How do you start a website? |
 |
There
is no denying the fact that the world has become Internet Based. If you have a
business you must have an internet presence to stay competitive. A website is
like having a global, "electronic billboard" for your business.
Why should I have a website?
Web sites are by far the most practical, logical marketing strategy
available today. No other form of advertising can bring a "worldwide audience"
to the front door of your business like a web page can. For the amount of money
you would spend on envelopes for your business, you could have a website for a
year! Big or small, having your business on a website levels the playing field
with the competition.
How to design a web page
|
Designing a website is an intricate process
and you must understand the whole process.
Designing your own website is recommended if you have a bit of technical
skill so often businesses just hire a web designer. Either way it is
important to understand the website design process.
If you hire a web
designer keep in mind that it requires involvement
from the client (you) from the beginning stages to the end so be prepared to be
part of the process.
Your input on graphics,
layout, color schemes and content are all a vital part of the process to ensure that your
site will create a powerful presence on the Web.

Website Design:
The design of a website is totally up to the customer. The customer and the
designer work together to make sure that the layout, the color schemes, the
content etc all are in synch with the business that it represents. |
Website Functionality:
First and foremost a website should always be clear and
very easy to navigate above design. No matter where you are on the site, you should know
where you are and easily find other pages on the site without having to search
to find it. A web page should be very easy to navigate, clean and clear on all
content.
Website Animations and Flash:
A website should also have some degree of action to keep the viewers
interest although you don't want to get too flashy or gimmicky as the content of
your site will get lost in all the fluff. Animation and flash is cool but keep in mind there needs to be a good balance of design and content
on any web page.
