| Building Your Own Web Site? Here are Two Critical Points to Consider
First let's look at site planning.
Your web site does not have to be grandiose and packed with
text. Organizing the flow of your site content is more
important, wasting your time agonizing over what picture or size
of logo to place on the top header will not help you sell
products and services. Professional web design companies can
advise you on that. Provide to your designer, your basic concept
and the purpose of your site. Your designer will create
something for you. What you can do is decide on the sections you
want included as this will help you organize your content. Think
about what the sections of your site will be titled and how they
will link together. This step will help you integrate the
graphics around the content so it blends in, giving you a more
compact and well planned design.
Choose a site structure, 2-column or 3-column will be based on
the size of your data and how you want it arranged. If you have
paragraphs and paragraphs of information you want your client to
read then a 2-column layout would fit your requirements. Here is
an example of how to get a clean layout from a two column design
- http://www.successnavigator.com Here is an example of a
2-column site with no proper planning -
http://www.quitsmokingchat.com/. Three column layouts are
generally used on web sites that have a lot of links with short
descriptions to them - http://www.mlmprofit.com, here is an
example of a 3-column site with a lot of links but EXCESSIVE use
of graphics overwhelming the look of the site -
http://www.dabs.com... something you should avoid in planning
your layout.
Selecting Colors for your Web Site
Finding the right color scheme is absolutely crucial because it
sets the theme of the entire site. Business web sites should not
have colors that irritate your eyes or shock you off your
chair... soft and readable gives you that look! The look that
tells the client that they are dealing with a real business and
not a fly-by-night operation. Let me show you the difference
between a professionally designed site with a business oriented
color scheme - http://www.moneymakingempire.com/, compared to
this - http://www.roadtowealth.com. The choice of colors and the
music in the background kills whatever chance they have left in
convincing clients that they know the secret to money-making
opportunities.
Summary
If you're going to spend hard earned money setting up an online
business, then you cannot make the mistake of having your
cousin's neighbor who read a web site design book once, be the
guy to design your site. Remember your web site is the one that
will compete in the world of e-business. Potential customers
form a first impression of your site and within seconds make a
decision of whether or not they want to do business with you!
Consider too, that you need a competitive edge. Getting a
