Web Design can be more than just the look and feel of your website. A great website has updated available content, great functionality, and search friendly URL’s (pretty URL’s).
Knowing Your Audience
Always putting your brand first and foremost, making every aspect of your site or downloadable portion of your site, obviously and traceable back to you. Know your key audience and some statistics about them.
- Other sites frequented
- Cross browser platform (make sure your website looks good in several browsers)
Continuity is Key
Every page of your site or derivative of your site must be anticipated by your viewing audience. Keep navigation and common links in repetitious locations. Any advertising or marketing should avoid blindness, but not obstruct regular viewing of primary content.
The trap many site owners find themselves walking into is trying to do too much with their site design, too fast. With so many web design software applications available almost anyone can become a web site design specialist – by title only. Web page design however actually takes more than some pretty graphics and a place to put them. At least some understanding of how your pretty pictures will be combined into code and how to make them function properly, is required to make any web designer effective.
