Landscaping Web Design: Code Blue
February 20, 2008 8:20 am         After making sure that everything is ready to go then you can just sit back and relax, right? Think again! The whole time that you are 
having this landscaping website built you should be on alert. Not because anything bad is going to happen but just because you should be keeping track of your project. You don’t have to do it every day but once a week or so is good enough to let your web designer know that you are waiting and that you care about your landscaping website.
         After your website has been successfully completed there are a few things that you should take into consideration. H
ow are people going to be able to find you? Does your web designer offer any type of SEO (search engine optimization) to be done on your site once completed? Are you advertising to the areas that you should be? All these questions have to do with search engine optimization. If your web designer does not offer SEO you should still get it done, somehow. SEO is very important for a website, especially a landscaping website. With SEO you can be sure that you will be found in the areas that you actually service. I mean, who wants to advertise in California if you work only in Illinois?
         Having no SEO work done on your site will make it hard, for those who are looking for a landscaper, to find you on
a major search engine; and that’s the point of really having a website. Promoting your business and being found by those that didn’t even know your name in the first place. Having good SEO work done on your site will help you come up higher in the natural search on most search engines. It takes a lot of work and patience but it is worth it for your business in the end. For more information on landscaping web design check us out at DreamCo Design - Landscaping Web Design.

your landscaping website. There are so many choices involved in building a landscaping website that you really should sit down and think about each of them. I talked in my previous posts about what is involved in each of these areas and you’re more than welcome to go back to them at any time. After you do all the hard work, there still are some things that you should have before going to a web designer to talk about having your landscaping website built.
websites that look appealing to you. You can look through hundreds of landscaping websites to find an attribute of one that you want in your site. Anything from the colors to the way the page moves, it’s really up to you how you want your site to look and feel. By visiting these other sites you can get a good grasp of what you like. Write down all of these things on a list and show it to your web designer so that they know what you want design-wise from your landscaping website.
thoughts about. Your web designer is your key to understanding the world of websites. Listen to what they have to say and take it into consideration. I’m not saying that you have to do everything they say you should, but that you should just take the advice and think it over. For more information on landscaping web design check us out at 
designer. This is probably the worst and most crucial part of your whole website project. Having to choose a web designer is like pulling teeth to most people. The process of having to go out there and pick someone to hire that you are going to trust with your company’s image and your money. There are plenty of web designers out there to choose from; just waiting for you to offer your project to them. So finding a web designer is not going to be the problem, it is sorting them out that tends to be the problem.
two; price and loyalty. The pricing comes down to this, one person versus many; a web design company is going to have many people working for them and a freelancer is going to be only one person working on your whole landscaping website. This means that it is usually going to cost a bit more to go with a company than with a solo person but you have to think about what you get with a company as compared to a freelancer. A company is usually a bit more professional and can offer you things that a freelancer cannot. Freelancers tend to be somewhat limited in what they can achieve where a web design company can do almost anything.
forget about you, not pick up the phone, and disappear if they want. An established company is going to stick around and make sure that they are satisfying your needs. You have to really think about what you are looking for and what you are expecting out of your landscaping website. Be picky in who you choose and be sure that you feel comfortable working with them.

very important to showing your previous work, there is a whole website dedicated to your landscaping company. There are a few other pages that can be included in your website; things like the home page, about us, your services page, and any other that you want included. The home page should be a quick introduction to who you are and what you do. This is the first impression that customers are going to get from your site and you should think about what you want written here and how you want the design to look.
 The about us page is going to be just that; a page for everything about your company. This page should be filled with good background information that people are going to want to know. That includes things like, when your company was started, what area you work for, and everything your company stands for. This page gives the customer a good idea of who you are and what they can look forward to when working through you.
basic landscaping website. If you have more ideas for functions that you want from your site or extra pages you should definitely talk to your web designer about it. There is nothing wrong with not following the norm; standing out from the crowd will always get you noticed in one way or another. For more information on landscaping web design check us out at 
built and you are not limited at all in design. There is one thing that you should be sure to have on you site though. I’ve been talking about it and mentioning it in my last few posts on this topic, images. There is nothing more important on a landscaping website than the pictures of your previous work. Think about all the people who want to see what you’ve done before so they can make a decision on if they would like to use your services or not.
There is plenty of important information that is going to be included on your website; your services, contact information, your about us page. A customer is going to want to see if you are going to be able to match what they want in services and they are going to want a visual to go along with it. Your images should be organized and clean. Make sure to be taking pictures at each landscaping job that you finish, and try to get the best shots. Use a decent camera and take a lot of pictures. That way you can go through them later and pick out the best ones to represent you.
comparing a steak to a piece of bread. Although the landscaping company that doesn’t have pictures may be very good at what they do and have been known to be one of the best, the fact that they don’t have any pictures to show for it is kind of disturbing. The question comes to mind, “if you’re so good, why don’t you want to show it?” Think about using images to help show your professionalism.
