Home Appraisals Inc gets a new mobile website design

Mobile website design
Home Appraisals Inc depend on their website for their income. Of course everybody should consider their website to be that important but for this client business is conducted via his website. And it needed to be a mobile friendly website.

Working with a client who knows what he wants
As much as it can often be demanding to work with a client who knows exactly what he wants it never the less is a real pleasure too. Contradiction for sure. But it really does make it easier to work with a company where the CEO knows what works and what doesn’t. After all his website has to deliver on search and on sales being closed. That’s the bottom line.

It’s a pity not more clients view their websites in this manner. Let’s just put a brochure style site up doesn’t really do it for the client. Really. There has to be a purpose behind the website otherwise why spend the money to put one up. And surely the purpose should always be to attract more customers/clients/followers/sign-ups or whatever the website owner needs.

When you hand out your company brochure what are you doing it for? To get more business. Of course when you hand out a brochure you also have the opportunity of making that face to face sales pitch. Your website needs to take on the task of that face to face sales pitch as you are not going to be lurking around in cyberspace all the time to be able to perform this important function. Your website has to take over.

More business is always better
Getting more enquiries or more business is always good. If you are busy enough then here is your opportunity to increase your business enquiries and have the luxury of charging higher fees and being more selective with whom you take up as a client.

Commercial Real Estate Appraiser – Mobile Friendly Website

And we did it a second time around
Commercial Real Estate Appraiser was the second site we did for this client. We developed the new logo and repurposed the existing grid that Home Appraisals was built on to accommodate the new entity. This way client could save himself a lot of money.  Changing the top with different images also helped to make sure the websites felt a little different.

Let’s hope this website is as successful as the Home Appraisals one. It should be. Both the Home Appraisals and Commercial Real Estate Appraiser sites are sales focused and sales driven.

There are many great INGOs operating in Vietnam. This one is in Hue and supported well by American Vietnamese living in California. FHF looks after health, orphaned and needy kids and micro finances small enterprises. And they needed a new website design.

Yeah Can decided to truly give images the exposure they deserve when designing this new web site. Especially photos of Vietnamese children, who must be amongst the cutest kids world wide, make for great images.

Have a look at these images of the new look web site. Isn’t it amazing? Visit the site to see how beautiful these images are and how powerful the site is to show people what this amazing organisation is doing for the people of Hue.

Well done Friends of Hue Foundation and all its wonderful staff and volunteers who work there to make the lives of people in Hue so much easier.

Zacarian Appraisal Services new website

One more property appraisal site going mobile friendly

It’s great when one good job leads to another good job. In this case it certainly worked like that. Team Yeah Can had hardly completed the Home Appraisals site, adding the Commercial one to the fold, and a new client from the other side of the United States operating in the very same environment approached the team for a new site.

This time the brief was completely different. The Home Appraisal site is a full on ecommerce site where visitors are encouraged to get a quote and pay online. In the case of Zacarian Appraisal Services the client wanted more of a public relations effort rather than a full on sales focused site.

Wonderful images make all the difference
And he gave us fabulous images. What a difference it makes when the team can work with high quality, copy right approved images. It lifts a website. It’s something that clients tend to want to save on, buying good quality photographs. Regrettably.

The web is a visual medium. People react well to images and allow themselves to be influenced by great images. How do you feel at a spectacular sunset? Most people feel awe and wonder. In the same way other images can influence our thinking in different ways. So why not use really good images on your website to persuade visitors that your product and service is worth having.

Sliding site
Sliding sites are starting to get fashionable. And this site certainly lent itself to this format. It’s a newish trend to make a website scroll down rather than asking visitors to hop from menu item to menu item where each page is the size of the monitor.

Gone are the days where scrolling was out and ‘below the fold’ was something to be avoided at all cost. Perhaps the fact that websites are now viewed on small screens could have something to do with the fact that people are slowly letting go of this very ‘print’ focused concept.

Below the fold
Most people won’t even know what below the fold means. It was the term used by the newspaper industry. Newspapers were sold folded over and presented by newspaper sellers with the top half of the newspaper visible. This is where the big headline and image hat to be to persuade people to hand over money for a paper.

A print term hardly has a place in web terminology surely. After all we don’t fold over a website to wave it around on the street corner. In fact what the mobile web has done for us is finally weaned us off print. We don’t read websites anymore like we did with print brochures i.e. one page after the next.

Mobile friendly works differently
What the mobile friendly web has done is force us to scroll. Yes. Past the fold. Always. If we were to stick to the fold when dealing with websites that are viewed on smartphones, and won’t they all soon.. nobody would get to see more than one image and read one paragraph. There is no end to how far we can scroll. There is no longer a fold.

Have a look at Zacarian Appraisal Services brand new website and see what the web has done to how we handle websites. This is where the trend is going to be heading towards. Be open to this new way of dealing with information. And get used to it. For the short term this is how websites will be viewed. Can’t say what will happen in the future of course. The web has changed so much already. Anything is possible. Yeah.
