Guide to setting up a Web Design Project:
Some points to consider:
- Choose:
- A professional Website Design Company who will spend time understanding your needs – very important!
- A good copywriter who can appreciate your company ethos and your target audience to turn your website visitors into customers
- A visually powerful website design that reflects your business
- A website structure that is easy to navigate for a site visitor as well as a search engine robot, especially if you’re selling products/services online.
- A website navigation system that is simple and easyto use, with information or products no more than three mouse clicks away. A copywriter specialising in websites will be able to help you with this.
- Make your website accessible in accordance to the W3C Standards
- Allow external links to open in a new tab or window, but avoid too many or it just becomes distracting
- Include a good user sitemap that is easy to navigate
Things to avoid:
- A website that is not accessible to everyone, including those with visual impairments. Indeed if a website is not accessible to everyone this could lead to legal action
- A completely Flash based website – it may look good, but it’s likely to take ages to load so people will lose interest before they even enter the site, and search engines don’t like Flash
- Too many back grounds – less is more when it comes to website design
- Too many external links – you want people to stay on your website, not wander off elsewhere!
