Web Site Design Essentials

There are certain essentials that should be a part of your web site design.

• Easy to use navigation: Your web site should be easy to navigate so visitors can find what they want. This means that the navigation should be consistent and present on every page. Visitors should be able to reach your home page or reach other critical information from any page within the site.
• Calls to action: If you want visitors to take some form of action then make it apparent and accessible. For example, if you want visitors to call you, make sure you have a toll free number that is very visible on every page.
• Use of pictures and virtual tours: If you do anything related to travel or property then you should make liberal use of photo galleries and virtual tours. The web is a visual medium so you should make every attempt to communicate visually with visitors.
• Make sure the site is well designed: Bad design is easy to spot on the internet these days. Make sure your web site is well designed and visually appealing. You are making a visual statement about your business so communicate the right message by having a nice web site.
• Content: Make sure your content is well written and easy to understand. Your home page should answer the 3 to 5 questions that you think people would ask about your service. If you are a church then you might want to put the times of your service, your pastors name and your location on the home page.
