			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>          Salons/spas always have a rather large list of services that should be put up on the website for customer reference. This is part of the <img border="0" vspace="5" align="right" width="150" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog//images/2008/04/salon-spa-web-design-spa7.jpg" hspace="5" height="148" />content that you are responsible for submitting to the web designer that you chose. Along with your list of services there should also be any of the other text that you can find on the salon/spa website. The welcome text or home page text, the about us page and anything else that needs to be written out. These areas can always be written by someone else and it&#8217;s possible that your web designer has content writers on staff for completing this task for you.</p>
<p>          Images are also important; if you have any that you would like to see on your salon/spa website you need to make sure to get those <img border="0" vspace="5" align="left" width="150" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog//images/2008/04/salon-spa-web-design-spa8.jpg" hspace="5" height="93" />submitted. This would include any pictures of your salon/spa that you want displayed so that your customers can get a feel for what your salon/spa offers and what the atmosphere is like in your establishment. It is a good idea to get these pictures to your web designer/developer right away because without it your project will be held up in progress. A web designer can&#8217;t create a website for you without knowing what is going to actually go into it and they don&#8217;t know what is going to go in it until you show them.<img border="0" vspace="5" align="right" width="150" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog//images/2008/04/salon-spa-web-design-spa9.jpg" hspace="5" height="83" /></p>
<p>          As you can see, this whole step is really mostly up to you and it is an important step. Try to get with your web designer if you&#8217;re having problems gathering your content for the salon/spa website. They will be more than happy to help you figure things out because in the end it helps them along with the project as well.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>          After the decision to make the investment towards a salon/spa website there are a few kinks that have to be worked out. The next steps<img border="0" vspace="5" align="right" width="150" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog//images/2008/04/salon-spa-web-design-spa4.jpg" hspace="5" height="143" /> that immediately come to mind have to do with finding a web designer that is going to take on your project. There are a lot of them out there and the decision is going to be a hard one because each company is different in what they offer and how they go about business. Talking to multiple companies is going to be the best option that you have.</p>
<p>          I would recommend that you talk to a least 5 different companies; now this may seem like a lot and it sounds like it is going to be a lot of <img border="0" vspace="5" align="left" width="150" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog//images/2008/04/salon-spa-web-design-spa5.jpg" hspace="5" height="82" />explaining your idea over and over, and it will be. Talking to this many companies is going to give you good pricing options and it is also good for finding out how companies differ and what the differences are in services and benefits of each company. Your salon/spa website should be built for you at a reasonable price with the best benefits you can find. By benefits I&#8217;m talking about if the company offers SEO or if they have some sort of discount for other services because you will be using them.<img border="0" vspace="5" align="right" width="150" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog//images/2008/04/salon-spa-web-design-spa6.jpg" hspace="5" height="148" /></p>
<p>          When you talk to each of these companies you are going to find that you will be swayed heavily by one of them because of everything they offer. Don&#8217;t hesitate to go with the company that you feel is going to give you the best service for your salon/spa website. The best thing that you can feel for a web designer or web design company is trust because it is so hard to do that in this industry. Deciding is the hardest part and should be thought about for a considerable amount of time before making the final say.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>          Salon/spa websites are far a few between and the decision to have one built is a great investment on your part as a business owner. There are <img border="0" vspace="5" align="right" width="150" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog//images/2008/04/salon-spa-web-design-spa.jpg" hspace="5" height="148" />a lot of ways to market and promote a business and having a salon/spa website is one at the top of the list as far as returned investment comes. With that I mean that although there are many things you could do, building a salon/spa website is going to be the one that brings you back the most business and returns that investment quickly. As soon as your salon/spa website is up you can expect to see a gentle flow of customers that found you by looking for a salon/spa in their area on the internet, most likely from a major search engine like Google or Yahoo.</p>
<p>          How much of an investment you put into the website is going to depend on a few factors, the main being how much functionality you want <img border="0" vspace="5" align="left" width="150" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog//images/2008/04/salon-spa-web-design-spa2.jpg" hspace="5" height="57" />your salon/spa website to have. The more functionality the more of an investment, its simple math. You should decide beforehand how much you are looking to spend on a salon/spa website but also be flexible with this number. This is because if you really have no idea how much web design costs you are most likely going to greatly underestimate your budget. A good idea is to call around for a few quotes from web designers and web design companies so you can get a good idea what range you are looking at for your salon/spa website idea.<img border="0" vspace="5" align="right" width="150" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog//images/2008/04/salon-spa-web-design-spa3.jpg" hspace="5" height="148" /></p>
<p>          Salon/spa websites are not that common unless you are a bigger company with more than one location. That doesn&#8217;t mean that you shouldn&#8217;t consider this type of marketing approach, if anything, it means that you should get a salon/spa website built right away. With the competition out there possibly not having a website you will have the upper hand when it comes to people browsing the internet for salons/spas in your area. Investing in a salon/spas website is going to increase your business and help you grow as a company.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>          Salon/spa web design is one of the smaller areas of web design and this is only because most salon/spa owners don&#8217;t think about having a website <img border="0" vspace="5" align="right" width="150" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog//images/2008/04/salon-web-design-salon.jpg" hspace="5" height="121" />built for their business. I&#8217;m talking about all salons/spas: the major companies that have chains all around the nation and the smaller family owned salons/spas that just have the one location in your local neighborhood. Most of the time the larger companies have a website built for them already and this is because they know that by promoting their business it can only grow larger and larger. That is the point behind having a salon/spa website, to market your salon/spa and try to bring in new customers.</p>
