A little bit about website design and what it can do for you.
The internet is the encyclopedia on this day and age. Anything can be found on its world wide database and why shouldn’t your company? A website is a very cost effective and proven marketing tool that once properly designed and uploaded, will and can provide people across the globe with the vital information about your company, its goals and services as well as branding your logo for company advertising and recognition.
When conceptualizing your website, there are a few key techniques in making it better and user friendly.
Load times are very important, as I’m sure many of you who have gone to any website have found. When going to a heavily graphically website, you tend to have to sit and wait for the ever so slowly loading bar to finish so that you can enter the website. This makes people impatient often tend close the page before even entering the site. This is a loss in a potential client and we don’t want that.
Skyscape Visualizations are able to add SEO (search engine optimization) techniques to all of our websites so that our clients benefit by getting them ranked higher in search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing which gets more people (AKA internet traffic) to visit your site. Along with this we give you log in details to an analytics page that gives all kinds of breakdowns on your site's traffic, monitoring the amount of people that visited your site, where they are situated in the world, how they found your site and more.
A few things to have ready in order to streamline the website design process
Your website is going to need to be hosted on the internet by a hosting provider. These provide you with a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) which enables you to have a www.yourwebsitename.co.za or www.yourwebsitename.com address. Skyscape Visualizations don’t offer direct hosting but we have a list of providers that we can recommend to you.
The website is going to need the content or copy to be written about everything that you want to display on it. Accompanying the text, you are going to collect all graphic materials such as photos, video clips or renders that you want to display.
The general pages to take into consideration when gathering the content are the home, products, services, about and contact pages. Additional pages are possible depending on your needs for your website.
The content of your website should be very legible, well structured and layed out in a way that will allow people to browse and find exactly what they are looking for with ease. The content needs to be written in a way that when even the most unknowledgeable person reading about the product, must understand exactly what you are trying to sell. This is especially important when the content is of a more technical field.
Your webpage needs to have an attractive style and sleek look that graphics give but the content needs to explain and sell yourself, your company and its services or products.
