Claim Your Place on The Internet Using Proper Web Design

by Stuart Spindlow Managing Director @ h1SKS Web Studi
The internet is pretty big. Google has a cache of over 3 billion pages. If you view one webpage every second, you still need 99 years to view all.

While many people can do a website design, only a few can effectively design a website. Designing aspect of a website is so important and yet, it is vastly overlooked. A website is your representative on the internet and a badly designed website doesn't talk favourably about you or your business.

Colour coordination is one of the most important factors. Ideally, one should use three distinct colour in a website, with different tints and hues. If more colours are used, it becomes a motley and less friendly for the users.

Next we should consider navigation. If the site is not easy to navigate then people will not stick around for much longer. Once you have designed your site, ask some friends and family members to test it. If it is easy to navigate, user engagement will be longer.

Recently, an Australian website has been fined $20,00 because they didn't encourage differently able people and those with weak eyesight to use the website properly. This makes accessibility a top priority in website design. Easy accessibility ensures more engaged users.

When you are done taking care of these factors, many website designing companies might tell you that the job is done. However, SEO is very deeply intertwined with a website design and thus few good agencies who provide website design in Essex might tell you to take it to the next stage, SEO.

Adding great content is the building block of any SEO. No site can rank without proper content. Add content which is unique, fresh and helps the users to find what they are looking for.

Now look for backlinks. Backlinks are those link on other websites which point to your website. Backlinks from authoritative websites can do wonders for any website to rank.

Adding alt tags are always encouraged in SEO, for images. These tags describe the image to different search engines.

Finally, be patient as it takes times for the SEO efforts to yield results.  The more popular a web search engine is, the tougher it is to get ranked. For example, you can rank easier on DuckDuckGo compared to Google. 

If you stick to these basic points, making the site visually beautiful and intuitive along with taking care of the SEO factors, you can find your place on the internet.
