    i dont know i should give the answer to his question or not as i am not very much experienced.
    But as much as i know i think if the website design is beautiful and you have presented your content in beautiful manner you will surely get benefit. A good website design helps in attracting more customers and if the content you have provided is unique, original and copyrighted then you will get 100% benefit

    This is my concept please correct me if i am wrong. I am new in this field and don't have much experience.

    Its all well and good having a great or fanstaic looking design but....If your copy is not good enough and layed out well enough you will probably not see as many sales as you should.

    For me the whole site should be comfatable to the eye as well as appealing at the same time and related to the subject matter, the copy should be well writen and again layed out well, All in all the 2 should go side by side and one or the other should not be emfasized more than the other.

      As a writer myself, I have always given more credence to the copy I produce, but over the years I've learned a great deal about website building too and I've now reached the stage where I see the importance of both as about 50/50.

        Design will bring them in; the copy will capture them. As said earlier, one should compliment the other. A semiotical approach will give presentation step one, followed by content. But, content is what you are selling. Make it great!

    Design is of paramount importance. Copyrighting should also be very well written and professional, but I seriously doubt if anybody really reads more than a few lines. They are usually more interested in what you have done in the past and the clients you have. Each page should have a visible call to action button directing customers to the next step.

    Hi Mark,

    I wanted to know if you can refer me to a source for learning web design without having to take a college course. Any internet tutorials and sites that specialize in the web design training would be awesome. Also are you familiar with shutterstock? If so, do you know of any tutorials that could assist me with using the photos and backgrounds in creating my websites. Thanks for viewing and I hope that your evening is going great!

    Design to direct, copy to persuade.

    Nobody has ever thought to themselves 'Damn! That blue to white gradient is f*cking hot - I've gotta buy from this guy!'.

      Really good point. The design must also communicate trust.

    Hi Mark, I am new in this topic, here is my opinion
    copywriting skills is priority if we want to make website more profits
    but by good looking web design, it will atract more attention

    so copywriting and web design is two face of one coin
    thats my opinion

    The text is the most important part of your website. Make no mistakes there.

    I totally agree that you must have copy that is compelling to capitalize on visuals that grab their initial attention...
