Urgent web designing tips


A website has to be thoroughly planned; content and media aggregated which take time, However sometimes you may not have the liberty to plan things over time. This article tries to point a few tips to keep mind when you have to hurry through the web design cycle.
  • Decide the number of pages you will need by creating a basic sitemap
  • Narrow down on your target audience, demographics etc (Do not target everybody)
  • Do a thorough competitor research
  • Shortlist your USPs to highlight on slider or other media
  • If you are an old business try and get testimonials from previous clients
  • Check if the layout provided by designer goes well with your logo
  • Never copy content from other sites as it's not an ethical practice
  • Check your website content for plagiarism on various sites available online
  • Do not over optimize your site for SEO
  • Ask the designer to use keywords in file names and image alt
  • Kindly inform your designer that you don't prefer justified text
  • Check for broken links
  • Check all aspects of the designer's works if you have to go with the cheapest option
  • Check site on multiple devices and browsers(older versions too)
  • Have a clear Call to action
  • Focus on usability
  • Keep forms simple: Lengthy forms are a turn away for most people.
  • Test the page load time: If your Pages are taking more than 5 seconds then it's more likely that your visitors will leave the page midway. Speak to your designer as to how to optimize by looking at browser caching, optimizing images, reducing HTML, minimalizing CSS and javascript
  • 301 Redirects: Make sure you have 301 redirects of your old pages to the new address. This ensures that people finding links to your old content will still be able to access it even though the URL has changed
  • Install google analytics: Analytics gives you an insight into how people are reaching your site and browsing through it. It will give you insights like bounce rate etc.
  • Submit your site to search engines

Once your site is launched you should concentrate on creating social media accounts to increase its visibility on the web.
Some of the places to begin with are
  • Twitter
  • Facebook
  • LinkedIn
  • Google Profiles
  • YouTube: if you have any video content
  • Flickr: if you have any interesting image content
It is important to connect your social media accounts from your website and vice versa.

HTML or CMS web design ?

I got a call from an old friend of mine the other day. The subject of his call was that He had been contacted by a web design  agency offering to develop a dynamic website for him and he seemed thrilled that he could create and edit pages on his own. He asked me if it was important to have a CMS website. My answer was "It depends".  A small website with no content being updated over a long period of time does not call for a CMS. A small website can be designed using HTML, the native language of the web. In a HTML website you can let your creativity flow without constraints. On the contrary a CMS website has lot of parameters to be kept in mind while going around with the development.  Who can use a CMS ? Anyone who can use a computer and having working knowledge of popular text editing software will not find it difficult working with a CMS. Wordpress is among the most user friendly CMS around. A client struggling with wordpress is definitely going to find it a nightma
