What our clients are saying...
I met Sweet Tea Communications at a networking group, and I am so happy I did. I had a working website, but it had problems. I got a quote from another locate company and they wanted to rebuild a new website at a very high cost. Sweet Tea worked with me to keep it in my budget and give me what I wanted. I love my website and they are great to work with.

The Importance of Web Design
A visually-appealing, easy to navigate website helps customers and clients find the information they need, and sets the tone for the company. A company’s website design can make the difference between a sale going through or customers choosing to shop elsewhere.
While many businesses have traditional hours, a website is open 24/7/365, which means the web design should be strong enough to answer questions customers may have when the phones are turned off or it’s a holiday.
The Website’s First Impression
When viewers land on your website, they only take a few seconds to judge your business. In that time, they will determine if your business is professional and current. The website’s design, navigation and feel will provide users with a first impression about your business and brand. A website design that is easy to follow and read can make a big difference. Secure more online clients or interaction with a website design that tells your brand’s story and provides relevant information.
Web Design and SEO
A website’s design can significantly influence how search engine bots crawl the content on your site, and how that information is indexed. Unless your on-page SEO is on the right mark, it can largely affect the visibility of the website. If the design doesn’t flow well or tagged correctly, it can have a negative effect on SEO. A web design should offer SEO-friendly resources that help organically promote the site.
The Website is the Brand
A well designed and responsive website can encourage viewers to take action. It can generate leads and offer more sales. The website is an online store front with a 24/7/365 schedule. This online resource can persuade target stakeholders to take action simply by it’s constant availability.
Outdated and unsecure websites will drive customers and clients away from your business.
Build Credibility
There are countless businesses vying for the eyeballs of your target audience. Your website is only one piece in the branding and marketing puzzle. Customers don’t trust websites that are poorly designed and not responsive across devices. Hiring a professional website designer can help build trust and brand recognition. If the site is easy to navigate, customers will refer others which will build the credibility of your website and brand.
Watch the Competition
Your competitors are already leveraging the benefits of a good web design that can bring them more business. Showcasing your products and services on the website, in a way that highlights the benefits, yet is still easy to understand and navigate will help keep on pace or ahead of the competition.
Consistency
Build your brand with a good, easy to navigate, responsive website design. This online, always open, marketing tool gives consistency to a brand, which is something customers need. A good web design professional, such as Sweet Tea Communications, can maintain design consistency across the site and corresponding marketing materials. It’s important to have the same style, color, theme, fonts and layouts across the website.
A consistent look can help visitors easily find the information they need and keep them engaged.
