Opportunity/Need for Moorestown NJ Website Design

Analyzing the current business environment and growth opportunities in Moorestown New Jersey

The small town Moorestown NJ is an especially desirable location for a homebuyer or business owner to settle down. This white collar community boasts some of the best schools and safest neighborhoods on the east coast. A decade ago, the nationwide reports recognized Moorestown NJ as the best place to live in the United States, and it’s continue to place highly on best real estate lists and marketing reports ever since.

Moorestown NJ’s most common occupations are management positions, followed by sales, followed by office and administrative work, followed by medical practices. The nicely groomed parks like Strawbridge Lake, and the nicely maintained community center are some of Moorestown’s treasured resources. Don’t underestimate the business opportunities and networking potential of this small Jersey town outside of Philadelphia. They’re doing something right, over there.

Besides the locally famous Moorestown Mall, a zillion private law firms and business establishments, and the academically dominating schools, Moorestown doesn’t have anything exceptionally special or interesting. It’s just a simple town full of beautiful houses and home to a strong community of successful adults, growing families, and retirees. Hockey is a popular sport among the youth since there is a huge hockey training center just a short drive away- the official training center of the Philadelphia Flyers.

Read through this article carefully if your business is located in Moorestown NJ, or if you are planning to establish a company there. Your online presence is a huge piece of your business image and identity- Even if you’re NOT paying attention to it, your website says something about your business, good or bad.

In addition to the most obvious features, there are many little things that make a website design great and effective. Top marks go to beautiful websites that have useful information AND are doing the types of things that make them attractive to Google, while also providing a positive user experience. Through our search, we came across some good and bad local examples of Moorestown New Jersey websites. Here’s what we found

1. Hypno Designs – www.hypnodesign.com 

Numerical Score: 75/100

Design Grade……… B

Features Grade……. C

Content Grade…….. B

Authority Grade…… C

The folks at Hypno did a good job on their website.  It might seem “obvious” that a website design company would have a good website, but alas, that is actually not the case way too often.  Their use of typography, color and page layout was terrific.  I love their brand message “happy” and how they committed to it and support it throughout the website.  Well done!  I do feel that the content is a little thin on the website.  They could definitely give more information to educate their website visitors.  Also, the lead capture opportunities weren’t really explored fully.  I am certain they can find something of value to offer to capture website leads.  Our suggestions for improvement to make the site even better:

• Do more with the dropdown navigation.  Be a little more creative, add some color or some icons or something … it’s too bland, too forgettable.
• Add more content.  Maybe a blog? … but also include more in-depth description of each service, your process, etc.
• In the website portfolio, I would recommend giving a more detailed description of the project.  What the primary design objectives were, etc.  A little insight about why things were done the way they were done could be very enlightening.

Good job though folks.  Stay Happy!

2. Perfect Communications – www.perfectcommunications.com 

Numerical Score: 68/100

Design Grade……… B

Features Grade……. C

Content Grade…….. C

Authority Grade…… F

This is a solid website with a few fairly serious flaws that need to be fixed.  If they can get these items spruced up, they will have a website to be proud of.

I love the way they layered their social proof on the home page (testimonials and company logos).  Their print work (under WORK) looks wonderful … in fact it looks spectacular.  Seriously.  I think I may hire these guys to do our printing.  That being said, they really need to show this off in a better way.  The photos should be staged better, the images should be able to be blown up to full screen, there should be way more samples and examples … and most importantly, there should be a CTA (call-to-action) that offers people something of value in exchange for their email address.  There are hundreds of strong offers they could make.  This marketing company needs to do a better job marketing themselves online

The load time may be their biggest problem.  This is a very slow loading website.  The pages take way too long to load.  The number one reason people bounce from a website is because of slow load times.  This needs to be fixed!

The second issue is the navigation.  Each individual service should come down as a dropdown under services.  Normally, I wouldn’t care about this so much, but their site is so slow to load that I don’t want to have to wait for any more pages to load than is absolutely necessary.  While we are talking about their services, I feel they included the MINIMUM information relating to each service.  I would suggest to the folks at Perfect Communications that they may wish to work a little harder to give value to their website visitors by educating them more.

