tactile quality to websites.  Think about it: when was the last time you saw your hand as it moved the mouse?  Other than that, we’re far, far away from using other senses to navigate through the web other than sight and sound.

Sometimes I’m glad it’s like that. Can you imagine a scratch n’ sniff screen?  Given the content of some sites, I predict crass results.

A decent Web Site Design is great.  What about the contents?  Do they matter?

I write and research every single day, looking out for topics that attract the attention of people.  Some, including myself, still see the Internet with kind of a “suspension of disbelief” gaze:  Sometimes some of us, who knew 5 1/4-floppy disks and actually started their video-games addiction with the archaic charm of an Atari 2600 console.

So, watching how fast the Internet grew up into this fascinating kaleidoscope of stimuli is a bit too much to fathom in one day.  Who knows what’s going to be waiting for us tomorrow?

Literally.  Tomorrow. Read the rest of this entry »

Web designs are the new business cards.  You want to brag about your company?  You better be ready to add an URL address to your personal data.  Is there a company that doesn’t like to have smooth business cards to share and spread the word?

Lousy business cards, with Internet-stolen clip art, lame fonts and clashing color schemes.  That’s almost as bad as attending a business meeting with egg and coffee stains all over your tie.  Can you even begin to imagine how embarrassing might be to have a lousy website now?

The main problem with Adult Entertainment web site designs is that, sadly, they are the reflection of a voracious industry. Jenna Jameson, erotic actress and entrepreneur, once said: “I always look at both sides and totally understand their fears of the unknown, … Whenever there is any type of adult stigma surrounding the fear, the worst is always assumed.”.  The worse, however, is a monster made out of several parts and some of them, albeit non-threatening, can bring businesses to a halt.

It is not a secret to anyone that pornographic web sites are managed in a similar way its contents are produced:  quick and messy.  There is no time for details and top-notch production.  Well… it’s not that the habitual customers of these products expect these traits.  They hope for immediate satisfaction.  So, why do erotic entertainment sites aim for some of the most voracious and gritty marketing strategies such as malware-ridden banners, hidden text and all the tools of black-hat SEO trades?

Because times are tough and there are way too many companies jumping on that bandwagon. Read the rest of this entry »

Web sites were designed to quickly deliver information.  In the beginning, the format of the content wasn’t as important as the information itself.  People would navigate through endless pages of text that wasn’t that different from a bunch of printed pages.  Since there weren’t as many alternatives as the ones we have now, browsing through these text-based sites was okay.  But people was expecting a lot more from their technologies than shoulder pads, tinfoil attire and astronaut ice-cream.

We wanted to get inside of our computers and recreate (if not improve) the world around us. Read the rest of this entry »
