Website Design
First impressions count, and the main objective of a website design is to be an attention getter, reflect a professional image and support the message you are trying to convey. You will have less than 10 seconds to capture the attention and interest of your site visitors, give them the desire to stay on your site, and the opportunity to take whatever action they want, such as purchase goods or services from you.
Website design is a very specialized area, and is a cross between graphic design, programming, copywriting, brand building and direct marketing. It is much more than just creating a good looking site, although that is still a vital element. There are so many components that have to fit together and the site has to do the job of directing visitors through the site so they get the information they need, then take the action you want without becoming overwhelmed or lost.
 Unprofessional Website
Many website owners make the mistake of designing a website that suits themselves - that they think is cool, trendy and attractive. But that's not what the visitors see. Here are a few examples of what goes wrong:
 |
The focus or purpose of the site is not instant |
|
No real content of interest to visitors |
|
Slow loading pages - more than a few seconds and site visitors leave |
|
The Home page is too busy, or full of flashing banners or cartoons |
|
Excessive pop ups or other irritants |
|
Too many colours, too many different size fonts, dark backgrounds with illegible text |
|
Music or other sounds play instantly, with no way of turning them off |
|
Broken links leading to page not available |
|
Out of date information - no-one seems to care about keeping the site updated |
|
Pages that leave them stranded, with no back links or follow-through |
|
No contact information |
|
Design is structured in frames - very 'old hat' and bad for search engine robots |
