What Are You Designing, Anyway?
If you want to create a great web site, you need to know what comprises a great web site. What happens if you don’t know what you need to make a great site? Just consult this handy checklist of all the working parts you need:
1) An aim. Sure, you may not see a goal on a web site the way you see pictures or articles, but an aim is the most important element of your site. Is your web site supposed to send clients to your bricks and mortar business or is it supposed to encourage them to buy online? A website without a clear purpose is useless and almost always fails, so make sure you have one clear objective in place before you even consider creating a web space.
2) A target audience. Like a goal, this is something you can’t see but it is still something that is integral to your web site. Who are you creating your web site for? Knowing as much as possible about your target audience ensures you won’t create a web site that your viewers will hate.
3) A navigation system. You would never hop in a car that didn’t have the tools necessary to get you from one place to another, so don’t build a web site that doesn’t go anywhere. A navigation system can be a drop down menu, a navigation bar, or even a series of text links somewhere on your page. Just make sure it’s clear and easy to follow. Make sure it looks pretty much the same and appears in the same spot on every page. For even easier navigation, include a comprehensive site map on your navigation system.
4) A home page. A home page is like a good handshake – it builds credibility and makes someone want to stick around. A solid and fuss-free homepage can encourage your viewers to take another look at your website, so spend plenty of time creating the best and simplest welcome page you can.
5) Content. What’s beyond your homepage? Whatever you need to convey to your viewers. It could be images, an online catalogue, checklist, articles, or information. Whatever it is, make sure it is something that your audience wants to know and present it as effectively and as attractively as possible. Good content is what will keep your audience coming back.
