Do you have any desire in terms of design?

The design is, after informative, quality-rich content and ease of use, an important part of your website. A poor design can lead visitors to simply browse on to another site that appeals to them better visually.

It's not always that you know what you want your website to look like, and then it becomes a process where I present a design that is then customized until it becomes the way you want it. A big help then, is if you have seen some web pages that you find visually appealing, that can be used as a starting point, or come with wishes in relation to design.

‍

Design always gets a little back and forth before landing on the right thing, but here, too, it's important to be realistic in terms of how much back and forth it can be, before the price rises. Therefore, it is important that you have a certain idea in advance of what you want, so that the design does not have to be changed again and again.

As a rule, I ask you to approve the design before I go ahead and build the rest of the website. Small changes and tweaks are fine, but if you want a completely new design further in the process, it will cost a little extra. Think of it like having a painter paint your house pink. Once he has painted two sides of the house pink, you can't change your mind and ask him to paint it blue instead, at no additional cost. Then you would be left with two pink walls, two unpainted and only see the back of a very offended painter.

So a little advance research might be a good idea:

• Have you ever seen a website with a design similar to what you want?
• Do you have special wishes in relation to the colors on the website?
• Have you seen a font you like and would like to use on your website?
• What kind of website do you envision; Modern, traditional, airy, dark, bright, anonymous, personal?
• Do you want animations? Animations can make your website more interactive for visitors, but can also be annoying if they are not relevant. There are many ways to animate, so get in touch with me and we'll work out together whether you should have animations or not, and what kind.

• Do you have photos you want to use, or do you need to have photos taken for the website?
• What do you want pictures of?
• Do you want me to look for good pictures to buy, or do you have photos yourself,.
