As the internet reached the masses, the numbers of websites
on the internet increased significantly across Canada and the whole world. More websites led to competition, and now the
professionalism of the companies is adjudged by the website. A professional
website should look different from an ordinary website or a personal blog.
There is no benchmark for creativity in websites. But a website should have a
compelling design, i.e., classy, gives a great user experience and functions. Though
a web development
company is perfect in their work, you should also know the basics. There
are certain things that you should consider while you are
developing a
professional website for your company.
1. Focus on
relevant content on homepage
A person hardly read lengthy content on the websites. Show
some creativity in putting your relevant content with graphics so that it
should not look bad. Focus on keywords and break the larger text with the use
of sub headings. Don’t forget to mention the call to action.
2. Be Clear With
Your Design
Now, the computer is
not the only medium to use the internet. The Internet has come along a long
journey. Be creative in your design but make sure the content that you put
should not look bad when you see it on tablet or smartphone. You have a little
time to engage your user with your website. If the user finds it boring, he may
switch to some other. The website design should have a wide acceptability.
3. Create Readable
and Precise Website Content
You may be a Grammar Nazi. But never use such words which
may be unfamiliar to most of the people. The readability of your website should
very high; resultantly, your user will scan information without putting extra
effort. Readability of a website is adjudged by the type of font, size of font,
color, and background. While designing you went on an extra mile for
creativity, but choose the colors wisely and carefully unless you want to
sacrifice the readability. 16 points is an ideal font size for websites and use
Sans Serif font.
4. Easy to Navigate
You will not want to send your user on a wild goose hunt. A
good
web development company always keep in mind
that their creativity can’t ignore the basic elements which are common on every
website. Link your logo to your homepage will save some of the user’s time
while searching for the home tab. Your menu should include all your important
section. Usage of some vertical navigation will help the user when he has
scrolled down to last pages. The footer of your website should have the content
details, FAQs, and link to your social media handles.
5. Mobile Friendly
Gone are the days when the people wait to reach home and
then start browsing. Now, with smartphones, they can search for websites
anywhere, anytime. Smartphone gives the flexibility and mobility to users. Now,
the world has more smartphones than computers and laptops together, maybe. So,
make sure that you ask your web developer to make your website mobile friendly.
