DesignerMark Blog

Whilst researching some products for a client, I bumped into a site that would have been a likely candidate in terms of what they were offering, but the site seemed very old fashioned and I noticed that the ‘copyright’ text in the footer still said ©2008.

Now, they may very well be the perfect company for my clients’ needs but the combination of a tired design (designed to accommodate the now very old 640 x 480 screen resolutions) and the out of date footer left a bad impression, so off I went back to the Google Search Results to choose from one of the other similar looking products in the list!

Then it struck me AGAIN… design is SO important for creating the right (or at least, not the wrong) first impression!

With such a competitive online world, which is only getting more and more competitive with time, it’s vital to not get left behind. Vital to make it all count, and essential to keep your website up to date with both it’s content and look & feel – and also the smaller things like copyright dates!

I will be expanding on these areas in the DesignerMark blog in the near future, with some tips and inside info on the latest practices and technologies now reliably and readily available for websites which will hopefully give you some ideas and pointers for your own website.
