Website Design North Devon

With millions of websites online and more being added daily, how do you make yours unique and stand out from the crowd?

 You should consider the following:

Audience Think about your target market. Who is looking at your site already? Who are you looking at attracting to your site? Once you know this, then it makes it a little easier to think about the way your site’s content and layout.Look at Search Engine Optimisation and research what people actually search for, then you can find the best words and phrases for your web site to be listed under. These are the words and phrases that will bring you the most relevant traffic.

Objective Think about what you want to achieve from your website. With an objective in place you can market your site exactly to the right audience. If you don’t even know what you want from your website, how are you going to get it to stand out?

Layout   Consider a bespoke layout for your website- one that is tailored exactly to your needs and goals. By creating something unique, you will look different from your competitors and the user will find your website more interesting as it doesn’t look like everyone else’s. Make sure your layout is appealing, usable and effective.

Navigation Make sure your website is easy for the user to get round. You need to make sure that all of the links are working; nothing is more frustrating to a user to click on a link and find it does nothing.
If you have too many links, consider drop down menus, so that the user isn’t confused by all the possible links and is not sure on which one to go to. Use clear and precise headings for each page so that the user knows what each page will contain.

If visitors can’t use your site, they will simply leave and never become customers, so make sure your navigation is user friendly.

Content Your pages on your site need to load fast and immediately- someone coming across a slow loading page will soon be bored and will come off your site and look at your competitor instead.Make sure the content is written in a way that is easy for your readers to understand, try not to use too much technical jargon as people won’t know what this means and get fed up and leave your site. One of the most important things with content is to make sure it is kept up to date and relevant.
