Web Design Standards for KC Web Specialists

We all as web designers want our customer base and potential clients to be able to use our websites in a most efficient manner. We don’t intentionally try and confuse them, it would be counter intuitive. For this reason, there are web design standards that we here at KC Web Specialists use to keep our clients customers happy. We are not saying that our website designs are cookie-cutter.

Web Design Standards for KC Web Specialists

Does KC Web Specialists use web design standards?

Standard in this sense would be a majority of websites that use the same types of elements. In the following list, we will discuss why these elements are considered standard for our website designs.

Responsive design
We have made a shift in our web design standards, making responsive design our main focus. Google wants to know that your site is mobile friendly, so we implement this practice across the board. But it isn’t a web design standard for all sites. There are still websites out there that you just can view correctly on a mobile device.

Logo
People here in the United States tend to read from top to bottom, left to right. It comes as no surprise that the logo is at that spot. It is a visible reminder that you are with the branded company, assuring you that the information you are going to be looking at comes from the source you are expecting.

Navigation
The main navigation located in the header at the top of every page, making horizontal top-level navigation a web design standard.

Slideshow
Home page slideshows are a web design standard for KC Web Specialists. If the client does not wish for a carousel slideshow, we at least give a static featured image.

Search
Having a search feature in the header is important for some clients. When people come the website from a search engine, they might not find what they are looking for right of the bat. Instead of making them scroll around, they can search for exactly what they want. These insights can be invaluable to the business if they are properly tracked.

Social media
We include icons for social media websites in the footer. We recommend adding social media icons to all our clients.

If you are looking for a website that follows these web design standards, consider giving KC Web Specialists a call.

Everyone on the team at KC Web Specialists is skilled, caring, responsive and responsible. They did an awesome job creating our website (gcath.org) and answered probably 1,000 questions we had. They helped us stick to a reasonable time line to get this done, and were very patient with us as we figured out the various elements and functions we needed and wanted for our site. It's a comfort knowing they are not fading into the background now, but will be available for training and support moving forward as we need them. Pick this team for your next website need.
Response from the owner:Thank you Suzette. Being the Web design and SEO answer folks is what makes us happy :-) Glad the timeline worked for you all and look forward to being your ongoing local Website development support team. Thanks again.

They are very easy to work with. Creative, professional and keep your project on track! They even helped us with changes to our site long after our project was completed. I would recommend Chris and his team to anyone wanting to build a website!
Response from the owner:Hi Angela, thank you so much for the kind review. We like to think of ourselves as your local Web design partners. We're there when you need us. Whether it's two days from now or two years, the sites we build are made to last and we appreciate that we can help if/when the need arises. Thanks again,

KC Web Specialists have it together. Period. I am President of a Kansas non-profit and we recently had their team work with us to create a new website. Every step of the process was a positive experience. Everyone was timely, professional, and thoroughly skilled at what they do.

In addition, I'd like to call out two people--Chris Nastav, the owner, and Jeff Forrester, a staff member who offers support and troubleshooting. You can't find more exceptional service anywhere.
Response from the owner:Hi Sandy, you're the best. Thank you so much for your trust in KC Web Specialists, LLC. for your non-profit Website design project. You and your team were fabulous to work with. Happy to be your local partner. Thank you again for the kind words.