Finally, the website is rating very poorly with Google in terms of TRUST SCORE and DOMAIN AUTHORITY.  As a result they are coming up poorly in search results.

On a personal note, I actually like this website quite a bit and the company looks solid.  It’s amazing how many things can still be improved upon, even with a decent website.

3. Harvest Seasonal Grill and Wine Bar – www.harvestseasonalgrill.com  

Numerical Score: 66/100

Design Grade……… B

Features Grade……. C

Content Grade…….. D

Authority Grade…… F

The Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar boasts one of the better restaurant websites we’ve seen recently.  The photos are excellent and they used them well.  The design centers around the photos – which is exactly what should happen when you have a collection of great photos.  I would love to see them pay more attention to their individual locations.  A little background about when each individual location opened and a few paragraphs about the communities they are in would add something special to each page.  As it stands now, there are really only menus and location information.

They aren’t making any real attempt to connect with their customers socially, which is surprising to me.   Talking about connection, the OUR STORY page should include photos of people!  (not just at the bottom of the page).  The photo next to “Our Story” is of a plate of food?  The photo next to “Our Commitments” is also of food?  People!  It’s about people! (and the experience).  Get some photos of either your founders or your customers … you need people to connect with people.  They missed it here.

Finally, their Google numbers (like so many sites we review) are very low.  Trust score, domain authority, backlinks, social signals, etc. are all super-low.  If they are hoping to have long-term success online, they should think about improving in this area.

High Potential Examples of Moorestown NJ Website Design

There are a lot of websites that kind of fall in the middle. They’re not good, but they could be worse. Most of these “high potential” website design examples are placed in this category because they scored low on our evaluation, but the businesses themselves are so great that we see a huge opportunity for success. Here are the local websites we found that don’t stand on their own yet, but could be absolutely killer if they made the right moves.

4. Starlite – https://starlite.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade B

• This is a tough one- The homepage landed this site the bottom of the list, but once we dug in deeper, we realized this is actually one of the best of the high potential sites group. The homepage is a creative attempt but it makes poor use of the most valuable past of a website- the homepage, above the fold. What you see before you scroll is the most valuable, in terms of real estate. This homepage and the other pages seem to get it backwards.
• On the other hand, the content itself and the organization of content is excellent. What a cool story behind this local company! Really, really awesome job by the owner, who registered the name “Starlite” at age 11. How cool!
• Great photos, really incredible work, and they are placed nicely throughout the website. It’s just a shame you can’t tell that content exists beneath the photo until you scroll. There are a few ways to better approach this without compromising the dramatic integrity of the design.

5. Speakeasy Creative – http://www.wespeakeasy.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade B

• This business concept and branding style is very innovative and cool! The colors and theme and mission- everything pulls together really well, except for the photos of action figures- that throws it off big time.
• The social media accounts managed by this company are not very impressive- so that is a red flag since they offer social media services for clients.
• Since content marketing and blogging is one of their services, it’s a good thing their blog is legit. We’ve seen so many horrifying sites and blogs by companies that claim to provide web design and marketing services. Thankfully, this site is not one of those.
• It’s a fun design. Headings move when you hover, the photos are black and white in contrast with the bold background. It’s visually interesting.

6. TruMethods – http://www.trumethods.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade C

• This website was SO CLOSE to earning a B grade, based on design and content, but the structure and user experience held it back. It’s very overwhelming when you get to the homepage and it’s not clear what path they want to first-time visitor to take. A ton of separate calls to action. Things are just all over the place, like a website case of ADD.
• TruMethods actually looks REALLY really cool, and the Schnizzfest event seems legit! I know there’s a better way to communicate what the company is about, and what they offer, and show the ties to this event- without overwhelming the visitor and losing their attention. One thing about the event photos- where is the diversity? It says anyone is welcome (provided you want to be more awesome) but every photo shows basically the “same guy.”
• Thankfully, this website works famously on mobile devices!
• Great videos on this site! I like how they have customer testimonials in simple video format. That’s an awesome idea.

