Websites, there's literally billions of them out there in cyber-space. How
many of them do you go to and just think this is boring, bland, or hard to
use? It seems like too many to mention. So what makes a good website? I
reckon it's about interaction. You've got to make the visitor interested.
You've got to grab their attention. Many sites use plenty of bright and
shiny gimmicks to attract you, but once you make it through to the content
of the site it's just not worthy. A good site uses easy navigation,
relevant content, and interactive media like comments and message boards.
If you're fortunate, whoever builds your site may even have a few tricks
up their sleeves to make it really fun with sound, video, and other
interactive fun stuff.
Do you want people to come to your site and then tell their friend and
family about it? Do you want to have huge amounts of visitors? Do you want
to succeed in making your dreams come to fruition on the Web? Make your
website exciting! It might be easier said than done, but there are people
around whose job it is to construct and design sites for a living. If you
can afford it, go for the best. How great is it when you come across a
site that has some special feature that you've never seen elsewhere? Isn't
it great when you find a site that relates to one of your interests that
is simple and easy to get to the information you want? If you want to have
people to come back again and again, you've got to keep updating the
content to keep it fresh and interesting. Have a way for people to
communicate with yourself and others who are into the same things. E.G.
Forums, message boards and comments. The aim is to catch the 'viewer's'
interest. A lot of sites just look like giant advertisements and you
have to search for the needle in the haystack to find out what the actual
site is for. I know advertising is a way of making money, but if you want
your site to have an authentic, respectable atmosphere that exudes a
feeling of integrity, you better be careful. People are becoming wary of
this consumer driven, mindless attack at the average civilian's wallet.
Some people will automatically leave a site if a bunch of commercials
pop-up on the screen. Pop-ups, don't even make me go there? So, the aim
of the game is to make a site that offers the public to be part of the
action as well as being a source of knowledge or information that is in
demand. A simple to navigate, good 'feel', and if possible-innovative site
is the means to becoming the popular Internet magnate you've always
dreamed of becoming. Another important fact is the idea of 'you'. Your
website is a chance to put your identity out there in the world. Be
yourself. If you try to appeal to an audience in a way that doesn't
reflect your true self, you're destined to fail. Be honest and speak from
your real perspective on life. Give it to us from the heart.
