How Important is Content to a Successful Website - Web-Design

How Important is Content to a Successful Website

Content is the most important part of any website.

The Internet was created in the first place as an information source. If
the content on your site does not provide the information needed by its
users it will provide little in the way of value to your visitors who surf
for information on many subjects. They require answers or solutions to
their problems, needs, desires and wants. Provide the answers and they
will return again and again.

A website is simply a way to communicate whatever message you want to get
across. This message needs to answer visitor's questions or satisfy their
need for knowledge. To achieve this aim you will need a content rich
website. The content will need to be relevant up to date and well
organized and should be written uniquely for each page of your website and
should be written as if you are talking to the customers.

Include such items as articles, tips, tutorials things that will hold your
visitors interest and get them to return to your site again and again.

Update your content weekly this keeps the site fresh and interesting and
Search Engines are always looking for website which offer information
useful for their visitors. A horrible site, which is full of information,
will out nearly always, out perform a site, which is great on the eye but
lacks any real body (content poor).

When writing content use familiar words and avoid using jargon; which many
visitors may not understand.

Keep the number of words to a sentence and the number of sentences within
a paragraph to a minimum.

A content rich website which is full of text rather than images will be
Search Engine friendly. Search Engines collect their data using spiders.
Spiders cannot see images or graphics only text. They can only move from
page to page via a text link so it is crucial to have text links to your
main section of your website on every page.

Remember to design your website to attract both the visitors and Search
Engines. This is essential if you wish your site to be successful.

All the best

Is A Picture Really Worth a Thousand Words?
The great debate: how much copy you should have on your site, particularly
on the home page?Do you subscribe to the idea that a picture is worth a
thousand words--and therefore images, not a lot of text, should be the
main thrust of your home page? Or do words have more power to capture a
visitor's attention and compel them to buy--meaning you should aim for
powerful copy?As a graphic designer, my natural inclination is to create
graphically-rich, light text websites. Since I'm focused on what a site
looks like visually, I like using impressive images, bold splashes of
color all over the page, and not very much copy.
