Plan

Make sure you know what the aims for your website are and who your target audience is.

Consistency

Keep a consistent design throughout your websites’ pages. This is of particular importance to the navigation menu – don’t make it hard for a visitor to navigate their way around your site.

Use web-safe fonts

Make sure you use a web-safe font for body text, or a licensed font-face. This is because not all computers have the same fonts, so stick to the ones that are universal.

Hand-code with the correct use of HTML

Make sure your headings are in H1 tags, images have an alt tag and ideally navigation menus should use unordered lists (<li>). Style your site using CSS.

If possible, employ the services of a professional web design company in Sheffield, or your local area. Years of expertise in web design will really pay off for your site and business.

Websites can make money

A website can be used to directly make money. This could be via selling goods (ecommerce), through selling advertising space or subscriptions for a service.

Websites are an advertising tool

An online brochure for your company is a lot more flexible, has a global reach and very inexpensive to maintain compared to printed literature.

Websites are an extension of your brand

Your customers are online, why aren’t you?

If a potential customer searches for a keyphrase in a search engine and your competitor’s website comes up as a result, but you don’t, then you have lost a potential sale.

And the reasons of course don’t end there!

Hope you enjoy!
