Best Web Design

This is a topic I have been giving some thought lately.
What is the best website design?
Is it a website that wins awards? Is it a website that can be viewed in every browser and mobile device?
As a website designer, I see websites from a different perspective than a typical website owner. But, for a change, I am going to try and put myself in a typical business owner’s position and as such, when I think of “best website design” what immediately comes to my mind are not all the things mentioned above. What does come to mind is a “successful” website.
Why do businesses create websites in the first place?
The majority of the time they create websites to promote or sell their products and/or services, so their goal is to have their website generate sales or leads, in other words their goal is to have websites that produce an income.
Ranking high on the engines
In order for a website to be profitable, there are several factors that must be considered as absolutes. One, of course is the web design itself. Two, is the accessibility of the site pages. In other words, how easily does the site come up on your computer? How easy is it to find what you are looking for on the website?
Three, is the search engine friendly towards the site design and construction. In other words, can the search engines read it? You’d be surprised how many websites are NOT search engine friendly (in fact only 15% of websites are!)
At Netklik we offer better website ROI by addressing all three of these factors. Our definition of “best website design” encompasses these three extremely important issues.
How do we do it?
When a client comes to us, we listen to his requirements and we make recommendations about which pages he should include on his website. But to create the website at that point would be a terrible mistake. Why? Because there is one major service that we provide PRIOR to website design, that is Keyword Research.
The importance of the Keyword Research
After we make recommendations about the structure and navigation of the site, we offer our clients our Keyword Research service. You see, the very basic nature of search engines is that Internet users go to a search engine and “type” in a keyword phrase. The search engine then looks for website pages that have that keyword phrase in them. So, if a website is to be “found” for a keyword phrase, that phrase has to be on the website!! But, which keyword phrase should you use? Our keyword research service can tell you. This research tells us the keyword phrases that people are typing into the search engines. Of course, we look for phrases that are related to the website! With the results of this research we are able to find phrases that give us great opportunities which otherwise would have been unknown.
At NetKlik, our policy is to use ONE keyword phrase per website page. That ensures that the search engines SEE that website page as a source for that keyword phrase. So when Internet users are searching for those keyword phrases, the client’s website shows up on the top of the list.
This process is known as search engine optimization and the results provide a client with much greater business opportunities, which translates into better return on investment.

Best/creative ways to get customers (cheaply) for web development business?I work for a small yet top-heavy (I have 3 bosses – and the company is only 7 employees including them) marketing services firm as a web developer. I have various skills & experience including design and programming. I am frustrated at how much money I generate for the company yet how little I get paid, so am seriously considering starting my own firm that would provide web development and mobile development services. I've got some clients already due to side projects, but am nervous about generating enough work to stay afloat especially having a wife & 2 young kids at home. Really I'm not dependent on my current employer for anything besides salary, especially given the fact that we already pay for our own (expensive) health insurance. I've always wanted to start my own company and am feeling that now is the time. We're already poor, so how much worse could it be.
My question is, what would be some creative, effective, yet cheap ways to generate some business for myself?

If you bought your Mac within the last year, you should have a program already installed called iWeb. It's very easy to use and requires no knowledge of HTML or other web scripting languages. You create your site or blog by editing predesigned templates. Adding media files such as photos and movies is as easy as dragging-and-dropping. If you haven't got iWeb installed, you have to buy the iLife suite which costs $79.

If you're looking for something free, try Nvu, although I don't know how well it handles video content.

Dreamweaver is professional package but not that easy to use. A good choice but expect to spend some time learning it.

There isn't a "best" one out there. You want someone who writes inusrance in your area – that's not going to be everyone! Coverage excluding consulting should run you about $1500 a year. Consulting is EXPENSIVE. The last e-consultant I got a policy for, it was running about $3,000 a year, and he was a one man firm.
You're going to need a business policy or package policy for your general liability and contents, plus office exposure, then the professional liability, and workers comp for any employees.
You need to sit down with a local, INDEPENDENT agent, to get a variety of quotes. You'll need to update your agent, as your operations change, to be sure you're still covered.
State Farm, Allstate, Nationwide, none of these companies are going to write you if you don't have three years of prior insurance history – that's why I say an INDEPENDENT agent, instead of one of these agents.
The BEST way is to know your chops. Know the tools of the trade and how to use them.
Photoshop, for instance. It is not enough to know how to run a graphic through a series of filters, or to be able to switch heads from one person to another's, or to put someone in a different scene of to change someone's eye color. Photoshop is an extremely powerful tool with tremendous capabilities in graphics. To use Photoshop only for those purposes I described is kind of like spending several hundred thousand dollars on a high performanc sports car just to burn doughnuts in a parking lot. Lots of smoke and noise, but not particularly difficult and only impressive to someone who doesn't know any better.
You need to learn how to use the tool to it's full potential if you expect to impress clients or a potential employer.
And that's just Photoshop. The same thing applies to the other tools of the trade like Illustrator, InDesign, QuarkXPress, Flash, Dreamweaver (or other web design app) Acrobat Professional, Word, and many, many others, depending on the directions you want to go and the specific uses.
Many of these tools have some common functions. But the REASON that there are so many of them and why it is worth the money that graphics artists spend on them is that EACH of these have very specific uses. You CAN drive a nail with the fat end of a combination wrench, but why would you when you have a hammer available? And why would you use a twenty pound maul to drive a cabinet finishing nail? You use the RIGHT tool for the job.
Take some design classes. Most community colleges will offer these at VERY low cost. If you don't want to invest the time, yet, on even junior college, you can often find classes in some of these apps at local adult education classes.
Or, go the slow, painful route of teaching yourself out of a good tutorial book. (I recommend the Classroom in a Book series published by Adobe. But you have to apply yourself dilligently if you expect to compete with the thousands of college grads with degreess in the arts, all of whom would LOVE to beat you to a job or a client.
Draw pretty good? That's nice, but there were some cave men in France, about thirty or forty thousand years ago that could draw pretty good. But the tools of today require the tools of today.
Start with the relatively inexpensive Photoshop Elements. It retails for less than $100 and does most of the things I expect you want to do. I believe it may also help layout web pages, but I'm not sure if it is only possible with the "slice" tool of the full version Photoshop. Check it out.
I also gave "factdesign" a thumbs up for some very good info on how to start with some basic web design.

CRTs are still tops for color. Mitsubishi Diamondtron, NEC, and LaCie (if you can find one used) are the best I've ever used.
