Web Design Services

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

When I had my web site designed by a professional team of designers and developers, I rejected it without even going beyond the first page. The team had made it hugely interactive and a den of graphic superiority, but had ignored what technically unaware people (read users) would not miss. The color combination and overall organization of the front page of the site was a let down.

Now you shall argue that judging any book by the cover is not correct. But in a virtual world that has millions of such ‘books’ within access of the user with just a click, it needs a special front page or cover to allure the user into picking a ‘book’ up and reading through it. When was the last time you had visited a site with dull and drab information and a mass of textual explanations? Not after your graduation, I guess! Neither have any of your targeted users you intend to mark as your consumer base. Web design services have to be specific regarding this to achieve success.

So, what is the next step you take to spice up your site’s magnetism?

First and Foremost, Organize!
Simple as it seems, while initiating the organization of your site, you shall find the opposite to be true. Organizing your content, all the while optimizing the same for search engines is a Herculean task.

Your first hurdle is to overcome under-usage of relevant content. The best way around this is to organize your content into categories. And make that in descending order to gradually converge on a precise point. As an example, list Guns as a category. Thereafter list Revolvers, and then under it the name the Colt series. This allows your users to navigate easily to their area of interest, and therefore, stay on as prospective customers rather than irregular ones.

Color Your Site Correct!

Formatting and coloring your site’s content in an eyeball-grabbing way is the most important task of any web design service you have registered with. Color combination is one of the basic tools that help your site to stand out from the crowd.

To do so, first identify your target customer base – youth, office-workers, women, etc, all that you can identify with, what you are trying to cater through your site. Have your web design services provider color your front page in a way that it can attract the target base. For example, use bright colors for young customers while calmer and deeper ones for the executive grade.

Finally, design your site as creative and uncanny as you can, so that the visitors stay longer than they had expected to, enhancing your chances of making a sale.

Web Design Crafted “With SEO in Mind”

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

My last weekend turned out to be a rather productive one, though the sudden popping up of the ‘production time’ ensued due to a pleasing accident. My scheduled tour to my in-laws’ place took a back stand since my wife had a sudden change of mind. Well, all I was left with was ample time to spend my mornings on ‘nothing’! Yes, you have heard it right, since the new decision of hers was abrupt. The abundant spare time finally pushed me to my PC, turning the ‘nothing’ to ‘something’ worthwhile. Here is what I finally did.

As a web designer I planned to explore through my domain and came across several expert advice put up by many other web design specialists across the globe. Some of them were from my very own city, Toronto. Now, what did I really find out? While we are assigned the job of building the finest and traffic-grabbing web design, we usually overlook some ‘significant aspects to consider’ during the process of designing a website. A web design project must begin with the theory of SEO in mind. Yes, a web designer with adequate knowledge in SEO can design a website accordingly, ensuring that it is optimized for search engines.

Apart from the right use of colors, graphics, and pictures, a web designer must know ‘where to include the content’ in the web page. In case you own a web development firm in Toronto, and your enterprise employs an SEO analyst, make sure you include his expertise while designing a website. The appropriate zone to sport the links, the use of the right keywords are some of the points your SEO analyst can suggest you on. He can even offer you valuable suggestions on the overall site structure, internal and external links, and the content.
