Sigma Web Design
We're here to get you on the internet with a great looking website !
Having a website makes you look professional and increases trust.
Most people don't trust a business without a good website. A clean, modern page that is regularly updated and pops up in search engines is an instant credibility boost. Potential customers will trust you more and have all the information they need in one place.
Having a good website instantly boosts your credibility as a legitimate business.
Do I need a website ?
Anyone can easily create a Facebook page or an Instagram account with fake data, your name/handle, and the profiles may look identical to yours. So, a professional business website legitimizes your company in ways no other social media channels would.
While 36 percent of small businesses don't have their own website, 64 percent of them do. This means that the majority of small businesses DO have a presence online, and it's likely that your competitors have a website that is appealing to people in your area.
First impressions count, and websites allow you to make a very strong impression with a well designed introduction for your business. A website can help showcase your expertise and better position your business. A website can be your number one tool for standing out in a crowd.
And if you don't have a business and you're considering creating a place for your portfolio, to show off your work, or something that represents yourself to send to recruiters when looking for a job - there's not a more professional way to stand out from the crowd than having a personal website.
Your Website
A good looking site... on all devices.
Google ranks local businesses higher when searchers use mobile devices.
We're constantly looking for the latest trends in webdesign, creativity that wows your customers when visiting your site.
Furthermore your site has to be responsive. A responsive website is different from a mobile friendly website, that will look good on mobile devices. A responsive website is a site design that allows your site to adapt to the size of any screen it is being viewed on.
With a design like this, you're way ahead of your competition. And it positions your website to seamlessly cater to newer devices with which users use to surf the internet e.g. smartwatches, IoT devices, etc. Your website can automatically adjust itself to suit each screen.
Interaction or not ?
The most significant contrast between static and dynamic websites is that the content on a static website stays the same unless the website developer changes the source code. Information on a dynamic site can shift based on different users' desires, locations, and times of the day.
Static content typically gets uploaded along with the webpage. What a user sees gets downloaded and presented in the same format no matter what actions they take. With dynamic websites, the content changes format based on the controls set by the website administrator and the actions of a user.
Base your decision about a static or dynamic website on what you need it to provide. A static website can be up and running quickly, a dynamic website can be a more complex process but can offer more possibilities for flexibility and adapting to your changing needs.
Your site online... even for free !
There are different ways to get your site online. Firstly you decide on the name for your site, 'yourbusiness.com', a name you have to register (from $3 per year). Secondly (depending on what site you have - static or dynamic) you need a host where you can upload your site.
Dynamic sites have to be uploaded to a paying host, a static host can be uploaded to a free host.
A free hostname could be 'yourbusiness.netlify.app'. Granted, not a catchy name for a website, but it's for free, forever. You don't have an email address like info@yourbusiness.com, but you can still use your gmail address to interact with your customers.
A paying host provides you the webspace, email accounts and even databases for your information.
You can have your site online for as little as $1 a month.
Stay online... and stay up to date
Once you have your website online, it's important to stay up to date with new information on your site.
This is why we offer 6 free updates for the first year. After 1 year we'll give you a price offer for the updates that need to be done on the website.
With a dynamic website you can upload new information yourself. The layout of the pages stays the same, the information the customer sees can vary, according to the data you upload into the databases.
