Advertising, social media, and SEO help people find your website, but once they do, it’s up to your website to turn them into customers.
Research shows that a website’s design determines its ability to bring in business. If you want people to choose you over your competition, you need a website designed to show them why they should.
You might think that it doesn’t matter what kind of website you have representing your business. After all, a website is a website, right?
Wrong.
Where the right website can help bring customers through your door, the wrong one can send them running into the arms of your competitors.
People buy from those they know, trust, and like, and if your website doesn't connect with them on all three levels, then it’s not worth the investment.
There is a world of difference between a mediocre website that tells people what you do and a website that provides a great user experience and shows people why you’re the BEST at what you do.
One attracts business. One doesn’t. And the design will dictate which.
In search of a long overdue website, we engaged Christian to help. We wanted to give users the info they needed to ensure that calls coming in were from ready-to-order customers rather than those seeking information over the phone.
Almost immediately after launch, we were achieving our desired results. Customer service has improved, and the majority of incoming calls are resulting in immediate orders. Thank you Christian for enabling us to streamline our operation.
The way in which you present a portfolio is just as important as the portfolio itself. If the point of showing examples of your work or products is to convince people that you’re great at what you do, then you need a website that makes them look as impressive as possible.
This website is an example of how visual and structural design can elevate a portfolio and create a user experience that keeps viewers engaged. That is how you turn them into customers, and that is how you increase your market share instead of losing it to your competitors.
Remember, just like bad acting can ruin a great story, a cheap website can ruin a great portfolio.
Why do so many restaurant websites fail to attract customers, or worse yet - drive them away?
Because they look horrible.
You can’t just throw your info onto a website and expect people to come running, just like you can’t just throw some ingredients onto a plate and expect it to be delicious. You have to put in the work.
Restaurant websites should make people salivate and call immediately to make a reservation. The Bella Vita website is designed to do just that and is an example of what I believe restaurant websites could, and should, look like. How do you want yours to look?
Petillo Guitars makes some of the world’s finest guitars, but their website wasn’t reflecting that. Over the course of a couple of months, I devoted myself to redesigning and building a new website for them that would change that.
The new site incorporates the new focus and functionalities they wanted it to have while staying true to their roots and brand. By using imagery taken only from their social media accounts, I was able to make a website that shows what makes Petillo Guitars so special.
Every website’s primary goal is to attract customers. But how do you do this if you’re in an important but unglamorous service industry? You do it by designing a website that connects with your target audience and shows them why you’re the best option out there.
By focusing on the content, usability, aesthetics, and speed, this site provides potential customers with information that is both useful and easy to find in an overall pleasing experience. You’d be amazed by how much these factors influence whether or not people pick you over your competitors.
People will judge you based on your website, regardless of your industry. A well-designed website could be one of the best investments you'll ever make for your business.
Sometimes, it’s not enough to just show your work; you have to show why you work. Loralee’s art is heavily inspired by the way she sees the world, both literally and figuratively. This connection was the inspiration for the website's overall design.
By focusing on this connection throughout the site, the viewer is pulled into Loralee's world while experiencing her expressive work. The use of large, uniform images were used on the gallery pages to emulate a gallery experience.
This project was a classic case of a great business that had an outdated website. After understanding how the owner wanted the new website to represent her business, I created the structure, content, and visuals while keeping her involved along the way.
We completed the project with minimal revisions and in good time. The site is simple, as desired, but embodies the warmth everyone feels when they enter the salon, which was the owner’s main request.
There is a lot that goes into making a website that connects with people and convinces them that you’re what they’re looking for.
Your website has to establish you as an authority, professional, and trustworthy if you want it to actually help your business. Making websites like this is what I do, and I can't wait to help your business by making it a website that is:
Your website is one of your business's most valuable assets. Ensure its health and longevity and prevent minor issues from becoming expensive nightmares by getting a maintenance plan.
But keeping your website running in tip-top shape isn't the only thing a maintenance plan does for you. It also:
Get peace of mind knowing your website's performance, updates, and security are in good hands, so you can focus your time and energy on your business.
Get all the benefits of the Site Plan AND a boost to your website's traffic with a local SEO campaign.
You can’t solve a problem you don’t understand. That’s why I always begin by learning about your business and goals and doing competitive analysis.
Content is king. This doesn’t just apply to WHAT you communicate, but also to HOW you communicate. I’ll work together with you to create the structure, content, and design strategy your website will need.
Once you approve the content and visual strategies, I'll start incorporating everything we've worked on into a high-def visual representation of what your site will look like. After you approve that, I’ll start building the real thing.
Now I turn the approved design into a fast, responsive website. I’ll incorporate any CMS, animations, or third-party integrations your site will require as well as on-site SEO, which I build into every site. After user testing and feedback, we’ll move on to the 5th and final stage.
This is the most exciting part - you finally get your NEW WEBSITE! Once I get your final approval, I’ll take care of the technical stuff, and your new website will be live and ready to take your business to the next level!
Christian built me a new portfolio website and it turned out absolutely gorgeous! I came to him with specific ideas, but I appreciate that instead of simply following them to a T, he came back with a bunch of his own that I ended up liking even better.
He was great to work with and kept me on track with my part of the process. I would definitely recommend getting a website made by him!
People don’t read websites the same way they read physical media. If you want your audience to read what’s on your website, you have to write and present it in a way that engages them.
This article will show you how to do just that and help you transform your writing into a lead-generating machine.
Deciding whether or not to get a website for your business is a serious question. How can you know if having one will make a real difference or not?
Before you decide, you should consider some of the key benefits that come with owning your own website.
If you want your website to attract business, it needs to show people why they should choose you over your competition. But how do you do this? What makes some websites good at this and others not?
The design.
I can’t say enough about how easy it was to work with Christian. He is extremely talented and addressed all of my requests. I wanted something simple that would let the salon’s personality and professionalism shine, and the result was better than I could have dreamed.
I am extremely cautious about recommending someone, but I would hands-down 100% recommend Christian to design a website to promote and reflect who and what your business is. He was such a pleasure to work with!
Your website’s design affects more than just how it looks and functions. It influences what people think about your business and determines whether or not they will become customers.
You owe it to yourself and your business to get a website that's worth the investment.
