Design, Communication and Usability Evaluations

Is your current web site effective? Poor planning and design can not only inhibit business, it can also drive it away.

Media Website Design will examine your current website and provide you with an invaluable report indicating it's level of effectiveness. You will also be provided with instructions and tips describing how you can "make it work."

Features evaluated are:

Design

A picture is worth a thousand words—as is your site's appearance. The first impression your site projects is vitally important. People visiting your URL should be impressed when they arrive consciously and subconsciously. Most people are not privy to the details of professional design. However, they are aware of what makes for a design they should accept and take seriously.

The shapes, colors, typefaces, images and layout of a site can work for you when the proper techniques dictate their arrangement. It's ridiculously easy to be caught without their effective use, especially on the web. Let us help you make sure your site's appearance is working for you.

Communication

The primary function of any marketing piece (print ads, commercials, web sites) is to communicate. No matter how fancy your site appears to be, it will not do it's job if it fails to appeal, mentally, to it's audience. An effective site projects information and does so in a way uninhibited by poor communication.

Again, every visual aspect of your site, including it's content, must be arranged in such a way to clearly and painlessly project your message. There are countless ways communication can be inhibited by your site. Ironically, this aspect of site design is often ignored or placed last in it's conception. Communication should actually be at the top of the list, and dictate how every element in your site is formed and presented. We can help you correct your site and make it truly speak to it's viewers, generate appeal, and in the long run, their business.

Usability

Web sites must have easy-to-use and intuitive forms of navigation. Visitors to your site demand to know where they are, where they can go and how to get where they want to be. And it doesn't end there. Adequate content needs to be provided and broken up into logical sections. Appropriate information needs to be provided in a decending order of signifigance.

Again, despite how impressive your site may appear, useful content must be provided. And it must be provided in such a way as it is easy to obtain. Our report will let you know how well your site fares in this area as well.

 

Your evaluation report

An evaluation will provide you with a professional critique of the multiple aspects of your site described above. It will tell you what works and what doesn't. It will also provide detailed explanations of what's wrong should your site require altering.

It will offer conceptual solutions on how you can repair your site and leave you with an efficient advertising and communication tool.

Pricing

A level-one evaluation will provide an examination on the effectiveness of your site's design, communication and usablilty. It will also offer a broad range of instructions and tips that will 'get things in order.' This is available for a flat fee of $99. Evaluation reports can be delivered in hard copy form, or in a variety of text formats via email. Limited assistance can also be provided by phone.
This price is offered for the evaluation of web sites sized typically with around 5 sections and no more than 15 pages. Unusually complex sites may require more attention and may increase our fee.
