Huntsville web design for readers who check the work.

Professional and business services run about 1.7 times the national job share in Madison County, and our read is that this kind of reader treats a homepage like a document. They skim the headings, check the small print and send it to a colleague. 26 of the 41 homepages we tested skip a heading level somewhere, 63% against 47% in our 31-city sample. Faint text shows up on 74% against 62%, a smaller gap we wouldn't lean on alone. Each failure means part of a page came up short. The median accessibility score is 89 against 90, about the same, which tells you an overall score can hide what a reader trips over.

The pages themselves aren't in bad shape. The median weighs 2.76 MB against 3.08 MB, and main content shows in 7.2 seconds against 7.4 on a simulated mid-range phone, about even. Images served too small for the screen turn up on 10 of 42, 24% against 13%, which is worth a look on any page that shows finished work or equipment. Tap-target failures run 26% and 22%, close enough to leave for later. So we wouldn't sell you a speed crusade. We'd work on legibility, order and a way to write to you.

What goes on the page depends on who's reading. A manufacturer needs capabilities laid out like a spec sheet. A law office needs names, practice areas and a first-contact form. A practice needs a plain route to an appointment request. Websites run $1,500 to $5,750 at a fixed price, up to 70 pages, and design fixes are the place to start if the structure is sound. The figures are in the Huntsville report.
