Why is Good Web Design Important If You Are Selling Something on Your Website?

If you are going to earn money through promoting an affiliate link or selling products on your own website, you will need a well designed website with easy to navigate links.

To accomplish this, you can learn to design your own website or hire someone to do it for you or you can buy web graphics out on the internet. A nicely designed website will make more sales as compared to a poorly designed website. This is because you are selling something and the website reflects your level of profession. If you have a poorly designed website, people will feel that your product is unprofessional too. People will also exit an unprofessional website faster. It is because it is simply too boring and it does not capture their attention. Just imagine a website with only words, a few poorly self designed pictures and a simple background color, will any reader want to buy or even read on. No! That is why web design is important.

Designing a website by yourself may be difficult but it is cheaper as compared to someone designing for you. You will need to get lots of resources to teach yourself. This will also take up time because you cannot possibly learn and master web design within a short amount of time. You cannot risk designing a site that looks bad and unfinished.

You may choose to use images or web graphics sold on the internet too. This is the cheapest method of all; however the images or web graphics are also used on your competitors' website.
Basically, people want an organized website that has a decent web template, some pictures and interesting text. Your website must have easy to navigate links too. A web template is a background for your website. It is important to get a web template according to what you are selling. There is lots of it out on the internet where you can buy or download free of charge. You can also hire someone to design your own customized web template or do it on your own. Hiring someone to do it for you may be expensive, but you get your own customized template. A customized template makes your website unique and highly professional. You can also design your own template if you have the skill to do it.

Other than templates, there are also other pictures or web graphics where you can buy from the internet, buy them in a package. The reason of buying in a package is because it contains everything you need for web design and you can have more choices on the images that you want.

Common Sections for Your Website

I've focused in the past on some individual sections of your website that you should consider implementing. What I'm going to do now is give a brief overview of a number of pages and sections that are common in websites.

  • Home PageThis page should have a short descriptive paragraph or two, along with some sort of bulleted list that a website visitor can look at and very quickly get an idea of what the site is about. This could also be called Main or Welcome, among other things.
  • About Us This page gives an overview about the company. If the staff is fairly small, staff information can be included on this page as well. In the case of one staff member, this page may be called About Me. It may also be known as About the Company, Company History or simply History.
  • Projects This is a page to list past work you and your company has done. It can be anything from a simple list to detailed descriptions of each project. This can also be called Portfolio.
  • Staff If you have a decent sized staff, you can split off the information on them from the About Us page and give them their own section. This can be anything from a simple list to a separate page on each staff member. This is also often used if an organization has a Board of Directors.
  • Links A links page is pretty common. However, you should be careful about this page. In most cases, it should be very different from a personal links page. This may also be a called Partners.
  • Contact This is where your email (or a form) will be, along with your phone numbers, mailing address, etc.
  • Location If you want a separate place to give actual directions, along with a map, this is a great place to put it. You can also put links to online map websites, often directly to directions to your location. This can also simply be called Map or Directions.
  • News This is just a page for the latest info on either your business, your website, or possibly both. This can also be archived copies of a newsletter that you mail out. More and more often, blogs are taking the place of a more formal news section.
  • FAQ Just like it says, this is Frequently Asked Questions about your business and website. At the beginning, this should be populated with what you think the most frequently asked questions are. But as time goes on, you can update it with questions you really do get often.
  • Gallery This can be anything from images of your physical location to pictures of your product. Also commonly known as Photos or Pictures.
  • Virtual Tour If a simple gallery isn't enough, a virtual tour can give your website visitors the feeling of actually walking around in your physical location. This can be as simple as pictures, or make use of more complicated Virtual Tour technology, where you can actually stand in one location and look around.
  • Calendar Although not all businesses warrant a calendar, many do. This can be anything from an actual grid-like calendar to a simple listing of events. It's also called Upcoming Events.
  • Press If you or your business have been featured in any publications or on other websites, your own website is a good place to show that off. Have clippings of articles and links to online articles here. This section can also be known as Media.
These are just some of the more common website sections for you to consider. Each website will likely have other sections that are specific to that company, or at least to that industry. Remember, the sky's the limit.

Build Your Own Website

The one thing that can stop many people from starting their own online business is the lack of knowledge of building a website. Phrases such as 'servers', 'hosting' and 'domains' can create unnecessary confusion for the beginner and a tendency to give up the idea of building a website before they have even begun.

Although these phrases and many more associated with website building and the Internet in general can seem like a foreign language to some, you only need to know the basics to be able to create your own website easily and at low cost. For example, a 'domain' is your website for which it will need to have a name. Hence the phrase "domain name", meaning the name of your website. Hosting is provided by a web-based company such as Hostgator or Godaddy and where the server resides. A 'server' is basically a computer onto which all of your files, images and website pages are copied. Because the server is always connected to the Internet, this means that your site can be accessed anywhere around the world at any time. Your files are copied from your computer through a file transfer protocol, or FTP client as it is more commonly known, such as Filezilla, to the server on your hosting account.

