How is your website performing? Are you making enough sales? Is it attracting decent traffic? If it’s not meeting your original  expectations, it could be because you aren’t doing all the things available to improve your ranking with the search engines…

OR…

Could it be that your current web-hosting company has limited Search Engine Optimization, limited shopping cart functionality, less-design options, as well as less advertising & promotion of it’s member’s websites. Of course there are the more traditional things you can do, like adding new content, (articles, & product descriptions); that would help the search engines ‘index’ your site…but you probably wouldn’t want to put any more effort into trying to improve it, if what you’ve done so far hasn’t given you decent results!!!

It may not be your ‘FAULT’…

Now that you’ve got your ‘feet wet’ with having a website & you know a LOT more about… how to design one… setting it up with your products… writing descriptions & uploading photos… and you understand ‘something’ about how ‘search results’ work…maybe you’re ready to try something a bit more sophisticated. Perhaps trying another web-development company that offers more options… one that is geared to helping you to sell your products, would give you a lot more ‘bang for your buck’.

Many of the web design/web development companies out there, can design & develop very sophisticated, complex, & feature-rich websites for big companies and corporations, but there ARE other online choices available; ones that have found a way to offer people who have a small budget…easy-to-use web-design, that anyone can do.

Having a web design/web development company that specializes in eCommerce websites & offers a multitude of design options, such as: pre-designed or customized templates, custom shopping carts, product posting support,  tools to make shipping & managing orders easy, and many other features; may make having a successful, productive, website a reality.  You can also watch this video which demonstrates how eCommerce web development can provide solutions to help increase the sales of your unique product or service.

To explain the concept of  Web Design |  Or… How I Went From Oil Painter To Digital Artist

1st a little history…

I decided that due to the overwhelming prevalence of computers & the Internet in our society… & in particular digital media; I would try to expand my scope as an artist to include web design, by creating logos & promoting my products in that venue.  The use of the Internet to convey information, such as in the form of ‘blogging’; as well as making products available worldwide on a website; gives an artist a wider range of exposure.  There are graphic art & web design programs available for artists & web designers designed to use to aid in accomplishing the necessary steps needed to execute website & logo design, such as;  , website graphics & logos, website source coding, (although the latest technology for web design uses ‘style sheets’ to accomplish much of the visual website theme-related tasks), web application development, database development, & search-engine optimization.

Website Developers have studied & mastered these techniques which are essential for producing a functional & visually appealing website. They are really the ones who can implement the more sophisticated & extensive elements of web design… in my case I work with a web developer who handles the functional aspects, whereas I develop the visual design elements.

There will be more articles, discussing in detail; more aspects of web design; both visually & functionally, which will help to illustrate the many facets of what actually goes into creating a website.
