Creative Web Design

It appalls me to no end to understand that an increasing number of website owners today are not much bothered about their website. Website is your online salesman which works round the clock and is very cheap as compared to real salesman. A majority of website owner give the reason "lack of time" for not being able to maintain, update or jazz up their website. But that's like saying "I go to my office in shorts -- since I do not have time"

Having a website or not having a website will be the first impression that you will make on your potential client and as well know "First Impression is the last Impression." Would you want your first impression to be lazy & lousy ? It is no longer a matter of having a website or not, but it's a matter of having a creative website.

Well, in the recent times, when most of the people have awakened to the importance of having a website and looking at the reach and penetration of the internet they have understood the importance of providing more and more information on their website. Most websites provide a lot of information but they are dull, not creative and not attractive at all.

50 years back, when TV was the latest media it was very exciting to have a lady standing in front of camera and hold the soap bar and sales spiralled. But as time went by the advertising on the TV also took new creative leaps ahead. We can draw the same parallel with internet today.

Bill Bernbach, a great leader of last creative evolution, stated;

"You can say the right thing about a product and nobody will listen. You've got to say it in such a way that people will feel it in their gut. Because if they don't feel it, nothing will happen. That's where the creativity comes in." Applied to the Internet Bernbach's words resonate more than ever.

So, finally what makes a website attractive, visually appealing, effective and creative ? That depends on who you talk to. A techie may say you need lots of flash animation. A designer may say it's about the right layout and color scheme. Someone else may argue it's all about blogs. When applied intelligently the latest design trend or technology is exciting. But have you ever clicked on a site you're eager to see only to have to sit through a self-indulgent 30-second flash intro? If the thinking behind the technology doesn't respectfully address the mindset of the person viewing it, it doesn't matter how cool it is.

An exciting, creative, effective website begins with a clear understanding of the target audience and the marketing objectives you're trying to reach. Only then does it take a fresh, simple, memorable creative approach that touches and moves that audience on an emotional level. Accomplishing that takes strategically smart, creative talent. So, if you don't have it, find it. The bottom line is that The Evolution has begun. Don't be left behind.
