Website Design in Traskwood, AR

The customers. Sixteen pixels is the practical floor for body copy, and plenty of sites read better at seventeen or eighteen, particularly where the audience skews older. Size is only half the problem: line length matters just as much, and text running the full width of a wide monitor is tiring at any size, so hold paragraphs to roughly sixty to seventy-five characters. Line height around 1.5 and real contrast against the background handle the rest. Fitting more on a page isn't a win if people stop reading it — cut the copy instead of shrinking it.

You can launch on one page, but you'll want to split a few things fairly soon. Each distinct service people search for separately deserves its own page with its own heading and description, because one page can realistically rank for one main topic rather than five. A single-page site also makes it awkward to link someone to something specific. Our usual starting shape is a home page, one page per meaningful service group, a page covering pricing and hours, and a contact page. That's four or five pages — something to expand later rather than something to rebuild.

It can, but only if the index is built to include them. Most built-in search functions index page content stored in the database and nothing else, so files sitting in an uploads folder are invisible. If those documents matter, the better answer is usually to stop burying your strongest material in PDFs — publish each case study as a real page and offer the PDF as a download alongside it. Pages are searchable, linkable, readable on a phone, and capable of ranking. If the files genuinely must stay as files, you'll need a search service that crawls and extracts their contents.

That's exactly what wireframes catch. Working in plain boxes forces the question of what occupies the most valuable space before anyone has invested in how it looks, and "where does the urgent path live" is precisely the decision that gets skipped once everybody is reacting to a polished picture. It also exposes content nobody has written yet, which is the other common cause of that kind of gap. A wireframe round runs a couple of days and produces something you can argue with cheaply. Arguing with a finished design costs a great deal more.

Check whether something is setting a cookie on every request. Most CDNs refuse to cache a response that arrives carrying a Set-Cookie header, on the assumption it might contain something personal, so a single analytics or session plugin firing site-wide can quietly disable HTML caching altogether. The tell is images and stylesheets cached while pages are not. The fix is to stop issuing session cookies to anonymous visitors, limit that behavior to the pages that truly need it, and configure the CDN to ignore harmless marketing parameters so one page isn't cached under a dozen variants.

The nameserver change took your mail records with it. DNS holds both the record pointing your domain at a web server and the MX records directing mail to your provider. Switch nameservers to a new host and you inherit that host's default zone, which contains their web records and usually no MX entries for your mailbox. The fix is to export the full existing zone before any move — MX, the TXT records for SPF and DKIM, any verification entries — and recreate them at the new provider. Do that a day ahead with short TTLs and there's no interruption at all.
