Web Design · Boise, ID

Boise web design a homeowner can read on a phone, in the driveway, looking up at the roof.

31 of 42 Boise homepages we tested failed the color-contrast check, against 62% in our 31-city sample. We'd fix the type before we choose a single photograph of your work.

A failed contrast check means some text on the page sits too close to its background. It doesn't mean all of it does. Here that's 74% of sites against 62% in our 31-city sample, a gap we wouldn't wave off, on a modest sample. Construction jobs in Ada County run about 1.5 times the national share, and a Boise contractor's site may be what a homeowner checks before calling. A reader like that may want the small print, and small pale type on a photograph is the last place to put it. We'd start from the words, in dark type on a plain ground, and add the photographs after.

The rest of the design checks argue against a full teardown. Tap-target failures are no worse, 14% against 22%. Skipped headings are about the same, 47% against 47%. Median page weight, 2.74 MB against 3.08 MB, main content, 6.5 seconds against 7.4, and the speed score, 67 against 61, are all about the same on one run per site. Photographs are where a builder or a roofer will be tempted to overspend, so we'd caption each one with the job and the town, and size it for a phone. A law office has fewer pictures and the same trouble with pale type.

Websites run from $1,500 to $5,750 at a fixed price, up to 70 pages, and online stores start at $2,500. Lead form capture and online booking are on every package's list. If the design is fine and the type is the trouble, a design fix may be enough, with repairs from $149. Read the Boise report for the full test, then take your phone outside and try your own homepage.

Web Design in Boise: questions we hear.

Do I have to give up my hero photograph?

No. Move the words off it or put a solid panel behind them. It's among the smaller things a design upgrade can do, and the photograph may look better without a sentence across it.

How many project photographs should a Boise contractor show?

Enough to prove the kind of work you do, and few enough to stay light. We'd use under 2 MB as a target on the homepage, which 35% of the sites we tested met, and put the larger galleries on project pages. Compressing images comes first.

Will better contrast bring in more jobs?

We can't promise that, and we didn't measure it. We'd do it because a reader who can't read the page can't be persuaded by it. If you'd like an answer for your own site, count requests before and after.
