Columbus Web Development has been great to work with. They were very
responsive to my thoughts and needs. I had another web site from a different company
but was not satisfied. I will recommend anyone looking for a site to use Columbus Web
Development. Excellent value and quality people.

The UPA
According to Forrester Research: "Today's Web sites, extranets, and intranets
fail when they don't support user goals. Forrester has found that 75% of empowered
consumers return to sites because of high-quality content and 66% come back because of
ease-of-use. So without quality content and good usability, firms won't lure back online
customers and prospects".
When a consumer visits a website, the natural human inclination to illogically and
unconsciously assume that there is a parallel between a part and its whole - we dub this
human propensity as a UPA (or Unconscious Paralleled Assumption). For example, if you
visit a website whose design is poor or unprofessional, or one hosted on a cheap
server, you will naturally assume that the business behind it or the products it sells
are just the same: Poor... Unprofessional... Cheap... Etcetera.
Why Websites Fail
There are several reasons why websites do not achieve their desired results. There
are exceptions to the case as with all market research, yet we have listed the top reasons
in their order of relevance:
Poor Content Management - This is the most common mistake made by web
development firms and freelancers. This is the number one reason people return to your
site or refer others to it. Without proper content management, you simply do not
provide the end-user with the information he or she came to your site looking for to
begin with. The chances of luring them back to your site are greatly diminished.
Poor Website Design - This goes hand-in-hand with proper content
management. In fact, if your website is not designed to fit the content and
functionality that you are willing to put into it, then it is doomed from the beginning. It
is essential that you consider the long-term effects of hiring your "nephew" to develop a
website for your business. Would you let a lawyer that happened to take some medical courses while
they were in college perform surgery on you? Of course not. Then why would you let anyone other
than a Web Development Professional design your website?
If this is not their
FULL TIME profession,
don't you think there
is a REASON for this?
Poor Navigation - When people visit a website, they are looking for specific information
about your company's products or services. If your website is not designed with a good navigation system,
then they will likely seek a competitor that does. It is essential that you provide them
with the easiest means of finding the information they are looking for the moment
they visit your site.
Your Website Loads Slow - This could be due to several reasons. It could be that the
graphics are too large in size, the web server that it is hosted on is slow, there might not be
enough bandwidth, or a combination of these. Nicely designed websites that have small file size
and fast servers with plenty of bandwidth are a necessity when competing in today's high-paced
marketplace.
Poor Customer Service - Have you ever visited a website looking to contact them regarding an
important support issue and find that there is no phone number to call? One of the main reasons
businesses get a website is to improve their customer service and to provide contact information. If people
cannot get the support they need from your website, then you will either be bombarded with phone calls or
worse - no calls. Providing adequate customer services and technical support resources is a key
ingredient in a successful website.
The reason why
our websites produce
the desired results
are because of our
unwavering commitment
to perfection and
attention to detail.