Knowledge of HTML is not needed to build your own website. Although building a website from scratch can be time consuming depending on how many pages you intend to create and how much information you will be providing in the beginning, building and uploading your own website is extremely easy. If you are able to copy and paste in Word and are able to click and drag files, then you can build your own website and upload it to the server.

Nowadays it costs a lot less to purchase a domain name and hosting for your website than it did a few years ago. Some hosting companies expect you to pay for a full years worth of hosting straight off which can work out a little expensive, whereas other hosting companies give you the choice of paying for your hosting on a month by month basis. The choice of course is entirely yours and depends on whether you have the full amount to pay in one go either from your own funds or a credit card, or whether it is easier for you to pay monthly for your hosting.

Although many hosting companies offer a free website builder with your account, some companies require a further fee to be paid. The website builders provided may only be used for so long as you have your domain hosted with the company in question. In addition, some hosting companies stipulate that you will need a separate website builder for each website that you have. If you are asked to pay for these programs, this can work out extremely expensive if you intend on having more than one website. By using these programs, you may also be restricted on the size of files you may upload. This is very bad news if you intend to sell MP3's or videos from your website as these can be extremely large files and too large to be uploaded via the FTP of your hosting company's website builder.

The freedom of building your own website means that the question of file size restrictions does not come into play. Obviously the larger the file, the longer it will take to upload to the server but you will still be able to upload and sell the product from your website via your own FTP client. It is also worth bearing in mind that videos are becoming more and more popular within the Internet Marketing world and not being able to upload files as large as these may hinder your online business success.

If you are serious about having an online business, you really do need to know how to build your own website and upload it to the server on your hosting account. Your online business is just that - a business. Invest your time, energy and a little money into building your own website, be patient and you will soon reap the rewards.

  • Lay out of pages used to be left oriented or were very wide in the early days but not any more, as scrolling has been accepted as a part of the browsing process and centralized orientation is more balanced. The designer's focus must be on making the subject interesting and not on impressing ones designing skills.

    WEB DESIGN: Making Your Site the Best it Can Be

    I have noticed that many web sites are trying to portray themselves as if they were a TV network. They put top-notch graphics and sound into their web page. What these companies are missing is that their visitors are not watching TV. This works fine for those with broadband high speed connections. The fact is, most are viewing web site on a screen that is between 15 and 19 inches wide, can only see 216 colors, and can only download at 28.8 kb per second.

    You as a web site owner, designer or any one who has control over a web site should follow a simple rule : make sure you are on a 28.8 connection type in the URL for your web page, hit enter, and hold your breath. If you needed to gasp for air before the page was fully down loaded you really need to cut down on the size of the page. The web page should be no larger then 50K. Try to shoot for less than 30K. The number one visited web site home page is under 21k.

    All graphic images should be as small as possible. Try to get them smaller than 4k. Going up to 6k is reasonable. When designing a graphic for the web site keep in mind the number of colors being used. As a graphic designer, it is hard to go from millions of color to only 216. Yes, 216 is the number of colors that is available on a web safe color pallet. Use solid colors when designing the image. PhotoShop has made the gradient such a popular tool. It looks good to fade things in and out. Always see a background border made up of this gradient. Right click on that image to see the size. The 8k-12k is not worth the space. The problem with the gradient is it uses many colors and dithering. Both take up big time K. The more color in an image the bigger it's going to be.

    Use design more, graphics less. For a web page to be successful it needs to download quickly and look good. Instead of designing graphics and taking pictures and turning them into jpgs to make the web page look good, try using color schemes. Use cell colors to make boarders. Use the negative space on your web site. What is not there is just as important as what is there. Remember sometimes less is more. Think of a typical visitor coming to your web page. Would that extra graphic sell them or keep them coming back again and again. If the answer is yes, by all means keep it. If the answer is "well maybe" or "it just looks good there", throw it. Viewers will appreciate not waiting more then they have to. The web is here to make our life easier not to sit in front of a screen waiting for heavy web pages to download.

    Website Design and SEO

    With SEO (search engine optimization) being a big consideration when designing a website. The designer has to make certain design sacrifices to accommodate SEO. As search engine optimization doesn't always compliment web design. However, it's all about striking a balance between the two. Some of these compromises are as follows.

    Flash

    Flash may be pretty and look cool but isn't helpful in SEO. The content of Flash can't be fully read by search engines so all the text in a Flash file won't be read by the engines and this can cause problems because when a search engine spider enters the website it will see it as containing no text therefore not appearing relevant to any search queries. Search engines love text and the more you have on your website the better. Therefore, this is why Flash isn't a good idea. However, if used sparingly Flash can be a good asset in your websites design as long as you also include plenty of relevant text.

