At Xiaan Design, we pride ourselves on the vision that we have established over the last few years as a Web design company. As designers, we've been around since the beginning of the Web, and have seen Web design emerge from a means of academic information exchange to an art form.

Have you ever been to a Web site that was frustrating to use? We make sure our site designs are easy to use, easy to navigate and download quickly, even if you're using a regular 56k modem. We build out sites with the average user in mind.

The ultimate goal of a Web site is still the dissemination of information, no matter how you package it. Our designs are clean, uncluttered; they never get in the way of your message.

Here are a few questions that you should ask when thinking about the design of your site:

• Is the site easy to navigate?
• Can you get from one area of the site to another quickly and easily?
• Is the information arranged logically?
• Do pages load quickly, or are you always waiting?
• Is the site easy to read?
• Has the designer chosen an appropriate color scheme that's easy on the eyes?
• Do the pages look good when printed?
• Resize your browser window. Does the page still look good?
• Does the site display adequately on a 14" monitor, when compared to a 17" monitor?
