Website design is about more than a great looking site.

As a business owner, your website needs to reflect your company’s style and values.  It also needs to be an asset.  In other words, it should help you attract new clients.  Indeed, a website can be a powerful, inexpensive marketing and advertising tool. It’s open for business 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  In order for your website to work in these wonderful ways, though, it needs proper website design.

The folks at do-it-yourself website companies like Wix focus on ease and looks.  They sell the idea that you can build a beautiful site with a few simple clicks. They’re sort of right!  You can produce a site that looks good at a first glance with many of today’s drag-and-drop tools. At Ohio Web Tech, we’ve even had some fun playing around with such tools.  But what’s under the hood of these websites tells a different story.

Loading speed is critical for your website’s success.

In order for your website to become the business asset you want it to be, it needs to be more than a pretty display.  It needs to play well with Google and other search engines.  By this, we mean it needs to load fast.  Recent studies show that 40% of users leave a website if it takes more than 3 seconds to load.  Three seconds!  That’s all your website gets!

DIY website builders create heavy, slow sites that Google–and users– often leave.  Search engines love sites that are easy for web crawlers to read, not ones that are easy for humans to build. If your website is slow, it’s not performing well in searches.  That means you’re losing out on potential customers searching for your products or services.

In order to ensure your site speed meets user expectations, you need a professional web developer to work on the back end design of your site.  Don’t be fooled by pretty sites. What you see is only half of what you get with a website.

The team at Ohio Web Technologies designs websites with form AND function in mind.

As professional website designers, we have over 20 years of experience.  We take both form and function into consideration. Our team of graphic web designers make sure your site has the stunning, professional look your business demands.  At the same time, our developers work “under the hood” to build the website with tight, optimized code.  The end result is a website that stuns both real-world users and search engines.

Your website must be mobile responsive, too.  In today’s world of smart phones, your website must work on many different screen sizes.  All websites by Ohio Web Tech’s team meet this demand. No matter the device, our sites are beautiful, fast, and adaptable for years to come.

Our website design process focuses on customer satisfaction.

Before any design work begins, we take a full inventory of what you want and need in your website. Then we’ll build a Photoshop example of what your site will look like based on your survey.  From there, we can tweak the design as you offer more feedback.  We don’t begin building your site until you’re 100% satisfied with the proposed design.

Once you approve your design, our developers get to work transforming the idea into a website.

The entire process from start to finish takes on average 60 to 70 hours of work.  Of course, more complex designs with custom shopping carts take even longer.  We won’t stop until your site meets or exceeds your expectations.

We can develop plugins to meet your unique needs.

Any WordPress website designer uses plugins from time to time.  These handy tools are ready-made programs to add function to your WordPress website.  At Ohio Web Technologies, though, we don’t simply use plugins.  We develop our own!

Sometimes a client needs a unique solution for their website.  Our team of web developers can answer their call.  In the past we’ve developed X and Y. We even developed a plugin to help a client run Facebook photo contests.  Now you can use it, too!

Get the most out of your website.  Hire a local professional web designer.

Your website acts as the face for your company.  It can be your hardest working employee.  Even on holidays and weekends, it sells your products and services. It answers common questions and lets new clients know how to contact you. For many, your website will be their first impression of your business.

Don’t risk making a negative first impression with a poorly designed website.  Hire a company with the experience and knowledge to make your online presence outshine the competition’s.
