Web Page Design New England

If you are looking for the best web page design that New England has to offer - you have come to the right place.

eMagine Communications is the provider of the very best web page design New England has to offer. With six years of experience and over 200 companies on our client list, we know that web page design is NOT just a matter of making sure a company's logo is on every page and that fonts, colors and imagery are consistent throughout the site. Creating an effective web site design is building TRUST with your web visitors through effective imagery, content, layout and USABILITY.

eMagine believes that an effective web page is one that:

  1. ENGAGES visitors with benefit-oriented, updated content in a well-branded, easy-to-navigate, USABLE interface
  2. Adheres to the BEST PRACTICE STANDARDS that have emerged on the Internet in the last year

Web pages are much more than imagery, colors, fonts and branding. Web pages must be usable to the visitors. They must communicate your image, your look and feel to the prospect or you risk losing them to a competitor. No longer should companies be held hostage by a designer with an out-of-this-world vision. The days of letting creative have come to a merciful end - usability is king on today's Internet.

The overall design should convey your desired image - since we know most people turn to the Internet to do their research, in many cases your site is your first and last chance to tell the prospect that you are the kind of company they want to be doing business with. Your design (especially on your home page) should put forth your best "face" - let them know who you are, what you do and what value you can offer them.

Imagery, taglines and navigation are the keys to doing just this. By putting product-driven imagery up on the home page, you risk losing visitors who aren't sure what your products look like, but by mixing them with images of your products, their applications, a descriptive tagline and you are getting your message across.

A common argument (we don't know why any marketer would argue proper site messaging) we hear is:
"Nobody who hits our site is going to need to be told what we do. They wouldn't be there if they didn't know. And if they DON'T know, they're not our prospects anyway."

*** Even if a user has sought you out in a search engine, or visited your site as a result of a marketing promotion, they STILL need a reminder UPON IMPACT that they gave come to a place WORTH GOING TO for them.***

The proper location of the above elements, as well as navigation, sub-navigation, logos and "Utility" tools are all important. As the Internet has matured, people have become aware of how to use each of these elements, but more importantly, they have learned where each should be located on a page.
