Design
Every single project we undertake is entirely different from any other, and with this in mind we treat it as such. At Get a Website, our design team have a thorough understanding of the visual attributes designing a web site requires. As experienced and dynamic designers, they know how to create vibrant and striking sites that combine colour, special effects and animation that will express to your clients the correct professional impression of your business.
Good Web Design includes:
- Designing for your target market
- Good use of colour
- Clean, crisp graphic design
- Clean, uncluttered pages
- Fast loading pages and graphics
- Intuitive/easy to use navigation
- Accurate information and compelling text
- A good balance of text and images
The correct use of colour is crucial and used correctly can influence and convey a powerful message to your audience, so choosing the right colours for your web site requires investigation and careful thought.
For example, here are some samples of how we use colour:
Red - efficiency, speed
Orange - good value, bargain
Yellow - high value, precious
Dark blue - traditional, unshakable, the establishment
Grey blue - honesty, leadership
Bright blue - dynamic, energetic, lively
Lime Green - modern, Up to date, cutting edge
Deep purple - quality, dependability, pedigree
Plum purple - loyalty, trustworthy
What makes a good website?
Very few sites (5%) can charge for admission or require membership, and most people avoid sites with these barriers. Even having to register to view pages on a site will put many people off viewing your site. Give away something valuable: information, software, advice, humour, and people will flock to your site.
There's no perfect formula for creating an easy to use and amazing looking website, however there are some essentials you need to consider for you website.
- What is the purpose of your website? How are you going to measure your success?
- What about design choices such as colour, alignments, visual interest, and meaningful metaphors?
- Every page in your website needs a goal. You need to understand who your target audience is and what you want them to do. Then you must provide them with the appropriate information and then an appropriate form of action.
- How are your pages organised? Will your target audience understand and be able to navigate easily? Think about how other company's websites look and function differently.
- Making your website accessible. HTML is still a coding language and it needs to be well formed. Not everyone who visits your site is perfectly enabled; some people have disabilities, some have slow connections, some can't install the Flash plug-in.
- Consider Online Marketing; appealing to the search engines is a challenge that is constantly changing, and can sometimes be a delicate balance; get it wrong and you'll find yourself banned. Get it right however, and you'll be rewarded with lots of free, targeted traffic. It's not difficult; it just takes experience and planning.
- Is your domain easy to remember? Is your ISP reliable? Do they have thousands of other websites hosted on your server, making your site run slower? Do they support the right technologies for your website to grow?
