What Makes A Good Web site?

A good web site design must by fast loading, easy to navigate, informative, and eye-catching. These are all important factors for every web designer to keep in mind. The purpose for any web site is not just to get traffic but also to keep those visitors on your web site. If your web site doesn't follow these standards, your visitors will leave your site very quickly.

Your web site must be fast loading. It's been proven time and again, if a web site doesn't load within 35 seconds or less, your visitors are likely to give up and go to another site. You want your visitors to stay on your site so it has to load quickly.

Web sites are supposed to be user friendly. This is why you need to make sure your site is easy to navigate. If your visitors cannot find what they are looking for easily, they become frustrated and won't waste time trying to figure out how to get from one place to another. This not only discourages your visitors from conducting business with you or returning to your site, but you can also count on the fact they will not recommend your site to other either.

The content of your web site is extremely important. The content should be informative and easily understood. There are a lot of web sites on the internet and if your site doesn't give your visitors plenty of information right up front, there are a number of other sites that will. When your site is well written and well planned, you provide your visitors with the information they want and give them a reason to keep coming back.

An eye-catching web site is not only visually appealing but it also shows creativity and professionalism. Nice, clean, crisp images that load quickly are noticeable without distracting your visitors from the content of your site. Flashing banners, cheesy animations, and other visual effects can end up having a negative effect and actually drive traffic away.

Once you have made sure your web site is fast loading, easy to navigate, informative, and visually appealing, you need to make sure your web site if found by people searching for the products and/or services you have to offer. The majority of all web site traffic comes from the search engines. This means you have to make sure your web site gives the search engines plenty of the RIGHT information to index and rank your site. This requires optimizing your content for your visitors AND the search engines. The primary thing to keep in mind about search engine spiders is that they do two things: read text and follow links. Make sure your web site gives them plenty of both.

If you follow these guidelines, you'll have a good web site that is user friendly and works for everyone...especially you!
