Web Design: Mighty Sites' Philosophy

Purpose of good design
The site's purpose is to serve the needs of the client's customer. Technology should be used to help the site's visitors and creators meet their goals, not to puff the designer's ego or show off the latest fancy web tricks. We use technology to bring our clients message to a world-wide audience while maintaining a professional tone and a trustworthy presentation.

Navigation
Information must be laid out in an intuitive, traditional, or easy to see format. Clear, consistent, navigation tools must be readily accessible. Innovations that the visitor can't figure out just frustrate web surfers and make them decide to look elsewhere.

Graphics
Graphics should be kept small in file size, and suited to their task in appearance. Animations and flash have their place as attention-getters, but graphics should be subordinate to the web site content.

Marketing
Each web site has its own natural customer or audience. Our goal is to make information readily accessible to that audience through on-line and off-line methods at precisely the time the customer needs it.
