3 Most Important Web Design Tips

With so much emphasis being put on aesthetics these days, businesses are having to make sure that their are up to date with design. Gone are the days where you can just build a plain white website and just write about what you do - these days, you need to do all you can to jump out at potential customers.

There are marketplaces available where you can pay $5 and have a logo designed, and you'd be surprised at how many businesses think that's all that's needed when it comes to branding. If that's how much you are willing to spend on your company image, how can you blame people for not putting any value in it?
