Balance in a website is
important: this allows the page to flow. The main focus when
entering a site is the top left of the page, moving focus to the right. Important items should
immediately stand out without creating a cluttered page. Too many
flashing & moving elements on a page is not recommended as this distracts
the visitors.
Along with the design,
content is so incredibly important. The design will give the feel
of your business & the content will give the actual purpose of your
business. Too many sites out there may have beautiful graphics
that fill the page but that alone is not enough when you're trying to
sell or provide a service. That being said, pages & pages of text
might bore visitors. Web content must be more
tightly constructed than text in books or magazines because visitors can
just as easily close the window & choose another. Content needs to serve the
needs of the visitor and it must be to the point but constructed in a
way that the visitor is enticed.
We do extensive research &
preparation beforehand to also be familiar with your business /
organisation. The needs of both the
client or the prospective clients / visitors are identified & a
structure for the website is created. The navigation should be
easy & direct. One shouldn't have to search for a specific piece
of info - related information should be grouped together. The key is to structure
the site in a way where crucial info & graphics are not overshadowed by
unnecessary flashy graphics that distracts instead of ads. |
