The Web site Design Guide
The items below are important considerations and helpful tips
to enable your Web site to achieve the best possible results.
Step 1:
Decide why you are contemplating a web presence:
Your Web site can achieve great results if you know what you want it
to achieve.
Is it just to showcase your company, is it to extend your sales, and
is it just to provide information.
Step 2:
Corporate style:
Have you a company style that needs to be encompassed into the design
or does a new logo and image need to be created?
Step 3:
Where will the content from the site come from?
The text for the site do you have that to hand or does a copyrighter
need to be involved
?
Photographs are important to the visual feel of the site are you able
to acquire these or will photography need to be undertaken?
Do you need to obtain permission for any copyright items you need
to include on the site?
Step 4:
What are the main page headings?
It is important to not over complicate your site and deciding on the site
structure from your clients point of view is vital. Our suggestion is
to try to keep the main sections to a maximum of six - Home, About us,
Contact, and up to three others. If you site is going to be three levels
deep then you could still develop the site to hundred of pages.
Step 5:
How will people locate you on the search engines?
You need to think carefully about the words that people will use on
the search engines to locate you, these are known as the keywords. You
need to think of about 25 individual words or phrases that would be used
to find and describe your business. You need to rank these in order of
importance to your business.
