Georgia House District 141 candidate Quentin T. Howell came to us needing a website for his political campaign. The website includes a news feature and email marketing sign-up option that keeps supporters up-to-date with what’s going on in his campaign. They can also get involved on Facebook and Twitter, contact the candidate, and become more directly involved in Howell’s campaign by making a contribution through PayPal.

About Outdoor Creations

Web design firms often have little time to spend on designing their own websites.  As the old proverb says– the shoemakers’ children always go without shoes.  However, we have finally launched the new and improved GoebelMedia.com. We are excited about having a fresh and modern look and a lot more quality information to educate our clients about what we do.

1. Keep it simple. The most memorable logos are not cluttered and easy to see and read. Most people are not going to stare at your logo but glance at it to get an idea of what your business is all about. You should shy away from graphics that are confusing or too abstract.

In this logo designed for “The Green Boutique,” the font choices and imagery is simple, subtle but gets the message across effectively.

2. It should look good in black and white or color.  Your logo will most likely be seen in black and white at some point, at the bottom of a document or something similar. Make sure your logo lends itself to be seen either way.

        
This logo designed for EAS, or Electrical Accessory Sales, lends itself to be seen in color, grayscale, or black and white.

3. The color scheme should go well with your business.  Whether bold or bright colors are used should depend on your business. The color scheme says just as much about your business as the rest of the logo.

 
Milledgeville Cares is a non-profit organization that brings agencies and faith-based intitutions together to provide support for those in need in the community. Soft, warm colors express the organization’s purpose well.

4. It should stand the test of time. Logos that are too modern often go out of style quickly and make your business look out of date. Keep font choices simple and classic.

Timeless fonts, imagery, and color scheme was used to create this logo for Dyer & Johnson Insurance Repair.

5. Avoid elaborate details or have a version without them. Some logos look better with a subtle gradient or shadow but you should have versions without to use for different mediums.

         
The Outdoor Creations logo was created with a subtle gradient but for some mediums, solid colors always work best.

The site allows users to get information, make a donation and even sign up to become a CASA volunteer.  The site is managed through a CMS which allows CASA to easily make updates to site content themselves. 

We are very excited to announce the launch of ShopLocalMilledgeville.com, a new community site that encourages citizens of Milledgeville to shop locally. 

The site allows business owners to edit their own profiles and add information like business hours, logo, business description and more.  Businesses can also add events and sales to the community calendar, create coupons and add articles.  There are more great features currently being developed for this site as well.

Over 75% of web users skim the text on a website instead of reading the content word for word.
How can you optimize your text for web readers?

• Write small chunks of text or make lists.
• Create headings and subheadings.
• Write about 50% less than you would on printed material, such as a brochure.
• Italicize or bold key words or ideas.
• Each page on your website needs to serve a specific purpose and have specific content. Don’t clutter your content.

Statistics say web users spend as much as 80% of the time “above the fold.”
First things first!

• Put the most important and keyword-rich information first. This isn’t an essay that needs an introduction before getting to the “meat” of the content.
• Avoid incredibly long pages of content. Most people are not going to read it!

Search engines need to know what your business is all about!
What good is your website if no one can find it?

• Anticipate what customers and potential customers will search to find you!
• Use geographic key terms as well as traditional key terms about your business.
• Make a keyword list before writing your web content.
• Extra tip: Update your content frequently! Search engines wants to know your business is still around!

The web is an active medium! Keep your user engaged!
Web users are fickle. They go from web page to web page and usually have something specific they are looking for.

• Predict what your customer will want to get from your website and be precise in providing that information to them.
• Write actionable content. That is, content that allows for action to be taken.
• Use contextual links. These are links within your content that link to other pages on your website or blog. Whenever you write “contact us,” link to the contact page.

Keep an appropriate tone and use effective language!
Don’t eliminate potential customers.

• Keep in mind that most of your website visitors aren’t experts in your field; try not to use too much technical jargon.
• Use simple language and short sentences.
• Avoid cliches, sarcasm, or sayings as it may confuse some.
• Use active verbs.
• Be personal and direct. Keep a conversational tone rather than a formal one.
• Extra tip: Remember to check your site content for spelling and grammatical errors. This will give you less credibility!
