But there are a few things to think about first such as -
-
Why do you want a site ?
-
What do you hope that it will achieve ?
-
Do you have an idea what it will look like ?
-
How much can you afford to spend ?
-
Who will visit it ?
-
How will they find it ?
The Web has enormous potential for a business organisation or individual with information to publish. However it is not magic, just a tool that you can use along with other methods. We want sites that we work on to be effective so only undertake projects with clear objectives and goals. Don't worry though if you do not yet have answers to the questions above - contact us for some free advice and we can work through it together.
Key Web Site Design Pointers
Good content is necessary
There is no point in attracting visitors to your Web site unless they like what they find when they get there. It takes effort and experience to write good copy that catches the reader's attention and makes them want to come back. Graphics can enhance a site, unsuitable ones create a distraction or make it unnecessarily slow. Out of date information is useless; with the right tools updates can be much less of a chore.
Easy navigation is important
Many Web sites are too complicated and have annoying little faults such as broken links. Your site should be a pleasure to use. An appropriate design is the key and systems such as navigation bars, site searches, shopping carts and directories are available to use as required..
Visitors are essential
All of the effort that goes into building a good web site that you are proud of will be wasted if nobody comes! A Web site is a good marketing tool but first you have to market the site. Promotion on and off the Web is an expert subject and there are many opportunities to be missed!
Responses are valuable
Too valuable to waste through forms that don't work properly or leave the submitter guessing whether anyone has received them. A site should make you easy to do business with.
