It’s no secret at this point, this internet thing is going to be big! Most businesses today have some kind of online presence, usually focused around their website. The marketing value of this tool is virtually immeasurable. Unless you are a company that specializes in measuring the marketing value of of the internet as a mainstream tool for enhancing your business, then you might have an idea. And if that is your business, what kind of website would you have?
Business sites have a different goal than most, to be sure. For most business sites, usability is the main focus when putting the site together. They want to make sure that function takes precedence so that users can easily find their way around to everything that they are looking for. Some businesses believe the look of the site is as important as everything else, and they have achieved usability with an equal focus on aesthetics. Here are the thirty most inspirational business websites that we found.

I’ve been working on some eye-catching logos, with the end goal of building a whole website for my business. The featured websites were both easily navigable and visually stunning. Now that I have usability as well as aesthetics in mind, what does it take to make my website a reality?

I liked Cat & The Dandy the most as it is has got an amazing user interface. Anyone visiting this website would surely say that it has been made by an expert who know something about customer service in the real sense.
I agree that for most business sites usability is the main focus. Making a website with too much flash or java would get you nowhere as sometimes due to low internet speed, the site may not work at all for the user. I think Cat & The Dandy has certainly achieved all the required objectives for a business website with utmost grace.

It is so important that businesses have quality websites that not only look good, but that user’s can easily navigate and find what they are looking for. It no only increases sales for new users but keeps them coming back. Great list and a good standard for people to strive for.
