Web design covers a lot of aspects. It encompasses the processes of making websites attractive to the eyes of internet users and in creating it in a way that it would be easy to use. However, an attractive website, along with its many pages, does not equate to an effective website. It has to contain the right kind of information arranged and organized in a matter and format that would make a lot easier to either read or access. It must also have the correct collection of text and supplementary graphics and the colors must best fit it. Perhaps the most important aspect is fitting it with the correct content, like the above mentioned information, along with interactive content, graphics and audio and video clips. Here are some of the things you must consider if you are in dire need of information in order to decide which kinds of content to put on your site.
People create websites mainly because they are promoting a business, doing it for a hobby or for a job. To start with, if your purpose in creating a website is to advertise or to sell a product or service, then it is imperative that you provide information and other details about your merchandise, how to purchase and deliver them. This involves a lot careful and strategic planning. For example, you need to present your premium and top products on your home page, along with your commitment to service, quality and customer satisfaction. If you are doing it for a hobby or an advocacy, then of course, you must be able to support the website financially. Whether you created it so you can have an avenue to showcase your original work or to just spread the word about your sentiments, you must be able to combine the right amount of text with the appropriate multimedia content. Also remember that a site’s domain name plays a vital part. Remember that it must not be too long and it must be catchy or you can just name it after the business. Deciding which kinds of information to put on your site is not really that much of a problem; however, it takes a lot of effort. Content is not really a problem for websites that are aiming to sell, however, if it is a hobby or an advocacy site, the owner or the people running it must be able to produce the appropriate amount of content in real time.
As for the various tools and utilities for your website, the best and most important thing would be the ones pertaining to social media, which are in the form of social networking websites. These allow you to share and spread content to a global audience, unhindered by social and geographical barriers. Popular social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google+ allow you to connect with everyone, as mentioned above, and they also give you the power to disseminate information. In this case, you must include their share buttons in their website, popularly called “widgets”.
