If you have been looking at the web for as long as I have, you've seen plenty of sites that turn you off for one reason or another. They're more concerned with flash than substance, they take forever to download, or they make navigation of the site just about impossible. I have actually seen sites with more than 1 meg of graphics on the first page. I guess that's fine for people with extremely high-speed connections, but it doesn't work if you want your average visitor to actually explore your site and see what you have to offer.

   As you can see from the look of this site, I believe that a clean site design works best for focusing the visitor's eye on the information you want to present. Tell your visitor who you are, what you do, and why you're what he or she may be looking for. Anything beyond that is just in the way. This doesn't preclude the use of eye-catching graphics - it's just an acknowledgement that they shouldn't be the focus of your site. Okay Design can give you the best of both worlds. This applies to personal sites, too. If family members are visiting your site to look at pictures, show them pictures - not a bunch of graphics.

   One of the worst things a website can do is to make visitors guess where to click to get to the information they're looking for. Some sites expect their visitors to interpret hieroglyphics or dig down into the text to find pertinent links. This will never happen at a site created by Okay Design. I will ensure that your visitor will easily find the information you want to present. Clear links, intuitive categories, and simple navigation around the site mean that people will effortlessly find what they're looking for.

   Unless you're one of the lucky few who have a cable or DSL connection, you know how tedious it can be to wait for a website to load up in your browser. You don't want to wait, and your visitor doesn't either. To this end, Okay Design will ensure that your site downloads quickly. And it's not just a matter of graphics - if you try to load too much text into one page, you could run into the same problem. I will take into consideration the amount of text on individual pages to make sure your copy doesn't lag behind your graphics.

   If you've decided to put a website online, you're doing it for a reason. To present your products and services, or to share photos with family. Okay Design will see to it that this effort isn't wasted on a website that doesn't fulfill its intended purpose.
