Here’s what our clients say about us:

"We couldn't be happier with the results of Jeff's work with us on our website! He was very engaged, accessible and responsive throughout the design process and after the site was launched. We were thoroughly trained by his team so that we are able to perform the ongoing updates and maintenance with no help. Our website is well designed in both appearance and function and we consider the project to be a great success. I would recommend WSI without reservation."

Proof That Your Website Could Look Worse

Jeff Harrison - Thursday, January 12, 2012

If a terrible website has pushed you into searching for the best in Maryland web design, just remember your website could always be worse. Like, a lot worse. We've decided to share this PC World slide-show of the Worst Web Design Mistakes from last month as an example of what not to do — and as proof that small changes can make a big difference.

Some of the commonly-made mistakes called out by PC World, like over-clutter of social media widgets and incessant apologizing for not updating, are easy things to fix. Others (poor color contrast between text and background or annoying side scrolling) are more a matter of lack of direction and support from the web designer. Mainly, all of the items on the mistakes list (even the laughably bad ones like the Comic Sans font overkill) are things that can be caught and fixed way before a site ever goes live — if you're working with somebody who knows what they're doing.
