The importance of good web design
Research shows that we judge websites harshly and quickly.
The right website for your business needs to provide relevant content within a beautiful layout, with a fresh and modern design. When finding a website that appears dated or cluttered, a potential customer receives a poor impression about your company. Alternatively, a clean and professional web design builds credibility and trust for your brand.

Don’t settle for a template that doesn’t represent your brand.
Is a ‘Web Designer’ really a designer?
Many so-called web designers use a templated ‘theme’. Gerrish Design uses a website ‘builder’ theme. The key difference between the two types of themes is that website builders allow designers to do exactly what they do best — design. Instead of pre-designed assets and layouts, builder themes give designers the tools to create good-looking websites – based on your needs, your content and your brand.

If website design is the number one factor in making a good first impression, why put this in the hands of anyone but a professional designer?
