Interactive Webpages ~ Web Design
Tips & Trends
Websites have evolved from unchanging (static) webpages into interactive pages offering dynamic information and interactivity (such as online forms). More advanced technologies are being used to create more complex web design that offers new information in real time. Visitors now often expect interactive websites, so they can enter information that is automatically sent to the website owner, or conduct work online using customized web applications.
Online Forms ~ Components of Many Interactive Websites
Primary ways to make the power of the Internet work for you include giving your website visitors ways to
interact with the information on your webpages and to communicate with you. Visually appealing, interactive
pages will capture the interest of your visitors, offer them valuable web content, and encourage them to provide
useful information to you. Customer feedback forms, for example, can be designed to give visitors information about
your products or services and to capture contacts and opinions-- information you can use toward followup sales or
increasing program participation. Forms visitors can use to send in their questions will let you identify market
sectors or audiences with needs your product line can fulfill.
Forms for requesting a quote online give you an immediate way to convert visitors into qualified business leads. Forms for requesting appointments can help increase bookings and free up some sales staff hours for other tasks. Online order forms also free up staff time and let visitors send in their purchase requests at their leisure. We will ensure that data submitted in your website forms is accurately captured and sent to you in emails, or stored in a web database for your access, or both, depending on your work preferences.

Tips & Trends
People don't have any more free time today than they used to eight years ago. Today, online buyers like (and often expect) some kind of online search capability with your product and service offerings. Similarly, if your website focuses on providing community or public information, ask your web designer for page searching capabilities.
Online Searching in User-Friendly Web Design
The easier your visitors can find product, service, or other information on your website, the
more effectively your website can work for you. As part of your professional, interactive website,
Our Web Design Company in Chester County, PA,
can provide clear, user-friendly ways for people to search for information on your webpages. Online
searching is one of the most powerful, valued methods for providing dynamic content on your website.
As part of our web design, we always include easy page navigation methods, such as professionally designed menus
and convenient in-text links. Nicely designed search methods will complement this navigation in highly
informative websites, or in a web design that presents an array of products or services. You can present
your products and services either in basic display pages or as dynamic content in online product catalogs.
Tips & Trends
Clubs, fine restaurants, banquet halls, spas, resorts, and other businesses and individuals offering personalized, professional services, are enjoying the benefits of their website's online guestbook. A guestbook makes clients feel special, and is used to capture contact information from new website visitors. You then can reward them with informative emails, gift certificates, or other specials.
Guestbooks for Personalizing Your Web Design
One of the most elegant ways to capture contact information from your website visitors is to offer
an online guestbook. On one webpage, we can display an artistically designed guestbook that also makes
it easy for a visitor to enter their name, address, phone number, email address, and perhaps brief comments
if they wish. Such a guestbook is especially desirable for website owners who want to grow their print
mailing and emailing lists, thus providing opportunities to increase their base of customers or program
participants. Guestbooks are good choices for web design promoting personalized services such as interior
decoration or home decor, personal services (such as from spas and salons), formal dining, catering, or
antique restorations.
Tips & Trends
Organizations dependent on clients making appointments are finding out they can increase bookings by letting clients choose available services and appointment times online.

Online Appointments ~ Requests or Scheduling
Did you ever imagine your website could serve as a basic online customer service rep or secretary,
with sales and marketing capabilities rolled in? It's true--
Afford Ecommerce
can provide an interactive page that attractively promotes your services, offers available dates and times for
appointments, and receives visitor requests for those service appointments. Appointments can then be confirmed by
you. When you and your staff are ready, we can take you a step further by enabling your website visitors to
schedule themselves for services and appointment times that you identify as available. Visitors scheduling
appointments online would automatically be issued an online printable confirmation or confirmation email. As each
appointment is requested or scheduled online, we can have your website send a confirmation email to your business.
We will provide you with a secure Web Database to support dynamic content such as appointment requests or service scheduling. This includes database support for your online service requests or scheduling, as well as interactive pages for managing your service offerings yourself. These pages will be password-protected for added security. If you desire, we can design additional password-protected pages, from which you can print useful reports on services requested or scheduled by your client.
Tips & Trends
Blog is an abbreviation of "web log". Logging your opinions or comments on the web, or "blogging", is a more and more frequent activity of Internet users. Websites offering blogs enable visitors to discuss a thought-provoking issue, or the merits of a company's product or service, or the merits of an individual's work.
Blogging
It is human nature to want to express an opinion or idea, and to read other people's ideas for
that matter. When you are ready to increase participation by your visitors in what your website can offer,
consider asking our web design company in West Chester, PA, to set you up with blogging capabilities.
You can provide your visitors with a controlled blogging service to comment on issues, products, or services relevant to
your online mission. This will encourage visitors to return to your site, where
you can show them new offerings and increase the potential for additional purchases or participation in
your offline programs. You can use your blog to encourage talk, and thus create free publicity, about products, services
and trends involved in your business or organization. Your blog design can be interactive, allowing people
to post questions and respond with answers.