7. Upland Business Capital – http://uplandbusinesscapital.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade C

• This design is very clean and looks great, visually speaking. There are icons and headings and nicely placed imagery.
• Functionality-wise, the site isn’t so good. The clickable icons don’t lead anywhere. There is a blog button but no blog connected to it. Even though the homepage looks good, there is nothing beyond it. Nothing.
• Branding-wise, this falls flat. Where is the logo? It’s possible the cool look of this site is a generic template and not designed for this company at all.
• At least this website is mobile-friendly. Everything looks modern and new- perhaps the design was revamped and launched a little too soon? It’s just not ready, but there’s huge potential here. It would become an A-grade later if the web designer does a good job for Upland Business Capital.

8. Christopher L. Baxter Law Offices – http://www.new-jersey-dui-defense.com 

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade C

• This homepage is cluttered and overwhelming. Too many calls to action. Not clear from a user experience, especially for a first-time visitor.
• Branding wise, everything pulls together nicely in this website design. It’s not common to see red used as a business color, and done in a way that’s visually pleasing. Great job on the color palette and use of white space.
• The site loads on a mobile device, which is good, but it’s tough to use.
• Where are the outbound links? Especially tied to the news articles? Linking to high authority sites actually helps your website’s trust score to go up.  Linking to onsite content helps to keep visitors on your site longer, getting the specific information that they came for. It’s a mistake not to incorporate hyperlinks into the text, especially when there are many paragraphs of useful information.

9. The Evergreens – http://www.evergreens.org/

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade C

• Initial thoughts: Great design here. It looks very professional.
• One major thing that this site is missing is a blog. What better opportunity for a content marketing platform?
• The webpages are full of helpful information.
• What is this “create your own brochure” feature all about? That is a very strange feature for a website like this. At first, my thought was that they used a print shop template for this site and forget to delete the unwanted elements. But I believe they made this an option so people could customize their own brochure. It seems like a very strange feature to offer, and I doubt many people use it. The best way is to have a marketing point of contact so people can request special promo materials as needed, and the company maintains control over the design and distribution of such. Just a very odd approach.

10. McDowell Posternock Apell & Detrick, PC – http://www.mrpattorneys.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade D

• Finally, a website with an updated blog! There’s tremendous value the content.
• This site has original photos that are high quality and fast loading. Definitely a plus! A few of the shots are out of focus, but overall they’re very good.
• There is room for improvement with the organization and layout and presentation of content. Way too much crowding and unnecessary confusion.
• An events widget shows up at the top of the homepage (above the fold= the most valuable part of the site) and there are no events. We don’t expect a law firm like this would have many events. This is probably a useless element and an oversight by the web designer.

11. AMD Law Group – http://www.amdlawgroup.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade D

• We have a love/hate view of this website. Some elements are great and others are so bad it hurts. It looks like a few people had a hand in designing this site, and it’s a too many cooks in the kitchen problem.
• The blog is great- updated, informative, relevant. It could use help with presentation and adding visual elements and inbound/outbound links, but the content is solid.
• Contacting this company is far from easy. The contact page is the worst part of the site. Instead of typing in the fields of info, there’s a big image slapped onto the page, so you can’t copy/paste the phone numbers or email address. There’s no embedded form which is standard these days. Even the contact info in the header is not clickable. Rookie mistake- going to impact your conversion rate.
• Social media integration and responsiveness are some of the more modern elements to the site.

12. Begley Law Group –  http://www.begleylawyer.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade D

• This is a so-so website design. Not bad, it’s but nothing to write home about.
• We found a wealth of information through the pages of this website. I wish there were dates on the blog posts and news updates. It’s tough to know how current the info is- and that’s usually the website manager taking a shortcut and trying to avoid posting updated info.
• Not bad in terms of visual elements. The images add nicely to the pages.
• Do these guys know that Google penalizes sites that aren’t mobile friendly?

13. Alexander and Associates – http://www.alexander1040cpa.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade D

• At a glance, the website design is clean and professional. Not a bad layout.
• Eek, there’s sadly no mobile version of this website. That’s a big no-no.
• The web pages and service descriptions have information, but the website doesn’t offer education. They are not the same. Since there are three CPAs working at this company, it would be smart to have a blog rotation posting schedule to offer valuable content about financial wellness and taxes. It’s a missed opportunity to neglect to use content marketing.
• A professional photographer would make a world of difference here. The stock photos are tastefully chosen, but the photo of the office exterior/sign is very low quality. Not to mention, there should be some photos of the CPAs on here, no doubt.

