Flaunt Your Site started out as a simple WordPress oriented website design side gig for William Bay. It’s grown into a multifaceted company, but at the heart of it is the paramount idea of designing compelling websites that reflect who you are, that optimally represent your photography, and are easy to use for your clients.
Here are the cornerstones in which we carefully construct the design of your website.
Purpose: Our first point is to look at the purpose of the website. We want people to take actions when they get to your site. Our mission is to establish the important ones (usually the ones that make you money).
Usability and Experience: If people can’t use your site due to browser incompatibilities or Flash websites on iPads, etc, you lose business. We look for the balance of aesthetic and usability.
Along with usability comes User Experience. What is the experience a user has? Does the site take too long to load? Is it in Flash (the antithesis of usability)? When you click to view your portfolio does it pop open in another annoying window?
We are always seeking the ultimate user experience of a website.
Branding: This is your website? Will your logo set you apart from all the other sites that potential customers are reviewing?
Visual Design: We look at all the visual concepts like composition, balance, color, typography, etc.? We interview you and get a feel for who you are, and what your photography is.
Do you want a delicate feel that would appeal to a new mother? Or does your style of photography lend itself to a bolder palate? Do you want the site to compliment your photography? You may want the design to completely disappear and have a minimalist approach, focusing more attention on your photos.
