Website Design & Development

Web Design and DevelopmentThere are many aspects to the success or failure of any given website design, and each should be addressed when designing and developing your website. In most cases a website alone will not constitute a successful marketing campaign. Unfortunately when it comes to your website "If you build it, they will come" ends in success about as much as playing the lottery. A website is only part of a much larger system.  Read more...

Tips that make your website more user friendly

User Rating:  / 0
PoorBest 

The idea behind most websites are to deliver information, products or services to your users. But sometimes that end user can have difficulty finding the information, products or services that they are looking for. This usually means they end up leaving your website and may end up visiting a competitors website for their needs instead. In this article we will be discussing the importance of creating or updating your website so that it is easy for your users to find the information, products or services they need. Below you will find tips and information to consider when building a new or updating an existing website.

One of the first things to consider placing in your website is a search functionality. A  search field is one of the quickest ways for your users to find the information that they are looking for. Internet users are familiar with this process and this will be the most convenient and quickest ways for them to find the information they would like. Search fields are also a must have if you are wanting to sell any products online. Your users will not want to spend all day looking through your website to find the products they require and to put it bluntly.. they simply will not. So do yourself and your users a favor, integrate search functionality into your website this will result in lower bounce rates and your average time your users are on your website will go up.

Next you will want to make sure that all of your website's content has clear and descriptive titles and keywords. This is important because it helps your users find what they are looking for more quickly. Lets face it.. people do not like to read, most people when visiting a website will skim the website to see if they can find what they are looking for more quickly. Make sure you organize your content and bold your titles to encourage your users to visit that information. Placement of proper keywords will also let users know that they are in the right place, you should also consider using photos or images as well.

Another thing you will want your website to have is a sitemap. If your current website does not have this, you may want to ask your web designer to submit this for you. A sitemap is a list of pages of a website accessible to crawlers or users. It can be either a document in any form used as a planning tool for web design, or a web page that lists the pages on a website, typically organized in hierarchical fashion. This helps visitors and search engine bots find pages on the website ( Description provided by Wikipedia). Having a sitemap in your website will not only help your users but will also help the search engines crawl your website and rank your website better. For more information on how to submit a sitemap create yourself a Google Webmasters account.

Lastly, give your users a place where they can contact you. A simple way to achieve this is through a standard contact form. However, there are more interactive ways to achieve this as well such as forums and live chat. However you choose to let your users contact you, just know that if you give your users the peace of mind that they can easily get a hold of you will most likely render more visits and possible sales.