14. Dash Farrow – www.dashfarrow.com

 Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade D

• Time to rethink the visual content on this site. The only photos that “fit” are the headshots of the attorneys and the hero image on the homepage which isn’t bad. (but it’s not compelling, either) The clip art of the dollar and stock photos at the top of most other pages do not look like they belong there.
• There is a blog so that’s a very smart step- but the publishing is sloppy. There are typos even in the headings.
• Definitely the most valuable part of this site is the news section showing a high profile case where the ruling was in their favor. They should make this more of a focal point and add more success stories to the site.

15. Gold Gerstein Group – http://www.g3cpa.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade D

• This is a tiny-faced website like the old-school designs used to be. The dimensions are shrunk down and it wastes a lot of space on the in margins.
• The design is nothing special. It looks like a generic template. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a mobile-friendly element to it, so that’s a big issue.
• Some TLC would do this website good. There are links that don’t go off-page and other rookie mistakes that are easily corrected.
• The most valuable part by far is the GGG news page, which is structured like a blog. The posts themselves could use work from the presentation of content to the optimization and keyword placement. They’re trying to show authority and expertise, and this firm has a lot of potential if they are willing to revamp their online presence.

16. OPEX Corporation –  https://www.opex.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade D

• The website design is old, generic, and lacks originality and branding. It doesn’t look modern and it doesn’t function like modern sites do- not mobile friendly, not reader-friendly, and lacks social media integration where it matters most- the blog posts.
• The blog is doing an excellent job. Content-wise, they’re making all the right moves and their posting regularly. This is a huge advantage. The text size is on the small side and there aren’t any categories or tags for easy navigation, but those are minor tweaks that could be made.
• Digging in deeper, it’s clear that this Moorestown NJ company is hugely successful. They have locations in UK, France, Germany, and Switzerland. For such a solid business, we’d highly recommend revamping their website design so it can continue to be used as an effective marketing tool

17. Michele Finizio – http://www.criminalcourtnj.com 

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade D

• The website design that we see here is mediocre, at best. It looks like a template, the same headshot is used again and again, and a few stock photos are thrown in here and there.
• So many websites are still not responsive, but at least this one is mobile-friendly.
• This website’s awesome blog definitely helped earn a few extra points.
• The testimonials page and social proof in general is lacking. Where are her credentials? It should be clear right from the homepage that this individual is a solid, experienced and successful lawyer. This is a crucial element in such a competitive industry as legal practice.

18. The Studio for Yoga – http://www.thestudioforyoga.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade D

• The branding on this site looks pretty good- from the hero image at the top to the subtle pattern in the background. If this is a template, at least it’s been modified enough to fit the image of the yoga studio.
• For some reason, the web pages are severely overdone. Lots of cluttered info. The classes and schedule should be their own sections. It’s a shame that more care wasn’t given to describing each class in its own section and showing a photo. It looks like it was a rush job, even though this is the most important information on the site.
• Sign up for the newsletter at your own risk- the link pushes you off-page to an unfinished looking landing page. If they’re using constant contact to collect email addresses, there’s a simple way to integrate the form on your website. It’s not a good idea to push your visitors off to another page when they’re trying to follow your call to action.
• Certain elements need to go, like the huge “find us on facebook” button and the empty space at the bottom of the pages beneath the content. It needs some TLC.

19. Denton Vacuum –  http://www.dentonvacuum.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade D

• Here’s another example of a Moorestown NJ business that has a global presence, is clearly very successful, but their online presence falls short. This website is just confusing, right from the homepage. What is the mission, and the core service or product offered?
• This site lacks a human element. It’s very industrial and there are virtually no photos, let alone showing people using the product or service.
• The resources page is a great help, and there are download buttons for each with a brief description. They could use another line to explain what a customer might do with the file or what they’d need it for.
• Do these guys know that Google penalizes sites that aren’t mobile friendly?

