Website Design
There are many approaches to web design, but at Acorn C/s I offer custom design of the hightest caliber. The process begins with a lot of questions, and ends with you receiving the website of your dreams. At first it may seem like I am just being nosy(!)... but rest assured all the information I gather during the early stages of our communication is necessary, and will culminate in a website that is perfect for you and your business. Take a look at the website intake form to get an idea of the information I will need to get started. But don't feel overwhelmed, I am available to walk you through it if all those text boxes make your eyes glaze over!
Getting started with a website can seem like a daunting task, but I am expert at helping you figure out what you need and leading you through the process.
- Sell products or services
- Lead generation
- Online brochure

The Design Process
Your final site will be a seamless extension of your marketing efforts to date, branded to match your style so that your clients/customers know where they are when they arrive at your site. We will guide you in making sure the visual design of your site helps to reach your website goals without interfering with the presentation of your message.
- Aesthetics: Our goal is to combine all our years of design experience with your likes and dislikes, your logo and branding and your color ways and come up with a completely custom site the is the perfect representation of you online! I will work with you to discover your aesthetic and design a site that will appeal to your target audience.
- Content - The content of the site is something that I can help you prepare, but a lot of this will be on your shoulders as you know your business better than anyone else. If you want to optimize your site for the searh engines I highly recommend you work with a professional SEO copywriter Laurie Macomber. She and I work together to get your content on the website so that the search engines will love you! See a sample of her writing for 3-Bidz: Quality Choice in Windows, Siding & Doors (design for this site was done by myself and programming by Advanced Digital Consulting.)
