Web Design
GET Noticed: Web Design
makes the first impression
Quick! You only have a few seconds to make an
impression on your visitor. Will they stay or will they go?
There are so many factors that affect a visitor's
decision to stay: great content, intuitive navigation, calls
to action... but the very first impression that your visitor
gets when s/he visits your site is the design.
Web design is so important
At RB3 Web Design, we create beautiful and usable
designs. We understand that it is the design that pulls it
all together, that makes it work, that makes it special, that
makes it stand out, that leaves a mark, that makes an emotional
connection, that creates a mood, that conveys a message, that
invites you in, that takes you by the hand and leads you along.
A great design means excellent usability.
The website must have clear and consistent navigation. There
must be clear calls to action. There must be headings and
sub-headings to make skimming easier. There must be instructions,
simple forms, and clear directions where to go.
A Website is a team effort
As a team, we will work together until the
design captures the focus of your company.

Our web design services:
>> Web Design
We will talk with you to get your ideas for
color, mood, and the image you want to project. We will
present 3-5 designs to choose from and we will design as
many drafts as necessary to create the perfect web design
for your company.
>> Usability
After your visitor has decided to stay a while
and check out your website, your site must deliver what
your visitor is looking for. Usability is the ability for
a user to easily find his/her way around your website, with
beacons along the way to help your user find what s/he is
looking for and discover new areas of interest that your
site provides. If your site is user-friendly, your visitor
will easily find what s/he is looking for and more.
It sounds simple and obvious. Usability is
common sense, yet it eludes so many websites.
As Jakob Nielson, a usability expert, said:
"On average, websites that try usability
double their sales or other desired business metrics. The
reason? The Web is the ultimate competitive environment,
and users won't invest their time and mental resources in
struggling with websites that violate their right to simplicity.
There's always another site they can visit instead."
We work with usability consultant, Kim
Krause Berg of Usability Effect to test the following
factors of a website:
• User experience
• Consistency
• Understandability
• Information architecture
• Conversions
• Causes for web page abandonment
• Credibility and authenticity
• Desirability
• Emotional connection
• Customer satisfaction
• Navigation
• Accessibility

Programming
We program in ASP and PHP to create dynamic
websites with features such as a catalog, a calendar, e-commerce,
or a program guide of classes. Our e-commerce sites use
X-Cart as the shopping cart program and we use a great team
of programmers for the X-Cart
design.
>> Flash
Flash is a program used to design movies that
add a lot of personality to websites. Flash is great for
picture shows or short movie presentations. We no longer
design all-Flash websites (bad for the search engines) but
we will add Flash to HTML pages. If you want a short movie
on your website, we'll create a beautiful movie to capture
the spirit of your company.
>> Logos, Graphics,
and Banners
If your logo is old and outdated, or just
plain boring, we will design an appropriate professional
logo for your business. If you need a catchy graphic designed
to promote a new item or service, or if you need a banner
or rotating banner designed, we'll prepare stunning graphics
to enhance your website or print media.
