Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Good web developers think like business owners, they understand what a web site must do:

-Market and target your audience on the web
-Get the message across clearly
-Display information so that it is easy to find
-Provide easy and clear way to contact you or buy your product

When you choose a web designer ask the following questions
- does there portfolio  show easy to navigate sites?
- is it easy to read information on these sites?
- does the design show clear understanding of audience?

Useful websites need to be easy to find, good designers have good understanding natural seo and with further work do effective seo

Designer should be able to suggest ideas to make your site work well
- help you with guidance of what is required

Good web design is focused on simplicity, Clear easy to navigate pages giving competitive advantage that makes you stand out on the Internet and Navigation should be consistent from page to page and easy.
Things to consider – What do you want people to do when they come to your website?
- “call to action” should be clear and simple
- Do you want them to call you, email you or fill out a form? this should be very clear should never be more than a click away.
- Is the buy of a product a simple process?
- The paths should always be clear and simple

Have you got a website or registered your domain name?

I was searching the net the other day for a new domain name, but I was not having any luck. The domains names I was looking for where all gone. I tried and tried different variations but no luck. It was mad. I had the same response from a friend who was also looking for a domain name, but the domain he wanted was already taken and the owner wanted 2k for it.  He must have initially brought it for dollars/pounds,  2k he wanted how mad/great is that??

It makes you think right? domain names are becoming rare and you are getting situations where you start selling or exchanging domain names. Some will have more value then others and people are buying them up, with the aim of future potentials buying them off them.

A recent report said that in about 2010 the number of online purchases will rise from about 20% to about 30%… is that it??? We are only making 20% worth of purchase online at the moment???…. 20%!!! that’s nothing!. The web has huge potential.

My Advice is , get domain names while you can and get a website for sure. Imagine having a “.com” domain that everybody wants and people are willing to pay thousands for it…. You never know right! And setting up a simple blog may drive thousands and thousands of traffic to your site.

Get domain names for your name, your business, your ideas or even for fun. Setting up something simple on them is relatively easy these days.