Worst Examples of Moorestown NJ Website Design

Choosing the worst websites in a town like this is painful. As a web designer in the Moorestown area, I’ve seen these types of mistakes over and over that are wreaking havoc on these businesses and killing their SERP ranking. Some of these websites are so terrible that I’m assuming they came free and ready-made with a domain purchase. The mistakes are numerous and easy to avoid if you’re a web designer who know’s what you’re doing.

20. Liberty Technology Solutions – http://www.libertylts.com

• Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade D
• This is a so-so website design. Not bad, it’s but nothing to write home about
• It’s easy to see where everything is at a glance- easy to navigate. The services are detailed with bulleted lists. 
• While I can appreciate the effort made on the blog, the posts are VERY underwhelming. This is not an effective content marketing strategy in action.
• Functionality is broken on this site, which is a major problem. The main CTA is to get a quote, but the web forms do not load. Big problem.

21. Com-Pak Presorting Services

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade D

• Visually speaking, this website isn’t anything special- the website design is dated and looks like a generic industrial template
• What does stand out is the video on the homepage- it’s actually a decent video showing the interior of this warehouse
• Social proof is huge, so the case studies are a step in the right direction. However, the page and presentation is not effective. No external links or proof, no names. It could all be falsified for all we know. Doesn’t build confidence from a visitor standpoint.
• It’s not so smart in terms of organized content. The layout doesn’t prioritize info, wastes space and is not compelling. This design could use some TLC.

22. Loftus Associates http://loftustax.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade F

• There are literally ZERO visual elements on this website. No photos, nothing attractive to pull you in. That’s a big mistake.
• The website design (which looks like a template from the late ’90s) is archaic. So many clues throughout the site tell us that this is an old design, starting with the “return to top” link under every paragraph.
• From a content standpoint, there is no shortage of information here. Someone is keeping the site at least partially updated, because there are current dates in the copy.
• The resources section is a helpful go-to for new visitors and current clients. It’s just a poor way to display the info, with no descriptions or landing pages- just a menu full of links. Needs work.

23. McNeely McGuigan & Esmi LLC – http://mcneelylaw.net

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade F

• Where are the visual elements?? The only photos on the site are in the header, and these photos suck. The website design is very dull.
• I was surprised to see that this site is mobile friendly. It looks like an old-style template. But it’s responsive, so that’s a plus.
• The blog, considering this is a law firm website, is a nightmare. It’s called “blawg” so let’s just start there. How does that fit the identity of this company? The posts are not very good and it hasn’t been updated for three years. A mess.
• We would like to see the areas of practice organized in a much nicer way. Dedicate a whole page instead of a little section on a long scrolling page. Provide relevant information and helpful resources. That’s how you serve targeted online traffic- you know what they’re searching for, and you help. This is a wasted opportunity for sure.

24. Haefele Flanagan – http://www.hfco.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade F

• This site is 100% broken. The images don’t load. Menu items are invisible until you hover. What is going on??
• There is no footer. Unless it’s there but it’s white on white, like the nav bar.
• I can’t imagine if this company is still in business. If so, they need a new website – quick.

25. Quality Concepts – http://www.qualityconcepts.com

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade F

• The products sold on this site are really interesting and different, but the only reason we stuck around to find out is because we’re analyzing the website design. There is nothing about the homepage that draws a customer in or makes them curious to see the inventory. Nothing compelling.
• The design is old, so old. Not mobile friendly. Lacks the basic modern elements like social media integration and a blog. No videos, nothing 2017, despite what the footer date suggests.
• This website is nothing more than a boring online catalog. So many opportunities to use marketing and really “sell” it but this site totally falls flat.

26. Aunt Selma’s Candy – http://auntselmascandy.com/index.html

Moorestown NJ Website Design Grade F

• It’s hard to get past the homepage- How can a candy store as cute as this one put out such a crappy website?  There are great reviews for this place online but you’d never know it was worth it judging from this website alone.
• Where are the great photos of the candies and confectionary treats? There should be a great hero image at the top to pull you in, and a bunch of product photos to show off what Aunt Selma is selling.
• Everything from the bold, italicized font to the static header screams “old-fashioned” but not in the charming way. More in the outdated way
