Was not really sure which usually forum to bud this into, so basically posted this while in the wrong one, then I’m sorry.

I left for this bike shop today interested in a new motorbike, and notice while in the window that they had an online site, I though I’ll browse and see exactly what it’s like. I think we could do a certainly better job of designing your website, so was wondering if anyone can give me some tips on where do you start. I know easy methods to design sites already, by the approach: -P.
I haven’t asked these yet, but though I could truthfully get together a new design or two before gonna ask/see them
- No cartoon GIFs.
- Take a better picture for the homepage.
- Put some content about the homepage, so aging look like an affiliate site map.
- Exercise a better coloring scheme, or atleast a more rewarding use of colors. And make sure your text and also background colors work effectively together!!
furthermore of what spluf mentioned…
– total lack of frames
– this background is fat, change it…
– you have to be creaive…
that may be it, good beginners luck!
Come up that has a " look plus feel" for your whole site… at the minute each page has been designed completely separately…. I guess what happens I’m saying is actually establish some consistency throughout the entire site.
Oh, and lose that counter (or hide it)…

Yeah these are all good, I’m intending on creating a number of designs this evening, Anyone got any further ideas/opinions
I accept all above about the designing tips, but I’m nevertheless interested on how you can approach someone who has a web internet site already that sucks (but these people dont know this… ).
On earth do you ask them directly concerning the questioning them will they consider redesigning or review with design tips and wasting your time and efforts if they express no
This is a problem of mine for a short time now.
Most people/companies only either ignore me or just dont admit the site needs job.
I’d point out the problems you see on their internet site, and explain in order to them what you’d do upskill it, and exactly why it’s better. If you ever say " your internet site is bad, and I can make it better", that may be what they assume to hear out of you. But if you ever say: " Your navigation is not yet determined, and I assume visitors are having a tough time navigating around your website. A nav menu throughout the top would help make things easier. " next you’re getting on internet land. You’re showing that potential client which you’ve done a person’s homework, you’ve noticed a dilemma, and you have a solution to remedy a repair. This may create the potential client prone to choose you around their last custom made, because you’ve outlined errors the former designer made. It’s almost an easy method of " proving" that you’re better. Just our 2 cents.
MY OH MY HA! Thats precisely what I’m doing completely wrong!
Your 2 cents will now make me at least 75c more in the future! Thanks for this tips..
What exactly I needed to learn.
Ohw additionally.. Do I technique them in encounter, phone, email will i bring paper with me with all the design faults about it etc or perhaps new ideas…
Basically do it by means of email.. how do i get my e-mail not deleted like spam or to some " other" wordpress website designer.. (Ive been looking through into marketing e-mail etc and becoming noticed,… but it simply doesnt seem to utilize me. I have got to suck.
Thanks again..
There’s no doubt that talking to them at a store would have the most beneficial result. Just be geniune and mention their website, since that’s your knowledge. The less you appear to be a typical telemarketer, the better. Going to notice them will show that you’re interested in them, and you took time to seek them out to always soeak with them. Trying to obtain via email or perhaps phone will more than likely get you result down, as everyone recieves a good amount of spam via electronic mail and phone on a daily basis.
What once they live 300 mile after mile away
This is a big problem, as We would prefer to view them im particular person, as you mentioned.. its more pro and so they trust you far more. With technology evolving, communication with clients is manufactured easier and allows many locations. (i. e We’ve a client throughout Spain, when Now i am in Canada)
Often email, or snail postal mail is my exclusively option.
There’s no doubt that it all comes to having the ability to write a good email that obtains their attention as well as doesnt contain viagra, the patch or perhaps diet pill in the container.
Thanks.. and if you’ll be able to cure the " not spam and really should be deleted" email… that you’re my best friend.
If it’s 300 miles away the possibility that you’ll have the contract is slim. Email is NOT suitable in any way for anyone that you don’t know or maybe isn’t expecting a person’s email already. I can guarentee you on this. Sadly, I’d say quit on this particular one as you are can’t meet them face to handle. Many business owners made their own site and will be offended if a person write them an extended email, while personally you can usually bail if they are not interested or obtain offended. The trick could be to read their move and go on their expressions.
Nice reply..
I can understand you. There’s no doubt that I might carry out just that..
* files away emails if you are over 100 a long way away.
Thanks for the advice… It all helps me to progress in the little dream.
Bless you again..
Instead of obtaining sites that has to be redesigned, work in the opposite direction, and find businesses that happen to be within traveling long distance, and then uncover their websites. The likelyhood are pretty good that you’ll find some regional businesses with also no website and also poorly designed websites. Then you can certainly approach them at a store, where you have a very better chance of landing the career.
Being that you’re only starting, you probably don’t have business cards. If you can’t find a place to have them printed low-priced, find some approach to leave your contact information using them. Whether you complete a flyer/brochure that you give to everyone you approach, or you create your info with a mockup of his or her old website or maybe a proposed different website, leave them along with your name on papers. This way, if they want your services later on, or t
