Design | Importance in Web development
Saying that "Design is important but not enought" , should not be misunderstood. We would like to emphasise that we do not underestimate web design or graphic design when building a website. No.... not at all. See our design portfolio examples.
Design is like the clothes we put on for an interview - its important but it should never be enough. If someone wants to gain from internet nowadays for his business he has to look further than the web design of his website.
Desigh is what other people see when they visit your website and web designers must give impressive and yet simple and user friendly design to the visitors of a website.
