Mashable had a great article today for small business website design. A good reminder that your website is your face, your pickup line. Something simple, direct and reflective of your style is always best. Check out Salt Films‘ big hand solution
Mashable wants to de-cheese you!
1. Keep it simple (You are not Amazon.com yet)
2. Be Scroll-Conservative (Endless homepages scare people)
3. Display the Right Links (About, Product, News)
4. Keep Featured Products Above the Fold (Don’t hide your pride)
5. Make it Current (Consider having your active Twitter feed here)
6. Create a Homepage that Reflects Your Physical Theme (If your storefront is Red, no sense making a blue site)
7. Attach a Featured Image to Your Homepage (Make it easy and attractive for people to share your site on social media)
8. Be Quirky! (Show your self!)