<p>          Smaller salon/spa companies probably feel like they aren&#8217;t in need of a website because they are on such a smaller scale <img border="0" vspace="5" align="left" width="150" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog//images/2008/04/salon-web-design-salon2.jpg" hspace="5" height="114" />than other businesses, but this couldn&#8217;t be more wrong. Any and every salon/spa should have a salon/spa website if they are looking to grow in the future. There are only benefits to having a website that is going to show your services and where you are located. If there was ever a time that a salon/spa could use a website it is now! A salon/spa could use a website the <img border="0" vspace="5" align="right" width="150" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog//images/2008/04/salon-web-design-salon3.jpg" hspace="5" height="148" />moment it starts up.</p>
<p>          Salons/spas are something that everyone woman uses and making permanent customers is how any salon/spa keeps its business going. Customers are going to be grateful that you have a website as well because it makes you easy to look up on the internet. Finding out what your services are and what the prices may be, or what hours you are open, or where you are located or contact information. Get yourself a website so that you can boost your presence in the community and start growing as a business; it only makes sense to invest in this kind of marketing.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Setting up your salon / spa website to function the exact way you want is most likely the most important step in the web design process. In web design there are several different ways to accomplish the same goal so choosing the right one for your salon / spa website might be difficult to think about at first, but it will pay off big in the end.<img vspace="5" align="right" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20payoff.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">You want to establish where you want certain things to be on your salon / spa website right at the get go. Things like pictures, information, buttons, and drop down menu positions all need to be thought about.<span>  </span>If for some reason those things do not look right once the website hits the first revision stage, you can easily have them changed if your web designer allows for it. Most web designers will want to charge for revisions, so be wary of the designer you choose. <img vspace="5" align="left" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20wary.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">If you have information pages remember to have all the information available for your web designer. Most web designers are pretty smart but I highly doubt that they know much about the different types of seaweed treatments. It is your business and no one knows it better then you. It is important to be as specific as you possibly can so the salon / spa web designer and the customer get all the information about the treatments they can. Include what the treatment does for your body or hair, and the types of services and therapies that you offer your clients, and most importatnly the price of each.<img vspace="5" align="right" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20seaweed.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">So many spas offer so many different types of services and treatments that it is dire to make sure you separate your treatments and services form the other salon / spas in the area. Your salon / spa website can look as great as most of the big name salon / spas. But if you do not make the effort to deviate from the mass of salon / spas you will find yourself drowning in it. In the world of small business being different is good. Customers do not like seeing the same thing everywhere they go. And if your salon / spa website is different from the norm you will most likely see the increase in your business as well as your wallet.<img vspace="5" align="left" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon spa web design - path.jpg" hspace="5" /> </font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">With all the different trends in the salon /spa industry, it is essential to keep your business up to date, maybe even be the trend setter. Who knows, if your salon / spa website is a great success with your customers you might see other salons / spas jumping on that band wagon as well. Your salon / spa website can be a trend setting icon in the salon / spa industry. But only if you think outside the box a little bit to come up with something new or improve upon it. You will see an increase in your business due to your salon / spa website, just how much business depends on your ideas.<img vspace="5" align="right" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon spa web design - trend.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Displaying the right image of your salon / spa website is not the only thing that will distinguish your business as the best salon / spa in the area. You also want to be on the ball with all the cutting edge treatments, therapies, and services that are hitting the industry. Even more important is to make sure you have your salon / spa website updated to reflect these new treatment and services.<img vspace="5" align="right" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20edge.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">It seems that every time there is TV program or magazine article about a famous actress or model, the question of â€œhow to do keep yourself looking so great?â€ always comes up. This usually leads to that actress saying something along the lines of using some ancient Cantonese herbal therapy facial or new age acupuncture with aroma dispensing needles. Whatever the case may be people seem to eat it up with a silver spoon. It is no question that most of the population strives to be like one of the famous actors or actresses. It is a nice little fantasy to have. Even though most of us can not have that kind of money or an Oscar, we can still get those treatments or therapies the stars spoke of. This type of thing usually causes a craze in the salon / spa industry.<img vspace="5" align="left" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20hair.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Whether it is the actressâ€™s hair style or spa treatment, all the women in America will be pining for that treatment or hair style. So it is important to keep up on those things, maybe even be the pioneer of those services. That would be the best, to know you were one of the first to bring this treatment to the public. But make sure you put it up on your website. If it is not displayed on a big banner across the page exclaiming the fact that your salon / spa now offers that service, how are people to know? <img vspace="5" align="right" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20prepare.