A Facelift For Your Website Design

Thursday, August 26th, 2010
Robert Speyer asked:




It is never too late to remodel your website design to keep up with the ever-changing marketing standard. No matter how long your business has been running-it’s probably been a lifetime on the web- now is the time for a fresh new look for your site’s design while keeping your brand consistent.

Things to consider while re-designing your website to make it easier for you.
If your business has been on the web for over five years, then your branding is now pretty much set-in-stone. Your customers are now used to seeing your brand colors and your brand image. A level of comfort is already established, so you should not change colors or images. You want to keep a consistency for your brand.

o Based on feedback from the field and from visitors, reevaluate your website navigation by perhaps making it “simplified” for ease of use.

o If yours is a direct response website, then your content has to be organized for easier reading or “skimming”.

o It is effective if your opt-in take-away remains on the right for easy use and visibility.

o You could have an “updates” box on the left for specials or newsworthy items.

o How about adding a “Downloads” page so readers and customers will be able to download all of your reports in one place

o You could add a “Glossary of Terms” page for those of you that need definitions

Most successful online businesses strive to educate and facilitate the process of marketing online. Aim to provide quality services to customers by being open to suggestions and feedback. Make the visiting experience to your site user friendly and you should continue to get support and have web success.

Five Of The Most Common Mistakes With Web Design

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010
Carolyn asked:




Web design is a very useful tool for companies of any size. One of the main problems is that a lot of people are unsure of the best layout that can be used to communicate effectively with the visitors. When websites are designed there is five common mistakes, which are made.

The first common mistake that is made is that the text is not right for the overall niche or mood of the website. It can be very hard to find the best text for using on the website. If you feel that this may be the problem with your website there is some sites on the internet that can assist to sort this problem.

The second mistake that is commonly made is that the website is not actually compatible for working with multiple browsers. There is a lot of website owners that are surprised when they receive feedback stating that the website does not work properly in Google Chrome. This is very unfortunate if this is the case because this browser is one of the fastest growing browsers available online. It is worth taking time to ensure that the website is working correctly so that customers can access it.

Another thing that is very important to spend time looking at so that you do not make a mistake is the colour scheme. It is very important to take time to look into the colour scheme so that you get something that is suitable. There is some useful sites on the internet that will help you to get the correct colour scheme for the website. There is over twenty different colours that can be used in order to design the website.

The fourth mistake that is commonly made when it comes to designing a website is that the navigation system is not set up correctly. There is not really a tool that can be used to sort this problem however there are some guidelines that can be followed in order to make sure that it is set up correctly.

One of the biggest mistakes that are commonly made by website owners is with regards to the order of the navigation. If you take time to look around you will find that there is a lot of websites have the home tab at the top of the navigation bar and then it is followed by about us.

It is very important to avoid making this mistake because no one really cares who they are as they care more about what products are offered and how much they are. It is best to put the products or services tab after the home tab.

The fifth mistake that is commonly made is that the call to action is not in the correct place. It is very important to put your call to action within the centre and front and also on nearly all the other pages. If you would like the potential customers to call you on the telephone then put the contact number on all pages.

Website Design Checklist

Friday, August 6th, 2010
Matthew Gio asked:




Here are a few bullet points on what you should do before you start building a website. Before I start building I like to draw the entire design on a piece of paper and build it from there. That way you can you can save time instead of editing in the computer. Here is a simple checklist I follow when building a website.

Layout

-Consistent navigation bar and main logo.

-Page footer that includes copyright information and a contact email address.

-Remember that most people use an 800 x 600 resolution so you should design your pages to be no less than 750 pixels wide.

-Make sure the text on the page is easy to read. If you use a black background it is best to use white text so that people can read it.

-Grab attention with the homepage. Put as much relevant information on the main page as you can

-Check Browser Compatibility

Navigation

-If you are using buttons as your text, add links to the bottom of your page. Some people use text browsers and search bots only look at text not pictures.

-Make sure the homepage is under 50 kb for fast loading

-Navigation should be big and simple and easy to find

-Check Links to ensure they are not broken

Search Engine Optimization

-Make sure your meta tags are defined (title, keywords, description)

-Make sure all your alt tags are filled in

-Make sure there are plenty of links and they are not broken

-Preview you pages in a text browsers
