Web design is dead!
Before people become too incredulous with this statement this author believes no. Web design is not dead, neither are the firms who are offering such services dead. It was something I heard recently with regard to the proliferation of blog publishing systems and with many sites offering free templates.With the apparent availability of a cheap instant web presence, is there is any need for anyone to sit down any more and learn how to create a website from scratch and all the programming and design skills that this demands, and subsequently for any business to invest in the people who offer that service? Well obviously this statement is something of an insult to all the talented designers and programmers out there, and the million of students investing time into learning these skills, and fortunately the statements are wide of the mark. Businesses do want to hire web design companies, and personally I think it’s in their interests to do so. The purpose of this article is not to simply knock creators of templates, as they are designers themselves – it is simply to suggest that there is sometimes there is an alternative, that will pay dividends in the long run.
Businesses want to cut corners, the market is tough globally – when faced with the choice of spending $5,000 on a site and less than a $100.00 for some businesses it is an easy choice. There are millions of ready to go websites out there, some are stunning, some are quite frankly not. Some are dated, some are not. But my advice to any business would be not to dive into the ‘cheap end’ immediately.
Having a professional web design company design a bespoke website will enhance your brand, it isn’t a necessarily a question of avoiding duplication, i.e risking choosing a cheap template another company is using, it’s about starting your own perception of your business on a strong footing, giving you the confidence in your brand from the outset. A professional web design company will be able to work with you from the ground up to achieve a brand you can be proud of. If you work with a committed web design team from the start they can grow with your company, understand your goals and react to your changing business goals. In that sense they become a valued extra member of your team.
It’s understandable why many businesses strive to cut costs, especially start-up businesses, but in today’s crowded markets and where your on-line presence has become critical, it’s worth listing your web presence on your list of costs as high as your office IT requirements.
When to Hire a Professional Photographer
Want your pictures to be the best possible? Your first inclination might be to just do it yourself. But in some cases a professional photographer can just do a better job for you. Some situations just call for a bit of extra money to be spent on a camera pro. Why, and is it worth it? In this article we will explore the times when using a professional is your best bet. Some of these reasons may seem like a given, others might be new to you.
For Great Family Portraits
Family portraits can be seriously difficult to take. Especially if you are the photographer. Timers can be a pain to figure out. Plus you have to get the backdrop or setting right. The weather should be good, and outfits have to be coordinated. You even have to do the editing yourself. But a professional photographer can help you with all these things. They can suggest backdrops or settings. Some can even give you an idea of a color scheme to wear. The editing side of things for a company should be no issue. So let them handle it. The final product will always be great.
At Sporting Events
Sporting events are terribly hard to capture in a picture. The fast paced action means that pictures often end up blurred or totally ruined if the sport that you are trying to photograph is particularly difficult to capture on film. Sports like rugby, soccer, or American football can be dirty, messy, and not very pretty to photograph. Even worse if you are stuck in the stands during the game. But in even these intense situations, with the right equipment and know how, a professional photographer can capture even these images. And many experienced professionals can get up close and personal on the field.
To Commemorate Your Wedding Day
A wedding day is an event to be remembered for years. Opting for an amateur cameraman can be a disaster in some situations. You want the pictures that you have taken on your wedding day to be of the upmost quality. They should be clear and capture all the looks, feelings, and events at your wedding. A professional photographer can do all this for you, and will even be prepared for bad weather. He or she will know exactly what to do to preserve the look and feel of your big day. And he or she can deliver the pictures in crisp gorgeous high resolution images that you will cherish for years to come. Making a local search on the internet using something like Bridal Photographer Waco TX is one of better ways to finding a reputable company.
