Web Design
There is no need to write a lot of rhetoric about web design. If you're visiting this site, chances are you realize that this is absolutely a necessary medium to reach your existing and potential clients and customers. You need a website, or you need to update your existing website and we can help. If you're looking for the right design firm to help, you need to ask some important questions:
Am I looking for an online "brochure" site, or do I want to offer my products and services online?
Web Barn has designed websites of all types and for all business sizes. We believe that a website should reflect your current business model and should also reflect your potential to open up your company to a wider market. We handle each client as a unique individual and provide the best design solutions possible.
Will my website be static with a couple of changes and updates here and there, or do I want to be able to take greater control of my website and update it myself?
Depending on your business type, you may want to consider designing your site with a powerful Content Management System. This will allow you or your staff to keep your website up to date on a regular basis without relying on someone else.
With that said, many clients rely on Web Barn’s quick and efficient response time to keep their site up-to-date with minor, semi-regular updates. Either way, it is important that your potential customers know that your business is alive and kicking.
How do I register a domain name (example, yourbusinessname.com) and set up e-mail for that account?
All Web Barn websites include domain registration and e-mail setup. This is an important first step in building your online presence and the right domain name can make all the difference in your online brand. If you have already registered a domain name, we can easily set up your new or updated website.
I have heard that there are going to be new government regulations surrounding website accessibility, will this affect me?
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) will mandate accessibility for all websites based on web accessibility standards. This means that within the next year or two your website will have to follow these standards. In addition, there is a great deal of research and statistics that show the buying power of people with disabilities and their families to be well within billions of dollars. As our population ages, this number will increase exponentially specifically for individuals with low vision and vision loss. Providing an accessible website opens your business to this growing market and shows that your business is open to individuals of all abilities.
