just for the record

Disclaimer: I know this post might come off as rude, but please try to think of it more as desperate. In this E-age (that’s Electronic age), your website says a TON about you or your business.  A ton.  This post isn’t to convince you to hire me or give me money for consulting.  I mean, if that’s what you want, sure.  I’ll do it!  But please, all you people and business with outdated, incomplete, eye-jarring websites using frames and tables (with borders – gasp!), complete layouts using only primary colors, scrolling marquees and animated clipart - just fix it!

On to the post…

I just want to go on record saying that YES, I do web design, and YES, if you think your blog/website needs it, it probably does. Even if you don’t think so, it really might.

I could talk – er, write about this for hours, but let me just put it to you straight:

If your website looks like this:

or this:

or (shudder) this:

YES! You need a new site!

One of my biggest pet peeves is bad web design (it’s right up there with bad spelling/grammar and my husband loading the dishwasher totally wrong). Seriously, if you’re going to have a website that looks like those above (or anywhere near that), please please PLEASE hire a web designer.  Especially if it’s for a business.  I don’t care if you hire me or some guy from Montana, just please do something about your…situation.

A bad web presence is worse than none at all (that’s an original SouthernMother insight for ya’ll).
