Website creation 101 guide

This is a guide on what you should, and what you shouldn’t put on your website.

 Here are a few things to think about:

• Why you are creating this site?
  • Is it to sell a product, to grow awareness of your business?
    • You need to make your site fit with the reason behind it.
• Who is the target audience?
  • Age?
    • If the site is made for young people, animations and fun characters may be useful to draw your customers in.
    • If the site is aimed at the older generation, keep it all simple. I understand that some of the older generation may not have an issue with using the internet, but the vast majority will like it simple.
  • Language?
    • Not everyone speaks and understands the same language. Integrate a translate system into your site.
  • What colours are your business?
    • Make your businesses website colours match with your business and its logo.

 Here are some tips:

• Don’t overload your home page with useless information.
• Ensure the site is mobile friendly
• Make sure it is readable
• Use icons as buttons, this makes it easier to navigate. 
• Have a Contact page
  • There are many HTML contact form makers out there, some include:
    • Microsoft Forms
    • Google Forms

• Use a short and memorable domain
  • Short domains could be an abbreviation

• Have a Meta title, description and image
  • Having Meta information for your website allows users and future clients to “preview” your website before they click on it.
  • This helps your site to stand out when sharing the site on social media or messages.
