What is a Classic Website?

Every day, I receive requests from potential customers who want a "Classic Website". I wonder if my definition of it is in tune with what the customer is envisioning. Clear expectations are important as we aim to satisfy all of our customers' requests and deliver a product that will meet them, and in most cases go beyond their vision.

I asked ChatGPT (AI), and this is what it said:

A classic website refers to a type of website design and layout that has been popular for a long time and has a timeless quality to it. These websites often have a simple, clean, and straightforward design, and focus on delivering information in an organized and easy-to-use manner. Classic websites often utilize traditional web design elements, such as header and footer sections, a two- or three-column layout, and simple color palettes. They are also often built with accessibility in mind, ensuring that users with disabilities can easily navigate and access the information on the site. Examples of classic websites include personal blogs, news websites, and small business websites.

A Classic Website is one that, although it is simple, contains all the design features and functionality that enable online, interactive communication between your business and its visitors. It will have at least five (5) pages, strips, or sections that present your business to the public with a trustworthy image and remarkable branding.

It must incorporate design elements and functionality that generate trust and create opportunities. It must enable your visitors to learn about your products and services in a way that sparks interest and encourages interaction with you.

My type of Classic Website includes:

• An impactful home page

• A descriptive product/services page with a short video

• A Contact Us page linked to your email address with notifications

• It is linked to all your social media channels

• An About US section that truly describes what to be expected from you

From this solid foundation, you will be able to expand in size and functionality depending on the scope of your particular business.
