You know that when cooking a meal you must add all ingredients of the recipe to get the expected taste. What if you leave out the eggs when making cookie? The same is with making a website. What if you count out one of the components: content, design, navigation or promotion? Do you think that you get the desired result? Frequently I could observe that some websites had a nice and attractive look but they were not functional in use. These sites were bright, had a lot of icons and images, cute flashes, but these entire do not make the navigation easier. I would like to mark out 5 the most essential ingredients of making a good website.
Easy to click and navigate.
Poor navigation is the lost chance for your website. You noticed that all fresh news with juicy and piquant bits is at the top of the newspaper. Well, you must think about this when you provide information on your website. Take it into account this point as you have to present eye- catching info up top, front or center in order to grip viewers` attention. Navigation should be easy and welcoming. A user is supposed to find easy what he/she is looking for as well as get easy navigating your site.
Up-to-date content.
Would you offer stale and tasteless meal to your guests? Sure, you will not if you want to see your friends at the next party. The same is with your site. From the one hand, you should keep the content fresh for your visitors, from the other hand, you should always refresh site for the search engines. If your visitors find the information up-to-dated, quality and significant, they will come back to your site again. Thus you will gain more audience as they would like to visit and see what is new in your world. Also you might use a newsletter. Variety of means and techniques are at your disposal.
Refined use of graphics.
Usually visitors are impatient to wait for more 20 seconds when the page is loaded. We agree that images and pictures are fine. They give a nice look to your site, but if you overload your site with them, or use them at large size- you can lose your viewer. It does not really mean that you must have just text essay on website. Well, try and balance between the boring design and site overload.
Interactive mode is essential point.
Encourage your viewers to participate and contribute to your website. It does not matter whether it is a contact form or a forum; just remember and follow one rule-is simplicity. You must be aimed at raising a feel of being a part in your viewers. They are here in your website, they are online and they have a reason to be there.
Copyright. There is a need always to write unique and exceptional content. You are to use all your individuality in order to create a new brand of your website.
I can give you a piece of advice from my own experience. Spending a lot of time I tried to learn and understand the most important things that seize your audience and make it return to the website. My conclusion is – think out of box. Always generate new ideas, thoughts, build up a team and never stop at the achieved result, but go ahead and open new horizons.
