Web Design & Hosting

Creation of separate individual components. This may include graphics and photographs. Adobe Photoshop and other graphics suite can be used to create, manipulate and convert images to suitable formats. For example a bit map image has a large file size which may take a very long time to download. This needs to be converted to a GIF or JPEG image which results in small file sizes. The images can also be converted to vector images by using software like Flash.

Create animations using GIF animator and Flash like software.

These images, text and animations are then loaded on a web page using software such as Adobe Dreamweaver and Microsoft FrontPage.

Creation of navigation buttons with rollover effects etc. needed to navigate between the web pages of a web-site.

Once the web pages are ready they have to be uploaded on a host computer server which is called hosting. The web-site has a unique address called domain name which can be obtained from domain name registrars.

Web Hosting

There was a time when I had all my web pages ready but did not know how to showcase my great creative genius to the wide world. Initially, I imagined converting my own computer into a web server. But I was soon to realize that hosting my site would bite into my pocket. The first step towards hosting was obviously to get a domain name registered. Nowadays there are many who provide the registering service. By the time I could register my favorite name, it seemed that all names were already taken. I was advised to put some numeric into the name which I reluctantly agreed to do. Maybe why many sites have some number thrown in? The web-site looks iffy too.

Next, I searched for an appropriate ‘Hosting' service provider who would accept my humble five pages of offering. These providers have different packages to suit your requirement. A basic service without database connectivity can work out to be very cheap. You can also host you web-site totally free. Just search for it on the internet. Linux servers seem to be the flavor of the day and they are more economical than Windows servers, which should anyway not bother you, unless working with databases like SQL server. Once a host is found, it is pretty easy to upload the files and look at your wonder child with wonder.

Web Design & Hosting

There are many factors that determine the overall success of web design. While the appearance, user-friendliness, navigability, and product displays of the site are important, it's also equally important to design the site to be search engine ready. Professional SEO should go hand in hand with web design services. If you can't get people to the site in the first place, after all, it won't matter how great the site looks and how awesome the products or services are.

Before putting effort into professional SEO it's necessary to make sure the site is ready for customers by implementing design variation, imagination and development ability. One of the most important aspects of this is to design individual sub-pages for some of the products that a website offers, as well as informative sub-pages. These can keep the site from getting stale. It's essential to implement a web design that is not too confusing, though. There is a fine line between variety and visual confusion.

With an attractive site that is ready to complete customer transactions, you're ready to implement professional SEO or other types of web promotion services to make sure that visitors actually find your site in the first place. Some might rely more on advertising than search engines to attract visitors to the site, but studies show that most Internet users rely on search engines when they are interested in shopping for specific goods and services. Search engine optimization (SEO) consultants are concerned with how well a website works technically and textually, how much traffic it generates via search engines, and how many sales it makes.

Web design services must address multiple issues. There must be text that is rich with keywords so search engines can find the site when customers search for those terms. The site must also be attractive and easy to navigate so customers stay and shop once they find it. So if you're creating a new website or if your current ecommerce site is undergoing a web design overhaul, keep the textual content as well as the graphic appearance in mind. They play equally important roles in the potential success of the business.
