Stone aka <a id="aptureLink_6x57CLPlny" href="http://twitter.com/ohdoctah">@OhDoctah</a> runs Inquiring Mindz &#8211; a company focusing on community, branding, and social media.

<p><span id="more-312"></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Hire a professional web site designer who knows what they are doing and has proven themselves in the field.</li>
<li>Make sure the web developer you choose uses web standards compliant code.</li>
<li>Listen to suggestions made by your web designer and, when possible, implement them.</li>
<li>Trust your web designer.</li>
<li>If your site is not popular right away, invest more time and money in advertisement, not redesign.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t give up on offline advertising.</li>
<li>Become informed.</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s one thing for us to say that we make beautiful websites that our clients fall in love with, but it&#8217;s another thing entirely when we get to hear other people say it. Of course, it&#8217;s not always so easy to pass that along to our readers &#8211; however, today we have had the honor of receiving a fantastic design critique from <a href="http://wecritiquedesigns.com/?p=856" target="_blank">wecritiquedesigns.com</a>.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been listed on several design galleries (such as <a href="http://thebestdesigns.com" target="_blank">thebestdesigns.com</a> and <a href="http://cssheaven.com" target="_blank">cssheaven.com</a>) and even favorited on many, featured on some, and chosen as an &#8220;editor&#8217;s pick&#8221; on <a href="http://w3csites.com" target="_blank">w3csites.com</a> (a site that only accepts your design if all of your files validate completely). We were even featured in an article about lighting effects on <a href="http://smashingmagazine.com/2009/05/07/30-examples-of-masterful-lighting-effects-in-web-design/" target="_blank">Smashing Magazine</a>, which was pretty exciting in and of itself.</p>
<p>But none have brought me the sheer joy that this review brought me. It is expertly written and just to see that people really do &#8220;get&#8221; the design and why it is the way it is, well, that just makes all of the hard work worth it.</p>
<blockquote><p>The <a style="outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #0f908d; text-decoration: none; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;" href="http://www.campcreativegroup.com/">Camp Creative Group</a> are a design agency who live by the moto “Fall in love with your design” and it is their very own website that I have fallen in love with.</p></blockquote>
