Deeper Shade - web and new media production and development

Why redesign your website?

Your website is your shop window to your online customers. It's from here that they get the greatest impression of your company's brand, it's values, the services and products you offer, and the latest deals and innovations.

A High Street store will frequently change its window display to showcase new products, or will redecorate to ensure the store seems modern and dynamic, and there's no excuse not to treat your website in the same way.

It's important to regularly get your site checked to see whether it's in need of a design makeover or not. Web usage habits change, as do the needs of customers - perhaps the framed solution that worked so well a few years ago isn't working when most of your customers are viewing your site through their mobile phone.

Fashions on the web change almost as fast as fashion on the High Street. That lime green wallpaper that worked so well last summer might not sit quite as well as winter draws in.

A site redesign doesn't need to be drastic. If the site works well and has great usability, it's best not to meddle. If it isn't broken, there's no need to fix it. However even on the best site, there's always room for improvement. See Amazon.com for how they've changed their site over the years. The most successful e-commerce site in history knows that keeping refreshing the design of a site as well as the content is the secret to a long and profitable life.

Some web designers will have you believe that you should be giving your site a visual makeover at least once a year. This generally isn't necessary in all cases, but it is essential to audit who your users are, what platforms and browsers they are using and make sure that your site still has as much impact today as it did on the day it was launched.

There are numerous companies out there that can help you on your way. Deeper Shade provide a full website makeover service which involves looking at the usage habits of the customers you have and the customers you want to have, looking at the latest design trends and revamping your site to ensure it's as cutting edge and stylish as you want it to be.

The unique selling point of Deeper Shade is we don't just design to visually look good, but also bear in mind things like usability and disability discrimination. With this three-pronged strategy, you can have a smart, dynamic and modern site that will continue to attract new customers and be an online presence you can really be proud of.
