Website Design:

At UrbanDesignFirm.com, our Boise Idaho website design professionals create aesthetically appealing website designs which establish your online presence and further build your brand awareness through beautiful front-end design and user friendly navigation. Typically, we build your website on a Content Management System so that once the site is launched, you can easily access the website and edit articles, including photos and graphics within those articles. Joomla is our Content Management System of choice and comes with a built in editor that functions similar to Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Writer. By building your website on a Content Management System such as Joomla, we are able to provide you with a better end product, as it keeps your website dynamic and your content easily changeable.

There are many aspects to the success or failure of any given website design, and each aspect should be addressed when designing and developing the website. In most cases a website alone will not constitute a successful marketing/sales campaign. Unfortunately "If you build it, they will come" ends in success just about as much as playing the lottery. A website is only part of a much larger system. Search Engine Optimization is important because it helps potential customers find your website within the much larger system. After they have found your website, other aspects become important because the potential customer should feel comfortable viewing and navigating your website. We'll discuss the website system in the following aspects, design and appearance, form and function, as well as marketing and search engine optimization.

Website Design and appearance:

Your website's design must be attractive and appealing to your target market, because your potential customers are more likely to buy from you if your website makes them feel comfortable. Proper integration of your branding is of course very important. A beautiful website will set the tone for a your customer overall experience. Next, comes form and function.

Website Form & Function:

Once your visitor has arrived at your website, and decided that they like the way it looks, what's the next step? What will they do, or better yet, what do you want them to do? Should they buy your wonderful ACME Widget or service? Should they contact you in some way? When they do decide to buy, is it easy for them to do so or will your website make them jump through some number of hoops just to give you their money? The answers to these questions are of great importance to the overall performance of your website.

Online Marketing and Search Engine Optimization:

Once your website is built and functioning properly, will anyone be able to find it? Search Engine Optimization, Online Marketing, Social Media Marketing as well as print advertising and other forms of traditional marketing combined, help to direct traffic to your website. Your website should be part of you broad marketing plan, it should never be "The Marketing Plan".
