It’s hard to turn a corner on the web these days without seeing something new about Facebook in the various web logs we follow here in Nutwork Web Design.  Facebook is a huge player in the personal social media sector, in fact, it’s pretty the only player worth talking about in the western world.

More and more businesses are recognising that all of their customers are on Facebook now.  Many of our clients run extremely successful Facebook pages.  It’s a great way to keep in touch with your loyal followers and also build your customer base.  A lot of businesses don’t realise that you can now design your Facebook page use the standard web protocols with which us web developers are well versed.

People these days have a very short attention span, especially when it comes to reading on the web.  You may have spent hours writing that 2,000 words for your "About Us" page on your website only to discover that the page has an average visit time of 15 seconds.  Hmmm, that’s not quite enough time to have read until the end.

You need to create content that is both interesting and easy to share in order to survive in the wonderful world of the web.  Here’s how…

The website design

The web design concept follows the style of their branding and stationery. The layout is clean and simple with an emphasis on product images and special listings from the shopping cart. Central is the main content area with room for an intro followed by the specials/product listings. Below this is the news area and shopping cart information. This section will appear on all pages, so the viewer can see the state of their cart at any time.
