Top 4 Advantages of Professional Web Design

Nowadays, one’s success on the Internet depends a lot on professional web design. This applies to businesses in particular. Although you will come across lots of tutorials, software applications, and do-it-yourself sites available on the web, nothing can be compared to professional website design and that too for different reasons. In the following paragraphs, we will mention the top 4 benefits to hire a professional web design company and why every business must take a chance on professionalism.

  1. First Impressions count a lot

We all are aware that first impressions count a lot. This is true in every sphere of life and on the web as well. Your website will help to attract a lot of customers and they will be able to access you. As a matter of fact, you have less than 6 seconds to grab the attention of a potential client. There is every possibility for you to lose them almost instantly if your website is not designed professionally in an enticing manner with fresh content, simple and user-friendly navigation, plus acceptability.

  1. More sales indicate more profit

There is no doubt that the correct design will help to improve your sales. There is a huge possibility for your sales and profit to suffer considerably in case you are a novice to website design and do not embrace the basic features in your site. When it comes to professional web design company in OKC, every project manager, web designer, and any person that works for the company knows precisely what it needs to produce a money-making website that will help to promote sales, and ultimately generate revenues for you.

  1. Product is highlighted

It does not matter whether you provide 1 product or multiple products, any professional web designer is aware of precisely what is needed to highlight the right products. They have studied your targeted audience and have a good idea about them, what precisely they are searching for, and also how to highlight the products properly for increasing the sales. The same is applicable to services too. You ought to show the best of what can be provided by you so as to convert the site visitors to paying clientele.

  1. Unique

One of the most beneficial things regarding professional web design is probably the fact that your site is going to be yours and yours. There must not be any other site on the web that resembles your site. It might be the fact that you are making use of templates that you come across on the internet or WYSIWYG editors (What You See Is What You Get editors), and in that case, it is possible that many other webmasters have the identical template just as you. It is a fact that every prospective client wants to see something unique and innovative. They hate the idea of coming across the same website design again and again.

After mentioning the top 4 benefits of professional website design at present, we like to mention that there are many more benefits that we have not covered in this post. However, these above four are the main reasons why you must go for a professional design company.

Who Goes First?

Yes, the comic breaks a rule, but you know that rule: “I” is for the subject of a sentence, not “me.” This post is about another rule: Don’t put yourself first! But be sure to read the comment after the comic.

https://www.comicskingdom.com/carpe-diem/2019-08-15

We have no grammatical rule that says not to put yourself first! All it is, is being polite to mention others first. Particularly in scientific writing the author mentions the main researcher, him- or herself, first, and adds associates (mere grad students maybe?) who participated, second.

So if you deserve most of the credit, go ahead and mention yourself first. But use “I,” (or “we”) not “me” (or “us”)!

I ran into a sentence that correctly puts “we” first:

These recent updates, suggesting that climate change and its impacts are emerging faster than scientists previously thought, are consistent with observations that we and other colleagues have made identifying a pattern in assessments of climate research of underestimation of certain key climate indicators, and therefore underestimation of the threat of climate disruption.

He’s Correct, But…

…He’s being a jerk about it. This is why I regularly promise not to correct someone’s grammar unless they ask me to.

I gotta admit, he’s unlikely to forget his PIN, though.

The Janitor Gets it Right

The rule he gets right has to do with the apostrophe when you want to make a word possessive.

If the word you want to make possessive ends in “s,” just add an apostrophe; don’t add another “s.”

Last panel:

But you pronounce the possessive as if that second “s” were there! So it sounds like “Joneses.”

A head locker room attendant is a janitor, right?

Follow-on to the Previous Post

The previous post was mainly about the verbs lay and lie, but it made a brief reference to the transitive-intransitive dichotomy. Here’s an article that got it right, then got it wrong. Should help make the distinction clear.

First the headline, which is correct:

MSDN Magazine will publish its last issue, ending a Microsoft developer era

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/08/microsofts-msdn-magazine-for-developers-will-end-its-decades-long-run/#p3

And the article’s first sentence (it’s the subhead), which is incorrect:

The final issue of the print magazine will publish this November.

“Publish” is transitive! You always publish something! In this case they publish an issue.

  • So to make that second sentence correct, they need to use either the passive (ick) by saying it will be published;
  • Or they need to give the verb a direct object, saying something like they will publish the last issue this November.
  • Or they could use an intransitive verb, saying the magazine will end in November.

See the difference? Good. Now you’re a grammar expert. For practice, go look for a few more examples.

I like pictures in these posts, so here’s a picture of the product that the magazine was all about.

MSDN Magazine's heyday fell firmly in the era of Windows XP Professional.

Correct Laying-Lying Usage

  • Laying something on the table—transitive (has a direct object, in this case, “something.”)
  • Lying on the table—intransitive (no direct object. Just doing it.)

The guys in this comic both get it right.

Frankly, I suspect we’re seeing evidence of the cartoonist’s knowledge of grammar, not his characters’.

She Knows the Weakness of Pronouns

This is a quote from a post on Facebook from the Icelandic chicken group:

This is my best friend’s hen.. her name is Hildigard (the hen) and she is 10 years old… anyone else here with old ladies that they would like to share a picture of?

I bolded the text where she clears up the main problem with using pronouns—ambiguity of antecedent. What, exactly, does the pronoun refer to? That’s why I recommend you avoid using pronouns.

By the way, here is a picture of Hildegard.

Unprofessional Writing

Want to write professionally? About your area of expertise perhaps? Something related to work? Maybe your résumé even?

Then get your mechanics right!!! Mechanics are grammar, punctuation, spelling, vocabulary.

Regardless of your area of expertise, savvy, knowledge, or insight, if you have bad mechanics, you come across as a doofus! Yes, bad punctuation in a paper about magneto-hydrodynamics, or an article about migraine headaches, or a document outlining your job history and skills; these all give the lie to your ability to know what you’re talking (writing) about.

Here are some examples from a webpage that described some articles whose headlines sounded interesting. I won’t embarrass the writer by identifying the site. I’ll identify the errors even though you probably can see them yourselves.

  • Thirty eight million people or more suffer from migraine headaches in America, according to Mirgraine.com. [Hyphenate: Thirtyeight; and they misspelled migraine.com]
  • This 3000 years-old secret to preserving food without refrigeration was invented by the ancient Egyptians. [3000 year-old secret. Adjectives don’t show number]
  • EMPs are bursts of electromagnetic energy which can disrupt or seriously damage electronic equipment. [Should be “…energy that can disrupt…”
  • People with dementia show a different makeup in the bacteria dwelling in their guts, a preliminary study finds — raising questions about whether the “bugs” play some role in the brain disease. [Use a dash, not two hyphens. We’re out of the age of typewriters. It should be “…findsraising…”]

Some of these are sixth-grade mistakes, and all of them are things a professional should know. If you doubt your ability with mechanics, get someone to proofread your work. Don’t look like a doofus!

We or Us?

This is a fairly standard curmudgeonly (okay, grammarian’s) complaint. Is the guy in the last panel right or wrong?

https://www.gocomics.com/inthesticks/2019/08/07

Well, he’s wrong. Somehow that word (it’s called an appositive) between the subject and the verb makes us want to use “us” instead of “we.” You wouldn’t say “us are allowed to be stupid,” would you? Nah, that would be stupid!

Don’t smoke Tareytons, either.
