Why Corporate Web Design Works!

There are companies around the world that everyone, regardless of nation, race, religion recognise and brand names. People like Coca Cola, Nike, Pepsi, Apple, British Airways have all one thing in common, a stunning Corporate web design.

Protecting your brand in todays visually rich world means having a corporate web design that not only conveys your business message, but also carries the ethos and aspirations of your corporation to your target audience.

As with any business with a Corporate web design, they were not always so. At one point all of these organisations were set up by one or two people, working on a shoe string budget and a million miles away from anything resembling a corporate organisation.

Over time these brand name organisations, worked diligently to promote their products and services, aquire new business and develop year on year. With the advent of the internet, these corporations continued with the mission to maintain their brands with this new media, by creating corporate website designs that work.

Some corporate web design companies like Apple have totally revolutionised the internet with products like iTunes and the iPhone, totally creating a new market that has resulted in literally billions in revenue for the company.

If Apple did not have a Corporate web design then this would go against all the they stand for, ground breaking design, innovation and stunning functionality. Not to mention the income stream which has spurned the music download industry.

The rules are simple with these organisation, the end result must work and work perfectly to maintain the highest standards associated with their brands. These days corporate web design plays a crititcal role in these organisations in helping to portray their message to the world.

Without a corporate web design, their brand equity would soon drop in value. Make sure your website ticks all the boxs by focusing on core messages and seamless funtionality, it will be worth the effort.

Stand out Retail website design

In this tough economic climate there have been a number of industries that have been very successful, retail website design is one of those business sectors.

The growth of Retail website design has been astronomic since the birth of online retail. Year on year, retail online has grown at a staggering rate and is predicted to continue to a £56bn a year industry by 2014.

The highest growth area for online retail will be in the area of grocery shopping as the population becomes more familiar with purchasing perishable goods online, via mobile devices. And they also expecting strong online growth are online clothing retail websites as price comparison sites begin to include everyday clothing items in more detail.

The key differentiator amongst retail websites is their design. You can find the same product across several sites but you’re more likely to buy from a site that is easy to navigate, looks professional and follows the ‘general’ aesthetics of the majority of retail websites.

Some of the key things that you should consider when you retail website is being designed, is finding a professional retail website design studio. Unlike a brochure-ware or static entry level site, retail websites involve a buying process, and the site must give the user a sense of confidence that the process will be smooth and hassle free.

Professional retail website design agencies like Sizzle Media, ensure that the site not only looks its best but also follows a logical and familiar buying process. If your website is designed properly and allows your customers to purchase in a familiar environment at a competitive price, you can be rest assured that they will be back for more and recommend your site to the people they trust.

Arkadash – Fair Trade Underpants

Unfortunately, Arkadash don’t sell underpants. But if they did, they’d be the loveliest, most organic, most sweatshop-free underpants this side of the Pennines. But, fortunately, they do sell socks. You can read about their unique fairtrade clothes idea here – it seems like the idea is to sell a range of stylish clothes without the miserable working conditions often associated with discounted trendy items. Their website was developed by the awesome Sizzle Media web design company from Manchester, a regional and perhaps global leader in the push for quality affordable websites. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee their sites are free from slave labour, though – web designers are a coffee-driven bunch and many a long day is worked by the Sizzle gang trying to ensure that everything comes together nicely, so our clients can sell their fair trade socks online quickly and easily!

NESTA Creative Credits for Greater Manchester

The UK’s innovation body NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), will be piloting a world-first programme in Greater Manchester offering small businesses creative support to help them to become more profitable.

‘Creative Credits’ will award SMEs £4,000 worth of external creative input for their own £1,000 investment, helping to develop ideas that can transform their company’s prospects. NESTA recently highlighted the creative industries as one of the UK’s most important growth sectors. It estimates that the creative industries will contribute £85bn to GDP and employ almost 1.3 million people by 2013.

Successful applicants will be able to spend the Credits with a creative business of their choice, as long as the latter are registered on NESTA’s online Gallery and their project meets the programme criteria.

NESTA believes that the creative industries can improve the performance of other businesses for example in the development of new products and services and in devising platforms to help businesses reach new audiences, but many businesses are unaware of these benefits. NESTA’s research has found that UK businesses that invest double the amount the average firm spends on creative services are 25% more likely to introduce product innovations.

NESTA’s Chief Executive, Jonathan Kestenbaum says: “UK firms under-invest in important creative services, such as design, compared to other EU businesses. We have the largest creative sector in the world relative to GDP and as we emerge from a difficult economic climate we want to show that the creative industries can be of even more value to our economy. This programme aims to put businesses on a path to growth”.

NESTA is partnering with NESTA Creative Partner, Manchester City Council, the Economic and Social Research Council, the Northwest Regional Development Agency and the Arts and Humanities Research Council in investing £600,000 in the pilot. It will award 150 companies with Creative Credits in two waves – the first 75 will be picked in October, and the second next February.

Hasan Bakhshi, Director for Creative Industries in NESTA’s Policy & Research Unit says: “This is a groundbreaking programme which will have a multiplier effect in terms of stimulating Manchester’s economy – both for the benefit of SMEs and creative businesses. As Greater Manchester is one of the UK’s leading creative industry hubs, we felt it was an obvious choice for the pilot. We will be tracking the development of all the businesses taking part so that we can measure conclusively the additional impact this has on stimulating innovation and growth”.
