[14/03/2010] Simple Elements in Web Design
Regardless of the connection speed, Internet customers expect the web information to be willingly accessible, web pages to download speedily with results at the click of the mouse.
As such, you should gaze at your web design page whether you are dealing effectively with your visitors. Have you explained briefly of what you are advertising and have you built more links to provide an in depth information to your visitors?
One should always remember that the first page of his web design should attempt to pre-sell and reflect what products or services are being offered to the prospective customers. If you are providing several products or services, place only the most interesting on the first page of your web design. Do not make your first webpage superfluous. Customers might get baffled if you supply too much information on one page.
Therefore, many professional web design experts recommend not making use of flash introductions on their first page or at the very slightest making the visitors skip through it. Today, internet customer have less tolerance to wait and will move on promptly if pages take much time to load or if they have to wait through flashy images that are all flash and do not have any proper content.
Site structure
Structure and web design of your site should be committed to one goal only leading the visitor from your home page to different pages on your site. Structure of your web design should be very simple and the first page should be your home page, where you supply the basic information and content about your product and/or service.
Secondly, there should be a “more details” page where you will list and explain on advantages and prices of your product or services.
Lastly, should be your “add to cart” or “contact us” link on the page.
Navigation structure
If you are serious about having your company on the Internet, do not experiment with the direction-finding of the site. Keep it uncomplicated and easy to use. If your pages are long, set a menu on the bottom of the page to save your users from scrolling to the top of your web design page to reach the menu.
Text
Viewers do not read the whole content written on the webpage and only scan through what is written over there so that they look for particular information regarding your business, or what you have to offer, the pricing and how to get in touch with you, etc. What you articulate and how you say it can indicate the difference between a visitor and a sale.
For visitors viewing your website for the first time, the look and content of our webpages may develop based on customer requirements and remarks. So for all time, be sure to include search alternatives in your web design, in case viewers don’t find what they are searching for and contact you through the available contact information. Most importantly, confirm that somebody is available to respond to the questions and never keep a prospective customer waiting for information.
In many cases, search preferences will make the visitor stay on your website, giving you one more chance to change the visitor into a prospective customer.
