Sometimes under construction pages are necessary. If a company finally decides to build a website, that company should want to get a page up quickly to start soaking up some SEO on their domain. If a website is going through a redesign and the existing website is for some reason problematic, it must come down and a temporary page or microsite must go up in its place. And the rest.
A company I’m working with, Bound’s Cave Oriental Rugs in Cashiers, NC, hired me three years ago to build a site. That site became unmanageable and outdated. It was pulled, and they decided we should go for round two. In the meantime, instead of showing a blank page or logo it seemed that helping their customers with a short message explaining what’s going on and how to get in touch with the company needed to broadcast on the website.
I rolled up my sleeves and built this quick page for Bound’s Cave in about an hour. It’s clean, simple and perfectly explains what is going on. The design isn’t special, but it gets the message across. A small photo gives the visitor a sense of the company.
One hour in, now I can move onto building the real site.
