Do Good Design

Recently I realised that there was a real demand for simple, inexpensive 4 or 5 page websites and that Do Good Design should start doing them, our way.

A 5 page website to get you started

I call these “starter kit” websites, because many folks will start out with this kind of website and then upgrade to a much more sophisticated website later.

Starter kits websites are for people who need something they can put on their business card, that gives people an idea about what they do without requiring too much time or effort. Or money. Ours cost £475 or $950.

The one here is one we just finished for local wine merchant, The Longship.

I wasn’t sure at first I wanted to do this kind of website, because there’s only so much these websites can do for you.

Customers aren’t going visit your “Services” and “About Us” page and come away with all the information they wanted. They can’t buy and pay for something on your website, for example.

And if a website isn’t doing its job, but is just there to look pretty, then it’s worthless.

Taking the first step towards a professional image on the web

But then I realised that many people need something to get them started, to establish themselves and their business online. To go that one step beyond a blog or their self-built, amateur website.

A professionally designed and built website, even if it’s small, shows customers you’re a professional. It says you take what you do seriously and they should do the same.

Having people who do what they love get taken seriously and do well in business is something Do Good Design was created to do. So we’ve created this package so people can get a custom website they are proud to show off to potential clients and customers (and friends and family).

What’s in a Starter Kit website?

With a Starter Kit website package, you get a colour palette, logo, custom design, and 5 pages.

I also work with clients on how to write and edit your content for the web and search engines, which is something very few web designers do.

It’s my experience that it takes doing both the writing and the design well for a website to work. Actually, it takes 4 steps to get a good website.

What do you look for from a website?

I look forward to this new adventure, and would love to hear from you about what you’re looking for in a website.

Do you have one? Do you like it? What stops you from getting a professional website?
