Working with Mike and 6 metrics to create a full brand identity was great, He was able to provide a design concept before any commitments were made - he supplied us with a website, Logo, business cards, and some other digital stationary at a very affordable price. he is very engaging and timeous with designs. We will definitely be using him for future requirements! More...

What makes a great website?
A great website comprises of a couple of factors, depending on what the purpose of your website is these metrics stay relatively the same with some deviations.
Among many factors here is a top ten list not in order of importance:
1.Responsive Mobile framework
2. Clean design with a smooth flow between content and graphics (it needs to compliment each other)
3. SEO - Writing relative descriptions and positioning header tags can make all the difference in Ranking well with search engines
4. Colour palette needs to represent the brand, having colours that are coherent and don't clash.
5. Content is king, but also to much content without a clear narrative or does not relate to search queries can hurt your ranking with google.
6. The 2 click minimum - a rule of thumb for 6 metrics when designing a website is if the user has to click links or dropdowns more than 2 times to get the info they need. Then we opt to restructure the content or navigation to get best effort results.
7. Designs need to be industry focused, we use industry insights to create the most relative and authoritative layouts
8. Call-to-actions are important for user experience and facilitate the conversion to business leads.
9. Tags and metadata help your content be the most relevant to users, this makes sure users get the data and information they are looking for.
10. Interactive websites are more appealing to users browsing your site, we create an interactive experience that keeps visitors engaged.
