To the unfamiliar, the whole thing seems almost magical—controlled chaos, like the memorable mopping scene in Fantasia.** On the other hand, everything you see is the result of a carefully orchestrated plan carried out by talented professionals, each one working toward a singular goal. Our role as web design company is to pair the best talents in the industry with a repeatable, efficient process. Magic in a bottle. ## 1. Wow Factor Does your website turn heads without taking away from what it’s designed to do? Does every visual element have a purpose beyond trying to look good? * Provoke action * Create trust * Make an imprint ## 2. Easy to Use Does the design unfold in a way that feels natural and simple? Can you find what you’re looking for quickly and without encountering glitches? * Intuitive navigation * Logical order of information * Responsive & fast ## 3. Clear Message Is there a core meaning behind every word and image that appears on the website? Does it answer the most fundamental question: What do we do and why are we the best? * Meaningful headlines * Content that has value * Search engine–friendly text ## 4. Results Start by asking, what do you consider a conversion? Are you recording detailed traffic data and how are you analyzing it? * Google Analytics * Conversion analysis * Goal tracking ## 5. Presence The site looks great, but is it getting the visibility it deserves? What are the different ways you can get attention online? * Search engine optimization * Google advertising * Social media marketing ## 6. Magic Can you spot the supernatural element that binds every good website together? We don’t know how to explain it, exactly, but we know it’s there.
