Informational Websites

A good example of an information website is http://www.memyselfandmentalhealth.org.uk/. It provides excellent value to it’s visitors and has a contact form. This is as complex as an information site will get, there is no advanced forms, checkout process or complicated interaction with the visitor.

Information Site Layout

The goal of most information sites is to provide the visitor with the easiest way to digest your content, this is why layout is so important when creating an informational site.

A conversion could also mean the visitor comes to the website, reads the content and then gets in touch with yourselves. We will discuss with you and determine what the conversion will be for your site and then work that into the design.
