Who designed your website?

[Studio Eighty7]

As a company who offers web design and development services, a forum full of business owners is a perfect opportunity to carry out some market research.

If you are a business, who has a website please vote on how exactly you acquired it.

Thank you for your assistance.

Perhaps we could come to some sort of arrangement about that..... I never have the time to work on our own sites SEO and its always more difficult to run your own campaign than have an outsider look in on it.

None of the above.

 

[Studio Eighty7]

None of the above.

Do you mind sharing the details? Im aware there are other options but the forum only allowed for five. Thanks

Do you mean designed or do you mean developed or a combination of both?

Like ethical, none of the above. My clients determined the design of the site. WordPress did all the development.

Thanks for your reply fisicx. More often than not the same website will be designed and developed using the same company. When you say your clients determined the design of your site, is it a wordpress theme?

 

[fisicx]

Yes. But one I developed myself based on lots and lots of testing.

Hi Studio

Normally when I commission a website I will use designers to design the website and a back end company to do the development unless I go to an integrated agency which does both. It's unusual to find a one person band who has both a degree and experience as a graphic designer and is also an experienced as a back end developer.

As well as recommendations from other marketing and communications professionals I will also look in the trade press for case studies, look at award winning web designers etc.

If you do a search on this forum, you will find hundreds of threads from those wanting to start out in web design (read developing websites) looking for advice on the best channels (and approaches) to use to market their services...probably worth a read if you are looking to understand the best channels to use (and not use) to market your services.

Myself

Design,what does that mean.

I throw a few sites together with the aid of various bits of software.

Design don't come in to it I do it to make money, so far I been lucky or could it have something to do with 20 years of practising SEO or 40 years of working with computers.

 

[Rene Vatz]

I did myself too.

 

[InternetMarketingPlatinum]

Interesting thread. All that matters is traffic and conversions. I agree...what is design?

 

[ZAP]

Used a template and creative commons images

 

[ADNattan]

None of the above. Asked a designer I partner with on various projects to design it, had an old colleague develop it, and wrote the content myself.

The test server (pre Google) was indeed housed in a building block (kids blocks, not sure if it was lego), and in a garage, and the original company ran out of a garage as well

Crazy mixed up world eh.

Kids, can't live with em, can't shoot em

 

[Marked]

Well, you learn something new every day.

It's a shame that whilst there is a "Found the company who built your website via a search engine" category there isn't one for "Found the company who built your website via this forum"

I used a CMS system for mine and but together the page myself - I used to do HTML at college so had to brush up my HTML/CSS but managed to cobble it together.

I think next year I will have the site re-done professionally to do everything I want but for now, what I have does the job.

Me, myself, and I. Learnt something new everyday about website development.

 

[FuzzyFinker]

I built mine through webs.com - needed something not expensive and easy and as I already used them for a hobby website I was aware just what I could do with them

 

[astrolabium]

we designed our website.
