Web Design
A good Website is something related to user experience. This experience is the "effect" (the wow factor) your site has on visitors, and good effect means something, which becomes memorable in the visitor's mind. To make it memorable we require good content, graphics and user-friendly navigation.
A Website experience is great when it is useful, desirable and impact. So here are some points for consideration before designing Website
Goal and target - Goal of the Website (site's purpose) and who is the target audience?
Context - Layout, design (user-friendly layout) and color schemes.
Content - Text, pictures, sound, and video (must be useful information which achieves goals and interest to your audience).
Community - How can the site enable user-to-user communication ?
Customization - Site's ability to tailor itself to different users to allow users to personalize the site.
Communication - How the site talks to the visitor, site to user or two-way communications.
Connection - Degree that the site is linked to other sites.
Commerce - Site's capabilities for commercial transactions.
Your domain should be your company name.
Make a consistence in design. Changing interfaces is a potential barrier which should be avoided.
Make the content on your first page rich and explanatory.
Make your title clear. Clear title makes task clear.
Show the users what's new with the site and company.
Use focus and emphasis on the main product.
Proper use of images (meaningful and clean images).
Downloadable speed (pages load quickly and provide something to read almost instantly).
Pages are easy to navigate so that you can find what you want and most importantly, the content is useful and worthwhile.
Good interactivity engages the user and makes your site memorable.
