Having a business website
does not guarantee web success. To be successful your website must have
appeal, framework, functionality and above all clear-cut objective of
achieving web ROIs – after all a business website is a for profit
enterprises, and meeting ROI and cutting costs is an integral element of
scoring profit.
You’ll find hundreds of articles dealing with
aesthetics of website design and layout. There are hundreds of articles
dealing with web architecture, structure, and development tools as well.
However, I believe that such things should be left to the
professionals. Individuals like us do not have the luxury to get into
the think of website design and development. My advice is to hire a
company, preferable a custom web design company,
and collaborate with them to give you a website that fits the needs and
demands of your business/organization. Most web design companies offer
Professional logo design
solutions as well, so you don’t have to worry about that either. What
I’m interested in here is the cost saving elements of website design.
It’s
very important for a business to have a website that is visitor
friendly. It usually entails a website that has clear and logical and is
well planned and thought out. However, as stated earlier, it’s equally
important for you to have a website that is easy to use and inexpensive
to keep up. Content Management Systems (CMS) are an extremely effective
means of achieving this aim. Content Management Systems provide novices
(users with limited understanding of web programming or mark-up
languages) to manage website content with relative ease. In terms of
scope CMS solutions vary in degree and size. Some CMS solutions offer
users limited controls, while other let users fiddle with every nook and
cranny of their site – it all depends on requirements.
A recent survey by Beyond, revealed that search engine like Google, Yahoo!
and Bing control an normal consumer’s decision making process and
purchase choice by a factor of 98 per cent. These figures were
especially valid for categories like automobile, electronics, travel and
fashion etc. In actual fact, according to beyond, search engines (in
particular Google) have become the prime source of influence in a myriad
of sectors. So as in the case of CMS, no right minded businessperson
can ignore the importance of search engine marketing. Search engine
marketing, also referred to Search Engine Optimization (SEO), is one of
the most powerful, and low cost mediums of marketing products/services
available on the web. From augmenting brand awareness to becoming the
virtual top-dog of the industry, SEO in its various forms, is there to
help you channel more targeted traffic and eventually more leads and
conversations to your website. In fact it has been deemed the most
effective and efficient means of meeting web ROIs in existence – and
that’s a certified FACT!
I’d say that it definitely pays to
know each element of your website; however it’s not a mandatory need.
Simply get a good web design or logo design company to give you a sharp
looking website that has a CMS, and is synchronized with the latest SEO techniques. Remember, as mentioned previously, a good design can affect your site’s performance on search engines,
and can actually turn incoming leads into paying customers. So do focus
on these elements – it could mean the difference between success and
failure.
