Your first website is the hardest. What colors do you want for your design? If you have a logo you can “brand” the website with those colors. What if you don’t have a logo? Not to worry. Many of my clients don’t have a logo. Don’t let this stop you from taking your business online.
Some business categories have identifiable colors. The auto industry leans toward red, white and blue color schemes. Medical facilities — blue tones. There are classic color schemes which are appropriate for business and others geared toward entertainment websites full of bright color combinations.
Try to find 2-3 websites you like. This will greatly help your web designer begin creating your custom layout and is a big time saver. Getting the color design you are happy with is the biggest foundation step. The better prepared you are the more efficient the website creation process will be.
Color is not your thing? Some of my clients have no idea about color, and happily let me create 2-3 designs for them. They choose one, and we’re off. You can be as involved with the color scheme as you want! It’s about having choices.
