The Web can carry a whole plethora of media – video, audio, interactive apps, social media – but ‘reading text’ is still by far, the dominant method for engagement and publishing information on the Web.
But what if your text is difficult to read, or simply just poorly designed and uninviting?
Virtually every organisation needs to ‘communicate’ their existence, in order to function – and based on circumstances, there are hundreds of ways to do this. However, for most the easiest, most cost-effective and effective means, is to create a website.
We’ve given our sister website ‘GetaWebsite‘ a major overhaul, both in terms of design and content. This website has been available for over a decade and has proved very popular. However, we must admit we’ve neglected it somewhat in recent years.
But not anymore – all new, modern advice on how best to get your website up and running. Follow best practice and avoid those deep, dark pitfalls.
When we design websites, usability is always our top priority, above all else. But it’s shocking how many websites we see, where usability hasn’t been given a second thought.
Usability is intrinsic to good web design. If your website’s usability is poor – your website has been poorly designed.
We wouldn’t even consider producing a website for you without first having a complete understanding of your central aims (Project Objectives & Requirements), and who the website is for : your target audience.
Like it or not, the way your website looks is extremely important. Scientific research has shown that, even before a single word of text is read, the first ‘impression’ the website visitor gets, is entirely a visual one.