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Keeping your salon / spa website up to date may seem like a hard or expensive thing to do, well that is true if you did not prepare for it. Most web designers can set you up with software, for a little extra scratch, that can allow you to update your salon / spa website easily. It may cost a little more at first but in the long run it will pay off. Think about how much it will cost to pay that web designer every time you want to change something on your salon / spa website. It will add up quick.</font><font face="Calibri"><span> </span>So think about it yes it costs more at first but you can add or remove photos. Change any of the information you wish. Even add new products to the online store if you have one. It will pay for itself after a one update. The cost of paying a web designer to update your salon / spa website would be considerably more then it would be to integrate the software for updating your site.<img vspace="5" align="left" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20pay.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">There is a certain image that salons / spas need to put across to there clients. The importance of that image is almost as important the salon / spa itself. Setting that image up in your salon or spa can be done a number of ways but taking that image and bringing it to a website is a bit of a task indeed. </font><font face="Calibri">You want to be sure your salon/spa website portrays that same image you developed in your salon / spa. It is extremely important to make the customers that are visiting your website feel as if they just stopped in to your salon / spa. There are a number of ways to accomplish this and evoke that feeling within the clients.<img vspace="5" align="right" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20pro.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Make sure your salon / spa website has a great look to it. It has to shine and look very professional. Would you want to step into a salon / spa that looked like a pizza place? Nope, so why would anyone visit a salon/spa whose website looks like a preschooler made it? They wouldnâ€™t. Your website has to look as good if not better then your salon / spa. It just shows those clients that you are a professional and you take your business seriously. So do not leave the design of your website to just anyone. Make sure you research that person or web design company to ensure they do quality web design.<img vspace="5" align="left" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20res.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Taking someoneâ€™s ideas and turning them into a physical object is probably one of the hardest jobs a person can have. This is simply due to the fact that everyone has different ideas and interrupts things differently. Very rarely will you come across a website design that you will love everything about the first time out. In the real world you may like the look of your salon / spa website but the colors may not be exactly right or maybe a few pictures may be a little off. So you have to be sure that the web design company you choose allows for free revisions. Some web design companies we have come across will just pump out a website, toss it on the web and then you can never get them on the phone again. Or if you can get a hold of them they will charge you for your revisions. If youâ€™re paying all that money for a salon / spa website you better get the best service around.<img vspace="5" align="right" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20hard.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">All in all it is important to research the web design company you choose to build you salon / spa website.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Take the time to look around the web at some of the other salon / spa websites that have stores in your area. Look at the displays they have, look at the information they give about services, even listen to the sounds the buttons or animations might make. These things and much more were all planed out by the developer and the website owner. You want your salon / spa business to succeed, so you have to ask yourself what is going to set your salon / spa apart from the rest in your area? </font><font face="Calibri">The first thing a lot of your potential clients are going to see is your salon / spa website. You have to make sure it looks its best and that it has more information and functions then the rest of the salon / spas in your area.<img vspace="5" align="right" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20look.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Some of the things salon / spa website owners might want to try is to have music on their website. If your salon / spa focuses on herbal treatments you my want a new wave earthy type of music. If you have a very modern salon / spa you may want the catwalk type of music that the models use. It is up to you really. We can do whatever you can imagine. Just be sure you salon / spa website has that image you want to portray to the public.<img vspace="5" align="left" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20music.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Another thing you may want to consider having on your salon / spa website is a before and after section. If your salon / spa focus on a lot of skin treatments or hair treatments it may help customers get a better understanding of what the treatments can do for them. Success stories and pictures are always great for your business. This tells the potential clients that others have tried it and loved it, and if it worked for them it my work for you. This marketing strategy has been used since advertising has been around. And the reason it still exists is because it works.<img vspace="5" align="right" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20ba.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Now that you have thought out the image part of your salon / spa website you may want to think about the functionality of the website. The functionality is what you want your website to do. Everything from animations to clicking buttons to get to another page falls under functionality. It may seem like a difficult concept but the web designer takes care of the programming part all you have to worry about is telling the designer what you want your salon / spa website to do.<img vspace="5" align="left" src="http://www.dreamcodesign.com/blog/images/salon%20spa%20web%20design%20-%20full.jpg" hspace="5" /></font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">One of the things that will give you a get advantage over your competition is to make your website full service. Everything you can offer a customer that is not in your store should be offered on your salon / spa website. You could have a section where people get tips on makeup application, hair tips. You can even have a section where people can make appointments though email. Also you can set up an online store on your salon /spa website that offers all the products your salon / spa offers.</font></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">It is that kind of out of to norm thinking that really attracts customers to your business and keeps them coming back.
