Many of the company’s throughout the states are now looking to get their 5-10 year old site redone. Animated GIF files were once cool and cutting edge, the massive amounts of clip-art, it was all cool at one point in history (don’t ask me when, but apparently it was). So what are some key elements to look for when redesigning your site?

• If there is mention of Clip Art - RUN! Stock images have really come a long way. The only time a web site design should use clip-art is when it is absolutely necessary.
• Template sites - the only time a template should be used is on the very low budget sites or if there is no desire to be unique on the web.
• Lack of attention to the service or product your company uniquely provides.  Even if it is a highly competitive service, your company is still unique to what you do.  Don’t let others put you inside a box labeled “everyone else.”  Search for the Indiana Web Design firm and Web Developement firm that puts your company first.

The web is a wide open market for great websites.  The users are board with the same old, they want fresh, exciting, clean and professional.  And they want it fast.  So check into your web designers and website re-designers before you begin a project with them.
