Web
Site Design
How
to develop a website business for users not search engines.
Analyze the competition for content and keywords Use good site
design, navigation and correct HTML code.
Develop
an outline plan of the purpose for the site. "Fail to Plan,
Plan To Fail" You should look at the site as you would
any business. When the customer comes in the door do you have
what you said you would on the outside of the store. I know
if I enter a store called "Men's Clothes For All"
that says it has a special on men's clothing on a big sign outside
and I get inside and find they sell women's cosmetics, I will
leave and probably never enter that store again in my life.
That is what search engines work to eliminate and what honest
web-design-companies will avoid. Each page needs a title of
its own, description, and content.

a great looking web site in Minutes - no experience necessary;

Analyze
the competition by searching for your content on the internet.
Look at the ones that are listed in the top 5 of your search results.
Make notes of keywords that they used to get listed in the search
engines. Later you will want to use similar architecture that
the best competitors used. DO NOT COPY them.
Use your analysis of what they have to develop your own unique
layout and content.
Break
down your content into what would easily fit onto a standard sheet
of paper. Use relevant keywords in the page text, picture descriptions,
and links off of the page.
Give
each page a Title that incorporates keywords from your content.
This should ideally be at the top of the pages content as well
as in the Meta Tag.

a short description that accurately describes each page. Place
this below the title of the page. This text should be used as

a great web site - no experience necessary!.
Site
Design:
- Create
a navigation structure that will reach every page you have
created.
- A site
map is useful to help users navigate if the site is very large.
- Make sure
each page of the site is informative and useful to the user.
- Use words
in the site content you would search for yourself if you were
looking for that page.
- It is best
to use text for your links instead of Graphics.
- Make sure
your Title Tag accurately describes the page and that the
Image Alt tags describe the image.
- Check the
entire site for broken links and correct HTML code.
- Dynamic
pages should be reserved for information some where within
the site. NOT the main page. Some search engines can not retrieve
information from these pages.
- Do not
exceed more than 100 links on any particular page.
Designing
a Website
Designing
a website yourself, especially if you already have a professional
logo designed, is not a difficult process with the right tools.
Two excellent and frequently-used programs to help in this process
are Microsoft FrontPage 2003 and Dreamweaver MX . You can also
learn to program in HTML, the primary website design language
with a very useful HTML tutorials: Using Html 4 .
If
you are not a great artist are good at initiating the design
you can find a lot of templates for free across the internet
of so so quality.

Impact templates will give you everything you need to get started
with the highest quality templates to be found. .
If
you are seriously starting a business for a product and do not
have web design experience you should consider using a professional
design service. You can normally get a website up and running
for $500.00 or less without the hassle of doing all the thinking.
