Design
Looking for budget website design. Foxdesign.org can help. With the advent of content management systems such as WordPress and Joomla creating a website has never been easier with some hosting companies offering the famed 1 click install (normally works out at two or 3) and depending on the speed of your host, you will have a live website in 30 seconds to 15 minutes time.
This makes it easy for newcomers and the less technically experienced with limited or no knowledge of coding to create a basic website in a short period of time cutting down the design process and in a lot of cases making the use of website designers a thing of the past. Just type in your text, add some plug ins and widgets, add some photos and links and you are live and broadcasting to the world.
But with this ease of website creation comes one increasingly new problem and that is new websites are being launched at an ever increasing rate and it’s becoming harder to get a new website found amidst the masses of new websites and blogs being launched every day…………and some of them are very good indeed! Add to this that most websites will be using either the standardised theme that came with WordPress or one of the instantly recognisable themes that seem to appear everywhere and it is soon realised that maybe this ease of creating a website is a mixed blessing.
It is ironically becoming apparent that a website designer that knows how to create a website that will become visible to the search engines and beat off the ever increasing competition is now more important than ever in the world wide web. The ability for a website once found to grab the visitors attention and keep it and make them return multiple times in the future, that’s the challenge that website designers know, understand and are able to capitalise on with ease. something newcomers may initially find difficult to grasp as it can take years!
Website design is a definite art form and requires some experience in running and designing websites and understanding the ever changing algorithms that search engines use to decide whether a website contains unique and compelling content that people will find useful and is designed to web standards which requires a consequently higher ranking OR whether it is one of the many rubbish spam sites that crop up increasingly that need to be either put on a low ranking or even deleted from the search engine completely. It’s the former situation that is our aim here at FoxDesign.org to create a quality website that carries authority on the web not only in appearance but with the information it contains and how it consequently ranks with the search engines. Master that, and you have a successful website.
With wordpress the tedious coding and basic design and setting up of databases for websites has been removed freeing up designers to spend more time on the visual appeal of the site and focus more on layout, navigation, structure and website loading speeds and once the website is up and running focusing on marketing the website to ensure the world knows your website is out there and ensuring it gets found ahead of the competition.
Fox Design is aimed at people who know how to do the simple install of wordpress on their server but are looking at upgrades to the design via a free theme and then tweaking that theme to make it different and more individual to the other thousands of websites that are also unavoidably using the very same theme but with just a different site and/or logo as the header.
Also Fox Design is for those who want to add more functionality to their website/blog beyond the out of the box text and picture blogging capability of wordpress alone.
WordPress can be tweaked and made into an impressive multi functional website via plugins and widgets but from our past experience using too many of either of these has the effect of slowing wordpress down and creating server strain or worse causing conflicts within the wordpress environment and consequently no website appearing whatsoever.. It’s knowing the right ones to use and the ones to avoid which requires experience in the use of the wordpress system.
This is where the ability to “lift up the bonnet” on your wordpress installation and modify the code within it without causing conflicts and errors to create a unique website that nobody else will have is the domain of website designers and those website owners that are more technically inclined than most.
Because wordpress has taken the major cost factor out of building a website from the ground up as most of the hard work is done by the installation itself, tweaking and customising can work out as a cost effective option for those looking to create a website that will stand out from the crowd and have the search engines clambering to get your site not only indexed but ranked higher in preference to other sites without using those shadier techniques of achieving such an aim that can literally destroy a websites long term chance of success.
Taking an existing theme and modifying it to meet a website owners requirements can bring the cost down from many days or sometimes weeks of time to just (in the quickest of cases) , a couple of hours, can achieve the desired effect to produce a website that is unique, vibrant and correctly optimised for maximum exposure on the search engines and directories to get you that website traffic you deserve.
