It’s a new year and time to throw out the old and bring in the new. The same is true with your blogs, business sites, personal sites, and others. This is especially true for the business site owners out there however. People are looking for a new beginning away from the stresses and obstacles of yesteryear. As someone owning a business or as a designer of web applications and web sites you will need to think crisp, clean, brand new, shiny, fresh! Emotionally, this is what people want for their new beginning, and who can blame them? I mean, isn’t this what you want too? I know it’s definitely what I want.

That’s not all we want though is it? No, we also want success to come with our renewal in the new year. We want to see a year that promises a future of prosperity and success. Marketing your site in the correct manner is a large part of that. The most simple of choices can also be your most crucial mostly because peoples emotions play a large role in their decision making when it comes to a purchase. If you are a site owner you will look at the colors to decide how they feel when you look at your site. If color plays a big part of your logo and company image, as it well should, then the color scheme is even more important. You can still go with most any color you wish for your site theme but you must consider what tones and/or shades of your company colors will work well and still convey your color mood.

The way things are arranged within the site and how they are displayed all plays a big part. In our previous year many of us will recall times of hard decisions, loss, difficult and complicated matters. Of course someone would want to shed these feelings and memories and convey a feeling of renewal, a fresh start, a new start that promises prosperity and success and is uncomplicated and easy to understand. We will want to convey this in our designs, our web sites, our applications. This is a marketing no-brainer if you really think about it.

So don’t be afraid to use large, bold type with fonts you normally would consider a little too relaxed. Use bright, vibrant colors that reflect a shiny, new day! The bottom line is if we all start spending money again in the big picture prices and the economy will begin to relax and heal. Jobs will come back and things will get a little easier and we can all go back to complaining about the little things that bug us in day to day life. For now, if you own your own business and want to rebuild or build your first on-line presence then you must think of all these things. Hopefully you are going with a nice, stable CMS like WordPress. I highly recommend WordPress for use in business ad other types of web works when you need something that is easy and stable to use. There are many others that are very stable and have some nice features such as Drupal or Joomla but WordPress still stands out for the wide variety of free and pay plugins available and it’s very user-friendly interface, design, and layout.

So build those bold big buttons, bright colors, nice large and fun type web sites. Keep information easy to navigate to, only the facts ma’am attitude, easy to use and you will be on track for the new year!
