"Face Lifts" or Website
Re-designs
Sometimes companies have existing
websites that need a new look or need to become more functional.
We see many problems with existing websites that we can help to
correct, such as:
- Poorly designed graphics that may be
too large or difficult to see
- Poor navigation so the companies
products and services cannot be found on the website
- Slow load time in most browsers.
- Improper web page optimization so
the site is getting little or no traffic.
- Awkward or non-existent shopping
carts to sell products online
- A generally unprofessional or
"home-made" look
- Poor wording that does not capture
the reader's attention instantly (you only have 2-5 seconds to
convince visitors to stay"
- Useless entry pages that cause
surfers to leave as soon as they arrive
- Improperly named pages and images.
- Failure to be accessible to some
browsers or some surfers
An example of three recent face lifts we did
for clients are below:

Norson's website
had many problems created by their previous designer: very
slow-loading graphics, almost no text for the search engines
to index, buttons and other graphics that added no value to
the site, poor navigation, improperly-named pages, and a
generally unprofessional look. In addition, the site
received almost no traffic, because of poor search engine
placement. |

New web site:
www.norsonsindustries.com
We fixed all of
these problems, found some good sites to ask for links to
their site, optimized their site (see www.HitHiker.com)
for maximum search engine ranking, and resubmitted their new
site to the major search engines. Look for them on top
soon for search terms like "Contemporary Furniture"
and "Contemporary Bookcases"! |

Xaloc's website
had many problems created by their previous designer: very
slow-loading graphics, a hidden front page that could not be
found at all by the search engines, buttons and other graphics that added no value to
the site, poor navigation, improperly-named pages, and a
generally unprofessional look. In addition, the site
received no traffic, because of very poor search engine
placement. |

Quality Archery
Designs website had multiple problems: there was no
information on the front page to tell the visitor what the main business of this company
was, the meta tags were improper causing very poor rankings,
the side graphic was heavy and repeated improperly and the
shopping cart was very difficult to use. Take
a look - except for their name, would you know that they sold
archery accessories? |

We gave them a new, more
informative look that is easy to read and easy to navigate. We
added just enough pictures and text so that now everyone knows
immediately what this company sells!
We also completely redesigned
the shopping cart with a MIVA cart to increase the percentage
of visitors who purchase online.
