Custom Web Design Approach from the Agency Standpoint
A custom web design project calls for more than custom graphics. Everything from the visual branding, content, user interface and user experience design comes into play. Very few firms and professionals have the skills to deliver everything a custom web design project calls for. At ArtVersion, we have the expertise and experience to customize every aspect of your website’s design to make it unique to you.
What Many Designers Often Do
Many freelance designers will use templates and try to build your site using custom graphics. While you can still achieve a good-looking website, it doesn’t do anything to make the company unique. There are many ways to build a website, from content-oriented sites and minimalist designs to websites that tell a story. What may work for one company may not work for you.
Branding Gives Your Site a Strong Identity
We think branding should be a big part of any web design project. Making sure that the visual elements and content relating to your brand are strong components of the design is essential to giving your website a strong identity. It’s more than just placing your logo site-wide. It’s about integrating it into the design so that it ties into the story and content but not in an overbearing way.
Storytelling Brings It Together
Even if your brand is well known, focusing too much on the brand itself doesn’t add value to users. Storytelling is what bridges the gap between users and your brand. ArtVersion has used storytelling in multiple ways, from using it as content, and weaving it into the sales pages, to making it a big part of the design. Users engaged with stories are more likely to browse your website because they’re not being sold or pushed an agenda. Stories also leave a lasting impression which is the primary goal for many brands.
