Creating a website is great and it may look adequate to you but how does it look to your prospective customers?

You work hard, for sure, but what might you be losing through a poorly-designed, confusing and half-done web presence?

Is it not worth doing right the first time?

Are you going where the fish are or settling for where you want the fish to come?

It is not enough to simply have a website and Facebook page. They are certainly a start since 45% of all businesses do not yet have a presence on the web. It is essential that websites be kept current, adapted for the user, and above all, be easy, quick and friendly to navigate.

If the customer cannot find what he or she is looking for, the sharpest website ever designed will likely lose that visitor's business forever. Compound that with the authority of online reviews and the reach it can have very quickly - due to the speed of internet communication - your business may not know what hit it before it is too late.

You may have exactly what the customer wants in the precise quantity or quality sought but if he or she cannot find you or what you offer simply, directly and smoothly, nothing has been accomplished and no one benefited. If fact, much has been lost.

Design Doctor exists to prevent that loss and successfully connect what you do with what customers seek.

Establishing and maintaining a strong web participation is simply an extension of the excellence with which you built your business in the first place and work to see it grow each year.

Design Doctor believes a great website and expanding social network do not make success alone. Together with your company's commitment at every stage of your business, an online presence but reflects the excellence that is already central to whatever it is you do.

We begin our look at the challenges facing small businesses not only outlined from statistical research but also illustrated through a number of visualization templates Design Doctor offers to its customers. As we tailor our website design packages to fit you, any of these templates exclusively or in tandem with others are available upon request.

While online retail business continues growing an average 13% year-to-year as comScore reports, replacing brick-and-mortar businesses, what consumers do online is expanding well beyond retail sales to altogether replace daily transactions most used to do offline. So, what are people doing online? How can we hope to reach them without going where they go? A template from Piktochart illustrates well the challenge small businesses face.

Design Doctor also works with a broad range of webhosts from Wordpress and Wix to Squarespace and Joomla and many others. Since we tailor our design packages to fit your needs, let us know what works for you.

Even in a market saturated with high levels of visualized content, webhosts like Webydo and visual template creators like NounProject, Chartgo and Onlinecharttool recognize the importance of simplicity both in setting up your website and visual appearance to the consumer. Conveying essential information, without the clutter of extraneous data, not only avoids the slow load-times of overdone graphics but also frees the consumer to get what they came for and move on with other more pressing online tasks. Chartgo illustrates the authority of positive online reviews.

Column Five over at Intuit has created an infographic exploring further the use of social media by small businesses.

Through Piktochart, we see how crucial a part social media especially and web presence in general does play for business use. That influence is growing every year. While Facebook remains atop the expanding list of online networks, Google+ is clearly vying for that #1 place by next year. The challenge for businesses to tap into this vast area of the marketplace remains. Design Doctor is here to offer your business a wellness-check, to help you operate in what may be a perilous and unfamiliar arena. Effective online marketing calls for preparedness before we brave the cold. Design Doctor is here to keep you fit and at your best. We at Design Doctor want to help your business not just grow but thrive.
