Website Design For Beginners

    View: 
Yes, believe it or not, your website design should not concentrate on what you want or what you would like to see in your website, but it is about what your customers want from your website and it's design. You can get website designers to make great looking website for yourself, however you cannot get customers to visit and re-visit your website just because you have got a great looking website or you cannot convert visitors in customers just because you have a great looking website design. Neither do you need a website that offers a lot of functionality if your customers don't need that functionality. If you are selling flowers, the functionality your customers desire from your website will be different to the functionality available on a tyre manufacturer's website. So in simple terms you need to develop a website design and functionality that your customers expect from your type of business.



What should I be aiming at?

Even before you go to a see a website designer to undertake website design for your business, I would recommend that you do your fieldwork.

It would be useful to understand:

1. Who your audience is: This probably is the most important step before you go and see a website designer to develop a website for your company. You have to understand who your audience is. Try and estimate who are the people who would regularly come to my website?

2. What does my audience expect: once you identify your audience, the next step is to understand what your audience expect from your website design? Understanding this will not only help you understand the path you should take with your website design, but will also help you explain your requirement to your website designer.

3. What will bring my audience back: An important aspect of a good website design and a successful website is the ability to bring the visitors back. In marketing terms, it is like customer retention. For any business it is important to retain customer loyalty, similarly for any successful website, the ability to bring back your customers is paramount. Customer loyalty leads to increase in traffic. Look at some of the successful websites around you: amazon.com, Youtube, myspace. The success of these websites is an example of the power of customer retention and referrals. If you analyse the website design of these sites, it is fairly simple but it offers its visitors what they need: products and services that matter to their audience.

If you think through the above points, you will realise that a lot of information is already available to you (especially if you are an established business). Your website in many terms is an extension of your physical business. The above mentioned information should be available to you in terms of corporate knowledge. Talk to your sale people, look at your customer files and your sales pattern, try and source information from your suppliers. For a new business, it could include analysing your competitors.

Inc conclusion, I would remind you that try and understand your market before you undertake any part of website design or website development process. Without knowing your market you won't be able to communicate your requirement to your website designer. It is important to go through this process before you start website development instead of re-inventing the loop after your have developed your website and realised after one year that you are not getting enough leverage from your website design. At the end of the day you will only achieve from your website design what you tell your website designer.
Website Design For Beginners
At most, you will have six to eight seconds to keep your website visitor from clicking away and it all depends on one thing and one thing only....your website design. Whilst it's great that you have a great color combo going on there, there are many other elements that work together to either hold or push away your website visitors. It doesn't even matter if you're downright upfront about selling something - sometimes that's a good thing - because the most important thing is to use a website design that presents to your website visitors the very thing that they might be looking for.

Website designing is the same with going for an interview. Before heading for an interview, you'd dress yourself up to the nines and ensure that every wrinkle is ironed out and no baby spit is present on any part of your clothing and no sticker in your hair when you dash out the door. for visit to :-www.google-friendly-page.comYou have seconds to make a good impression on your interviewer and your website design has seconds to work its magic.

A simple and non-flashy website design works best

I don't know how to put facts down nicely so I'll just be very....downright mean about it. FORGET. ABOUT. ALL. THOSE. FLASHY. STUFF. I mean it. Flashy website design annoys me and some people to no end. Unless you're really someone....perhaps like Donald Trump or Michael Jordan...no one's really going to hang around for the website flash intro to load! That's the fact. Face it.

I would also allot limited space for flash banners and advertisements. You can probably place one at the top of the website design page but other than that, it cheeses people off. The only time that you can do implement this website design element into your web pages is when the sole purpose of the website is to either cheese people off or sell banner advertisement space. more visit for :-www.javascript-magic.com If that is the case, then the website design does not really matter anymore and you can ignore my advice.

Make your website design easy to navigate

Then there's this other thing about website design that turns people off. When designing your website, take pains to ensure the navigation of the website is easy....REALLY easy...like blindingly easy....like completely dummy-proof. Like if-you-can't-find-the-navigation-you-belong-to-dog-school easy.

I mean, if you're interested in reading more about a product or service and you can't find the navigation...good heavens, imagine the frustration! Conventionally, the navigation to a website design should be on the left of the web page. However, there are many people who place the navigation bar horizontal across the top part of the web page. Whatever rocks your boat, I say. Just make it easy to find.

Not too many fancy footwork, please

They've said that a picture paints a thousand words - true, true and I am not going to fight a losing battle. The point is when you have too many high resolution images going on in a single web page, you're going to lose your customer's attraction to you. As a basic rule of thumb is that the web page should load within ten to thirty seconds. Anything more than that, you'll have to think about removing a few of the hard-loading pictures and placing it elsewhere.

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

Black against white or jarring colors are out

I have this favorite blog of mine that I visit quite often....but not so often. I love the content that the blog owner puts up in the blog but the only thing preventing me from visiting more often is the fact that he opted for black background, white, bright yellow and orange wordings! Every time I finish reading the blog, I would have a serious case of white dots in front of me as a result of squinting in the screen to read.

Please, if you value your website visitors and want more coming into your website, kindly keep this website design advice in mind.

Good luck with designing your own website and hope you will have some fun with it along the way. Try not to punch the keyboard or smash the mouse too much.
