WEB DESIGN IN THE BIG APPLE

So You Need Some New York Web Design? Choose Wisely.

New York, New York! The City that Never Sleeps! The Big Apple!

It’s a city filled with creative, innovative, cultural and historical significance. The place is just bursting with memorable moments and each of these provide a branding opportunity. The beauty of a strong brand is that it carries weight beyond reality, and creates a reality of its own.

Sure New York is an amazing cultural touchstone in a lot of ways, but the brand sells the romance of the city, while skimming over the less lovable aspects of living in a large, dirty, sometimes dangerous and unpredictable place. You know – real life stuff.

Branding, then, is the key to winning a market – and ultimately to a successful New York web design. One that sells the sleek and enjoyable and plays down – or playfully spins! – the hard to sell bits.

Intimidated by New York?

It’s noisy. It’s crowded. It’s filled with all cultures and perspectives, competing for their own attention. Much like their advertising spaces, NY is full to the brim already – so how do you squeeze in there?

Figure out why you’re there.

This really should be job one before you start a business anywhere, but for a city that is bursting with an astounding range of business ideas already, it’s a great place to start. You’ve maybe heard that everyone needs an elevator pitch or unique value proposition for their company.

Well, I’m going to step out and say that this is the SECOND thing that should be on your business to-do list, right after deciding you are a budding entrepreneur.

You know you want to start a business. Do you have a solid idea of why others are going to support that business with their cold, hard-earned cash? In other words, do you have a hook?

If you’re not sure, it’s a good idea to do some research into your competition. New York web design is big business, so you’re company should have something online that you can snoop around in. Check it out, formulate your unique selling feature, and write it down.

Decide where people are going to find you.

Are you setting up a storefront somewhere to peddle your wares? Or could your business thrive with an online store? Perhaps you’re hoping for a bit of both, or maybe a bit of one before the other.

Here’s the thing. Your website can be what you need it to be if you get the right New York web design company. We just need to know where we should focus our efforts.

A storefront is a tangible thing. If you need an actual location first, you might want to start with a logo, some business cards, a few flyers. You can then invest in a basic website that lets the world know you’ve hung out your shingle. A basic site, done right, and combined with location-based SEO and advertising efforts can help drive traffic right off the hop.

A well rounded New York web design or marketing company can get you off on the right foot if they know you need to round up the neighbourhood to create a local client base. Let’s say, though, that your hand crocheted, science fiction inspired iPhone covers could be sold easily online with a well designed ecommerce site.

Your New York web designer has a different game to play. Sure, you’re still selling to a New York crowd, but more important is that you hand crochet Star Trek iPhone covers! We’d want to sell that first, and sell New York second.

Choose a Company to Capture Your Energy!

If you choose a great New York web design company, they’ll go beyond simple design to dive into all the details that help you make a success of your online presence. It can be a big investment, but then again, it’s New York. You need a big online presence to be your megaphone.

Capture the endless energy of New York! Let’s build your megaphone so you can let them know you’ve arrived.
