Web Site Design
In the website design world image and presentation is everything. Many websites can be compared to a business man showing up to an important meeting, in sweatpants and uncombed hair, with a suitcase filled with great ideas, which may never see the light of day. Your website should not just show you exist but should be the most important marketing employee who works 24hrs a day 365 days a year who generates leads and answers questions. Whether you are starting a new website or redesigning an existing site the following information will help organize ideas to get the site up that makes the best first impression.
Website Features
Web 2.0 Site Design
The website we design will be design with the Web 2.0 design standards. We will communicate your website’s goals, by guiding the site visitor’s eye through the use of fewer, well-chosen visual elements. We will use fewer words to say more, and carefully select imagery to create the desired feel. The layout will be clean and visually stimulating, and branded with your company’s color scheme. When a customer compares your website to your competitors through a search engine, we will make sure your company stands out as the market leader.
Easy maintenance
Within the administration panel you can add, edit or delete blog posts and pages without having to learn HTML. A simple editor is provided that enables you to write content in a similar way to a Microsoft Word document. All web pages are stored in a database. This enables you to create as many pages as you like and manage them all within the administration panel.
Search engine friendly
The website allows you to create search engine friendly URLs. After writing or updating a page the website automatically alerts search engines of the new content. Search engines love new content. Often times a new post will appear almost immediately in the search engine results’ pages after.
Schedule news and updates
Instead of writing new content for your website every day you can write a series of writings then schedule them to be automatically published each for the days you prefer. This is great for when you’re on holiday because new content will be added to your site without your intervention. This will keep your website fresh and updated.
Email Subscriptions
Your website enables visitors to sign up for your newsletter subscriptions via an opt-in form on your website. You can also encourage social media interaction by adding social media icons to your web pages. e.g. allow visitors to share on Facebook.
Multiple users
If you want multiple people to add content to your website you can create a number of different uses with different passwords to log in to the administration panel. They can be assigned different roles such as administrator, editor and author. This means content can be added from any location, at any time so long as it has an Internet connection.
Generate lots of traffic
Your website will easily generate traffic because it has traffic tools built into the software. Here are some of the tools that can be used to attract visitors:
- Creates search engine friendly pages
- RSS feeds can be submitted to the RSS directories
- Link building through comments and trackbacks
- Ability to easily add new content that gets shared with others
Your website will save time, money because it is easy to maintain it yourself.
