Find out some of the benefits that you will get from hiring a professional web designer...


Marty Note
Excellent article and reasoning here. For websites designed by pros I would include: 

* Convert better (caveat below). 
* Be FASTER (very important).
* SEO Better.

I could go on, but why (lol). If you don't want a pro to do your web design after reading those three BIG ones then I'm not going to change your mind with a long list (and good luck to you by the way).

Caveat
My caveat is you pay designers to think about beauty. Great designers like the ones I work with at Atlantic BT also think about SEO and conversion. Not ALL designers think beyond the pretty pictures and that can HURT your website.


Listen for how potential designers think about SEO, conversion and handing the keys to the car to YOU to maintain.

This last idea is the MOST IMPORTANT one. You must learn to fish with the website a designer builds for you. If they create something so complicated only they can maintain it they've hurt your website.


They (any designer) can't move as fast or as well as YOU in your vertical so never get strung out by an overly complicated design and make sure you know how you will maintain THEIR design.

So Many Valentine's Day Gifts for Cure Cancer Starter We've Lost Count, THANKS

So Many Valentine's Day Gifts for Cure Cancer Starter We've Lost Count, THANKS | Thank You Economy Revolution | Scoop.it

The Serendipity of Connections

Discovery only has value if it allows us the ability to discover gems we are not looking for but which widen our horizons,…
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Today started a little on the rough side. It wasn't rough for the usual reasons Valentine's Day can be rough. It was rough because of a battle with a health care dragon and a concern about having enough money to create Cure Cancer Starter, our crowdfunding platform for cancer research. 

Then in quick succession friends stepped in and stepped up giving, giving and giving some more. Here is a short summary of those gifts:

* Friend and fellow cancer survivor @MarkTraphagen shares SEO: Knowing The Unknowable my post from yesterday.
* My friend and great #SMM @1918 (Phil Buckley) told his followers they should be following Mark and me (@ScentTrail)  this morning.

* Mark's recommendation forms a new connection with @DavidAmerland in England and he writes the awesome piece linked at the bottom of my Valentine note.

* I receive an email from new friends @RoswellPark and they provide amazing web development links for Cure Cancer Starter cutting dev costs and time by more than half. 
* I met with my friends Eric and Cynthia Garrison at http://www.wte.net/ and they offer to help create @CureCancerStart. 

* In about an hour @WRAL's amazing visual storyteller Scott Mason, The Tar Heel Traveler will come by to help craft a video about Cure Cancer Starter. 

 

What an amazing Valentine's Day. What amazing friends. 

Thank you, Happy Valentine's!

 

Marty
