WEB PAGE DESIGN

The Internet is the shop window to the world for any business or organization. A web site should therefore portray a business or organization in the best possible way whilst functioning in an acceptable manner for the viewer. Much time and effort has been spent researching the habits of the web browser discovering that viewers regard speed of the site loading and ease of site navigation as the most important factors of any site. If the viewer has to wait for slow and elaborate graphics to appear, they often leave the site before the front or index page has fully loaded onto the screen. We therefore do not design web sites with large and extensive graphics packages, just simple effective sites.

It is also important to consider that once a web site has been constructed and placed on the Internet, visitors need to find it. The client needs to incorporate the web site address on all their stationary and advertising to allow the best possible publicity to the web site. It is also the responsibility of the designer to incorporate the necessary features to allow the automated systems of the Internet to discover and revisit your site to ensure your presence on search engines (i.e. Google etc.) is maintained. Site promotion however is an extensive and complicated sector that is not covered within a design package other than the basic design scripting.

The front or index page of any web site gives the viewer the first impression of the company or organization. It should therefore be clear and concise and offer easy access to all areas of the site. There are two basic types of web site on the Internet:

1. INFORMATION SITES: A site designed to pass on information about a company or organization without the facility to sell services or goods on-line.
2. ECOMMERCE: Sites designed to directly sell products or services on-line. The site may contain information as above, but offers the viewer a secure purchasing environment when required.

INFORMATION SITES

How much do you spend on advertising to publicize your company or organizations- hundreds or thousands? There are three guarantees when you place an advertisement:

1. The advertising agency, company or organization responsible for selling you the advertisement have made money before you've sold a thing!
2. You will be restricted by costs to the amount of space or time available for the advert.
3. You will be restricted by the location of the advert to the number of individuals capable of viewing it.

For a fraction of your advertising budget you could showcase your company or organization to the world wide web. Virtually unlimited in terms of space, a 50MB site will host several thousand text pages available to the ever growing population of Internet users. Your site does not need to be complicated or expensive to design.

The page you are viewing is part of a simple web site designed to show the Internet services of Ernehale Web Solutions . There is nothing 'flashy' or elaborate about this site, it simply contains the information the viewer requires whilst being simple, quick and easy to use. The site consists of a 'header bar' featuring the company name and logo together with a brief description of the services available. Beneath is the navigation bar. The navigation bar allows the viewer to navigate or select which area of the site to visit. It also contains one of the most important areas of the site, contact details allowing the viewer to contact the company or organization as a result of their visit. The rest of the page is dedicated to information that will hopefully keep the viewers interest and encourage them to visit the rest of the site. This site also offers the facility for the viewer to complete forms and return data that allows Ernehale Web Solutions to follow a direct enquiry.

Information sites are less complicated to design than ecommerce, and may consist of just a simple index or front page, or may contain as many pages as necessary to impart the required information.
