Designing a website can be as simple or as complicated as you choose to make it, this is going to depend on what your goals are for your site. If your site is not properly designed for the goals that you are trying to achieve it will likely fail.

The main reason that you would want to choose AMOK for your website design and development is that we have the experience that is required to do the job right. This is important when you are choosing somebody to design your site. It is not simply a matter of building a site that looks good. It also has to work properly and more importantly it has to perform the function that you are trying to accomplish with your site. Doing this requires somebody who has the experience to know what does and doesn't work.
The most important thing when you are designing your site is that you have to understand why you are building your site. A surprising number of people build a website because they think their business is supposed to have one but they have no idea of why. The way that you design a site to make sales is very different from the way that you design a site to provide information. You need to decide on what the goal of your site is before you start. More importantly you also have to make sure that the person designing your site understands it. A good designer should discuss this with you right at the start of the project.
A good web designer also knows that your site has to be easy for your visitors to use. In particular this means that you have to have a good layout that allows for easy navigation. This is something that is often overlooked by inexperienced web designers who focus so much on how the site looks that they don't really pay attention to things like navigation. However from your visitors perspective navigation is the most important thing so you have to make sure that you get it right.
These days there are a lot of things that you can add to your website that weren't available a few years ago. This has been both a blessing and a bane for web designers. While you can all sorts of neat things to a website you have to make sure that you do it in a way that makes sense. You frequently see sites that have all of this stuff added even though it apparently serves no purpose. Just because you can do something doesn't necessarily mean that you should. You have to know when to use the new tools and when not to.
