There are many factors that goes into a great website design. Aesthetics are among the most important. If your site looks like it was created by a person with no sense of balance or negative space, your site isn’t going to look it’s best. Another factor in the look of your site is how it was created. If you site was created using something like Microsoft FrontPage, it is going to use older programming technology making your site look like it was built in the early 90s. This is not good for the face of your business, nor your visitors.

What else makes a bad website design? If we have already covered the asthetics what else could it be you might be thinking…bad code behind the site!

We have seen a number of sites with bad implementation of modern CSS design or even worse…use of an entirely table driven website. Yuck! It goes even deeper, if you have a database driven website just one poorly written SQL query can affect the whole performance of your site making it slow to load for your end users, ever worse, making it vulnerable to hackers! Now we are not saying we make hacker proof websites or never make mistakes, we are human afterall. But we take every precautionary measure to test your site against hackers and speed performance checks. If your site can be seen by a user on the Internet, it can be hacked in one way or another. That’s why it is good to get into a habit of periodically checking your own website to make sure everything is intact. Afterall, today, most people will check you out on the Internet before they even attempt to call, come in the store or use your services.

You might be asking yourself, how can Stellar be making all these claims? We have been doing this since the early days of the Internet. We have been in business since 1998 and have seen the good, the bad and the ugly.