    Image Links

    An image link may also not be the best choice for search engines, although it's still a link and will be taken into consideration as a valid link by the engines; from an SEO standpoint, you would be far better using a text link with proper optimized anchor text for the relevant keyphrase. A way around this can be supplying both a cool graphic as an image link and somewhere on the page a text link pointing to the same location. JavaScript drop down menus suffers from the same problems and the same solution should be applied.

    If you're looking for website design, I would say that this company is great as they have a vast experience in both website design and SEO, so know how to make them work together so you have a great looking website that is also search engine friendly.

    Text and Color

    If you text color is similar to the color of the background color of the web page this can also cause problems as spammers used to use this technique to hide text. They would make the text the same color as the background so you couldn't see it. However, the search engines would be able to and the spammer would stuff keyphrases in the page to falsely increase its relevancy. However, the search engines have wised up to this and have advanced techniques to combat this. Font size should also be of a good size don't use small font sizes as this can also be considered as spamming.

    Need for Web Designing

    In today's business ambiance, an online business presence is essential element of e-commerce. An online presence gives extraordinary power to customers, who can access your products and services 24x7 from any part of the globe. The Internet is a resplendent way to reach the market.

    Website Design - Using CSS

    Benefits of using cascading style sheets in website design.

    • Using CSS or cascading style sheet is a favorable way of designing web pages. CSS allows a web page designer better control of the layout and results in better look of the web pages. The best is to use external CSS included in the link which is placed in the head portion of the web page. With this link tag one can implement the style sheet to the whole site. And by editing one style sheet one can make desired changes on the site.
    • Every page should have the style sheet to implement CSS there. The link tag is used to connect external CSS style sheet in a Web page but the link tag also conveys relationship between the relational pages.
    • If the aim of the web designer is to create a Web page that appears as close as possible across whole set of web browsers, then first a master CSS style sheet is created to remove default browser styling. Thus when you build the website using master CSS style sheets, you'll be beginning with a clean palette. A good web designer knows how to link CSS with the web page HTML.
    • CSS makes it easy to add spaces around objects, next to elements, and inside your pages. CSS helps web designer in indenting, out denting, letter and word spacing, in line height and the white space. With CSS one can create a bulleted list on the web page.

It is also possible to create a background water mark image using CSS. It is easier to control H1, H2fonts and different font sizes using CSS. The web designer can make the fonts appear smaller or larger than what the font sizes actually are. CSS provides several properties for modifying your text so that your Web pages look more interesting. Text-decoration, text-transform, and text-shadow are useful properties to understand.

    What Is The Importance Of Web Designing In Today's World?

    If you are planning to start an online business and create your own website then you must possess a clear idea about web designing. As you know, it is a very common trend in most people who have just started an online business to make minimum investment on designing their website. People tend to concentrate more on the product's quality, services, marketing strategies and other related things than on their web site designing. As a result of this negligence, they ultimately have to take a lot more responsibilities on their shoulder. They have to perform every petty operations and mundane works in order to run their online business successfully and yet at the end of the day they discover that whatever hard work they had put up for their business was not enough. It is usually during this time of distress that they resort to web designing.

    So, now the question comes - what is web designing all about? Well, web designing is simply a method of planning, modeling, forming an approach as well as executing content delivery through the Internet in the form of mark up languages or other forms of technology that can be interpreted and demonstrated by different web browsers.

    So now we have some knowledge about the term web designing but we are yet to unravel the significance of web site designing. For many people, their website is like their second home. It is a kind of virtual home for people conducting online businesses. Your website plays an important role in drawing traffic to your web pages. Ask me how. Well, a website surely reveals a lot of things which you have perhaps ignored so far. It gives visitors an impression of your business and it acts as a proof of your online business. Your website also reflects of the content of your web pages. For example, if you run a business on e-books for children and you put up a clumsy website devoid of any bright colors or cartoon characters then in all probabilities your website will not attract many visitors. Thus, in the world of World Wide Web, the cover is no less important than the original content of the book and this is the reason people these days desperately hunt for professional web site designers.

    The whole concept of website designing which also includes website optimization, website promotion; etc is quite analogous to cement companies. No psychologically normal person shall want his building to tumbledown so he should buy good cement from a reputed company. You may also compare web designing with handwriting. For example, if a student writes his exam paper in a good handwriting, it spontaneously creates a good impression in the minds of the examiner which can in turn fetch him good marks in the examination. Similarly, a good web site properly designed by a professional web designer can draw a huge amount of traffics to your site.

    Proper presentation of your website is, thus, extremely important in internet marketing. You must make sure that your website is appealing to the viewers. It must have something special to draw internet users towards your site. You can hire any professional web designer for this purpose or you can also contact any UK based web design companies!
