Website design and the over all look of a site can be one of the initial most important things about online marketing. No matter what you are promoting, the design, look and feel of your site is the first thing people see when they find you. Its the first impression thing.

Of course your product has to be of interest and your site deliver as promised but the design captures their original interest.

A few days ago after days of testing the new graphics for Soaring4Traffic, checking the new page formats and worrying whether or not everything would go smoothly we took the plunge and uploaded the new template graphics to go live.

Sean Lowery of MinisiteGraphics did a great job in my opinion and the opinion of many who have commented so far. Many thanks to Sean for taking my few ideas, then creating something that we are very proud to display.

Even with new site design done by professionals there is still a need for additional graphics, banners, buttons…you just have to keep things unique and fresh. Maybe you don’t have a website or perhaps the cost for professional graphics are just not in your budget?

Even so, good graphics are a must for your branding needs when advertising in traffic exchanges. Plus its important to change and update them often for freshness.

Little story here…when I uploaded the new graphics, something was wrong, I blew the main index page totally up, the formatting was terrible, even after all the testing I did. Who came to the rescue, Justin Ledvina of Shark Studios fame. Justin was showing me his new site and I frankly was in a panic state trying to get the format done correctly before anyone noticed.

Of course right away, Justin pointed out that I had missed uploading a couple of images. Gotta love it when true professionals can tell you right away what the issue is. Long story short, uploaded the 2 missing images, site beautiful again!

Point to all this is if you are like me, graphics impaired and struggling with how to create top-quality web graphics to promote your latest and greatest program? Or like me in the beginning, lost and not knowing the difference between a splash, a 468 x 60, a button, and a skyscraper? It was all a total foreign language to me.
