It’s no secret that we are very fond of the WordPress platform here at Nicasio. We use WordPress on most of our web projects (unless of course another platform is a better fit for that particular project). Between the open source software from WordPress.org which allows anyone with minimal web knowledge to setup their own highly customizable blog/CMS and WordPress.com which allows anyone that signs up to create a new blog in minutes I have to ask – Is WordPress killing Web Design?

Nicasio Wordpress Design
With technology changing as rapidly as ti does, many business websites that were created a few years ago are in dire need of a redesign. While there were only a few different design elements being used a a few years ago, new and much more creative websites are popping up all over the web. There are many reasons that a business website could use a redesign. You will need to ask yourself some soul searching questions and give yourself a honest answer as well. First, when you visit your current site are you exited about it? If not, there’s your sign. When you are asked for your web address do you find yourself saying “We are working on it” or “We do not have one yet” ? If so, there’s your sign. But seriously, if you are not driving the traffic and page views you use to, then something is up. Does your analytics, and I hope you are running minimally Google Analytics, does it tell you you have a 70% or higher drop off rate? Then you may be bleeding money. Time for a new website redesign. These are but a few things to considered in determining if your business website life cycle has become depleted and is in need of a change.

The design and development of a custom website is very beneficial for any business today. We wont list those benefits out on this article, but we all pretty much know that most successful businesses today have an up-to-date and effective web presence to say the least. Another no brainer is running a company blog. Not only do customers like to read about the company they’re doing business with, but they also like to take a peek into future products and other “special information” that will make them feel like they’re a VIP. Many customers and clients these days like to be informed and stay updated on what’s going on with your business. Remember, you want those visitors to become your loyal customers. A blog is a great way to do just that. The key to having a site do well, however is creating a memory with people. A staying power. Having a site that looks professional and well put together is essencial. No comments have been made... Be the first person to leave a comment.

First in a new series of quick tips we’re going to start publishing on good WordPress Design.
Tip #1: The sidebar is not a Christmas Tree and you should not decorate it as such.
The sidebar of your WordPress site is an extremely valuable area that allows you to show your users content that, for whatever reason, works best when separated from your site’s main content. No you probably don’t need that 3-d tag cloud (where it’s impossible to actually click on a tag – defeating the purpose). Just as with the content of your website, think about everything that is going onto your sidebar and decisions about what should be included there accordingly. Use the sidebar to help your users enjoy your site, not overwhelm them with widgets and useless information.
