Title: Set Your Website In Order
Author: Candice Pardue
Article:
One thing that will kill the potential for a website is the lack
of order for the web pages - especially the homepage.
If you're going to design your own website, be sure that you
find a pattern that will be appealing to your visitors and
design your website to follow the pattern.
You'll be amazed at the difference between the success of an
organized website and a disorganized website.
Here's why:
The organized website clarifies purpose and grabs the attention
of the "target" visitor right from the start. Organization
allows your visitor to relax and settle in to read the
presentation, click on links, and simply enjoy your website
without worry.
The disorganized website confuses the visitor, brings stress,
and often times causes the visitor to click out to go somewhere
else quickly. Once a visitor views your homepage, you've made
your impression on him/her - and it's an everlasting one.
Remember, you will not be able to stand over your visitors'
shoulders as they view your website and explain what you meant
to "say" or "do" on your site. The site itself must explain,
clarify, and lead your visitor to the goal.
How to Set Your Website in Order:
Below are five simple pointers to help create an organized
website that your visitors will enjoy:
1. State the purpose of your website at the very beginning of
the homepage.
2. Give a description, welcome, or presentation of your website
on the homepage if possible.
3. If you have a banner on your web page, place the
banner/graphic at the very top of your page, before "any"
writing (including your headline), or at the very bottom of your
web page, after your entire presentation.
4. Place your navigation links on the left or right side of your
web page. You may also place links at the top and/or bottom of
your page. But, try to avoid placing navigation links or
graphics in the middle of your web page presentation. This will
distract the visitor from reading the important information
about your website.
5. Narrow your website to only a few products which compliment
one another. Concentrate on these at first, and then expand to
other "related" products once you've built a solid visitor base.
The five above tips are given from experience. I've had to learn
these methods through trial and error, but you can now learn
from my experience and begin your new website with organization
and an appeal to your visitors.
Use these tips to make a lasting impression on your visitors,
and increase your potential for website success.
