Cheap is just a word. Doesn’t mean bad or good. It is assumed by most that a cheap website does perform as well as a “good” website. All in the eye of the beholder.
The term cheap does not necessarily mean poor quality or sub-standard work. We use it because we know that everyone wants a professional yet inexpensive web site designed for their business. Nobody wants to pay out a lot of money unless they have too. And in many cases, startup businesses don’t have the budget for expensive website designers. This site is SEO friendly, and the biggest reason we use the term Cheap is that is what a lot and I mean a lot of people use to search website design with.
But don’t think that we use the phrase “Cheap” and then charge you large fees. We are proud of the fact that we can afford to not have to charge those large fees. In any business, fees and prices are usually directly related to the overhead and/or cost of providing specific products and services. You may have two equally experienced designers but working in two different environments with seperate design skills.
One may be self employed and working from his home or their basement. The other may be working as a web designer for a small, medium or even large firm that provides the same services and products to you and me as consumers. So what’s the difference? Overhead of course. One may charge $600 for a website and the other for $1500 all for the same website design and service.
If you want a flash based website that is really nice looking and you don’t care that the search engines can’t even read your content, then that’s great for you. But if you are looking for a website that can attract potential customers from the Internet whether locally, nationally or global, you need to refrain from the over-use of certain “Nice” features.
The top 4 biggest mistakes are using flash websites, large flash on your home page, Javascript based flash and essentially anything that moves, changes color and is Javascript based. No I did not say you can’t use it in moderation. Why you ask? Because the search engines when they come to index your pages simply cannot read code. So the real key is to have 10% or less in code in relationship to text content on your web pages. So if you have a page with one paragraph of text and a full page of javascript navigation menu code and a flash movie no matter how big or small, then you may as well tell the search engines to not even visit that webpage or website.
Our favorite customer was one that had a really nice Flash Website. It was pretty, very cool to watch and for about a year her webmaster continued to try to get it to be indexed by the search engines and she just could not understand why her website did not generate one sale. Well…. Flash websites are like movies. It’s animation, text, images, video, audio all rendered into a single flash movie that the search engine cannot read or see. Search Engines love text on websites. They can chew up the text all day long. So you might as well consider yourself out of business to those searching for your products or services online. Now if you had a strong offline advertising campaign, then you need not concern yourself about trying to bring in online business. Unless, of course there is no real offline advertising that you are participating in.
