DESIGNING YOUR WEBSITE - Top Things to concentrate


DESIGHNING YOUR WEBSITE

Every business needs a website these days. Here, James kerr offers a few tips on how to make your website easy for customer use.

A. Finding your way around

First of all, a good website has to be easy to navigate. If visitors can’t find what they want quickly, they can leave and go to a competitors website with just  a few clicks of the mouse. Make sure that your home page directs visitors to where they want to go and that the buttons are clearly labeled. Remember that a visitor may enter in the middle of the site so make it clear how to get to the home page from any point.

B. Graphics

Choose the background and the color of your text carefully. Don’t use colors which can be difficult for the eyes like white text on  a grey background. Flashing or spinning text is also irritating to the eyes.

C. What to put in, what to leave out

Your home page should not look too cluttered. Your company’s name, logo, location and a clear description of your product or services is usually enough.
It can be a good idea to collect a few comments from satisfied customers and ask their permission to post them on the home page as well. Photos of customers or staff, however, are not recommended.
The main reason for keeping the homepage simple is that this means it will load quickly. Photos and gimmicks or just too much information will cause the page to load too slowly and if visitors get bored, they will click the mouse and go elsewhere.
Some websites feature a splash page to welcome the visitor to the site, but these are usually a waste of time. Most visitors will come to your site to find specific information and a splash page will just create another layer between them and the information they want.
Finally, attempts at humour are best avoided. They can get the visitors a attention but they can also backfire and visitors from overseas may not understand them.

D. Overseas visitors

Research has shown that customers are four times more likely to buy a product online if the site is in their own language. If you  are expecting customers to access your site from abroad, it is worth translating some of the pages or even creating a local version of the site. However, remember that there are a whole range of issues to consider with regard to charging the overseas customer, such as the exchange rate and handling.

E. Search engines

Once your website is completed, it is worth getting it listed on the major search engines such as Alta Vista and Google. This can significantly expand your market. However, it can be a time-consuming process and requires a lot of knowledge about search engines and how they work. If it sounds like too much time and trouble, there are companies who can pay to submit your site for you.

F. Keeping it up to date

Finally, make sure your website is kept up to date. It is best to avoid time-sensitive information unless you have the time to change it regularly. Don’t be like the clothing chain store who were still advertising their summer wear in the middle of winter.
