Welcome to Website by Greg. I am a freelance web designer, I work from home in Orange County New York. I have been a web designer since 2002, my designs are unique, not templates, all graphics, page layouts, look and navigation are designed to integrate well and provide my clients with fast loading, pleasing visual design that is also functional.
Functionality - A website is really just advertising for your business that is available on the internet. Not much different than the phone book. A good "functional" website consists of several parts, both seen and unseen.
1. - As mentioned, its pleasing to look at, easy to navigate web based brochure that clearly conveys information about your company, or service.2. - Its designed so you get listed in the popular search engines. google, yahoo, msn, dogpile, etc. They are indexing systems. If your website is not in those indexes, it really serves no purpose. So as part of my web design business, I make sure your website can be found.
3. - Track the site for effectiveness, and improve on its ranking in search listings. This is ongoing, and is a step that is often not taken, but is very important. Like growing your business improving your online advertising brings you a growing number of new customers.
For example, One site I maintain is my wife's Avon site. For that to be effective for her, people have to be able to find it. Without knowing its name, you might want to buy some Avon products, so you type "buy Avon" into google.com. After a while you might decide to try attaching "new york" to that search to find someone local. You may even know that Avon sales people are called "reps" or Representatives. So lets try "avon rep new york" Click the link a new page will open and you can see the search. (hint her name is Cindy)
While this is one example, you get the idea. You may need a house painter but don't know a name, you search "house painter" or jump right to "house painter in new york" or your town.
Sounds simple - but, many websites suffer from poor navigation design, are off topic, or are not properly, or effectively listed in the internet's indexing systems resulting in clients with the impression they are simply not going to get any business from a website. That does not have to be the case, a website can benefit all business types.
I offer "website Packages" that include all the components necessary to showcase your business on the internet. Including the site, hosting, domain name if you don't already have one, search engine management, tracking and using that tracking data to improve the sites position in search queries.

Thank you.
