Professional web design isn’t easy. It involves information architecture, graphic design, usability knowledge, accessible and being up to date with internet and disability laws. So why are some so web design companies selling web design companies cheap then? I do mean cheap not affordable. This is because they are just being signed off based upon asthetics alone. When the Client states a low budget, one which is too low for professional web design, too many web design companies cut down the project’s functional requirements to just a “good looking web design”. There’s nothing professional about that.

Web design is easy but professional web design isn’t. Lots of people put together half decent web design projects using templates but I would hardly call these professional. For a start a 5 page website which is only ever intended to have 5 pages can never be considered professional web design right? Well, I suppose some businesses and individuals only need 5 pages to as a showcase. But true professional web design is meant to grow right? I think so anyway.
