In my Intro to Communications class, I was asked to produce a website that professionally represents myself. Prior to the class I have already obtained a website for my wedding videography business. However, these past couple of months I have wanted to redesign my website. Therefore, I found this to be a great opportunity to release my new website, with its new design. You can find the new website posted on:

Also, here are some links to the old website design, although they are unconnected and not formatted to web standards now:

If you take a look at the differences in the new and old website, you will find that the new website sends a very different message than the old website. This is because of these factors:
Design – The design is cleaner and more organized making it easier for potential clients to navigate. This could communicate that doing business with me is easy and simple.
Testimonials – This new addition will give a potential client the “word of mouth” feeling when he or she is viewing my site.
Simplicity – There are less links and words, which I believe simplifies the website and makes communicating easier.
More facebook links – This encourages the visitor to stay connected and continue communication.
The changes you listed are definitely major factors to consider when revamping a website. The main purpose of any business website is to attract new customers and keep old ones; and the way to do that is to keep the website updated and fresh. Content is always key, so it’s important to understand what’s most vital to your business website. A good design is great to have, but if you have good content, you’re solid gold.
