When designing Web pages for your company, what are the prime considerations that you would adopt?

the main thing is accessibility. As of late 2004 all commercial sites in the western world must meet W3C guidelines level one. In the UK, now all public sector sites must reach level 2. By not making your site accessible to those with special needs you are cutting out a significant proportion of your customer base.

Also. Make sure that critical data is always visible in the main window without having to scroll down...

Make sure that the most common tasks (purchasing an item for example) are done in the least possible steps. I recommend testing your designs out on ur gran and ask her where she would go to buy a certain product (example)

Read %26quot;Don%26#039;t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability,%26quot; by Steve Krug. It is the best available guide. Every web designer should read it before they create a single site. I%26#039;m not kidding. It%26#039;s that good.

Here%26#039;s the listing on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Make-Me-Think...

Other Replys:I know when I was working on creating a website for an organization I worked for Accessibility was a HUGE issue. Website need to function for as many people as possible. So consider what differently abled people might be using your site and figure out what it is you need to do to make it accessible to them, or you could lose the business.

Also asthetics is huge; it needs to appeal to the person viewing it. It also needs to be organized and functional. If people can%26#039;t find what they are looking for quickly it becomes extremely frustratong and they will decide to look elsewhere.

Some good advice I was given when I was working on website projects was look at your favourite websites and see what they have in common. Find websites that you hate and figure out what it is you hate about them. Also check out a desktop publishing book. It might give you some tricks and ideas on how to make your site the most useful and appealing.

Best of luck!

Other Replys:The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is to first set up a website and publish its domain name on major search directories such as Google.com, Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/... and MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these search directories to provide them with goods and services. In a sense, these search directories are a very large Internet Yellow Pages.

You may want to consider some simple algorithms which, when observed and committed in designing of a website with placement of various critical metatags that can surely achieve a high search engine presence and increase Internet traffic to your website. These metatag strategies work well with published webpages at Google and Yahoo.

Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based website, make sure to fill-in the property entries such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can be readily indexed by search robots.

A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text, is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.

Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots are unable to properly classify textual material.

Placement of Metatags:

A ranking or search order does take place with Google and Yahoo and it begins with the %26quot;Title%26quot; metag which should consist of no more than 65 characters separated by commas. The %26quot;Title%26quot; should describe in generic terms, the goods and services, followed by a location from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state. The placement of a domain name which is not generic within the %26quot;Title%26quot; is not appropriate, unless your domain name is a major recognizable brand name.

The second metatag is the %26quot;Description%26quot; which is usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which best describes one%26#039;s goods and services.

And the very last category - %26quot;Keywords%26quot; are also somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries which could be mistaken as %26quot;spamdexed entries%26quot; which is defined as the loading, and submission of repetitive words into a particular metatag category. %26quot;Spamdexing%26quot; when discovered on a webpage and reported to Google%26#039;s spamreport.com can result in the elimination of your website from their search directory.

Here%26#039;s an example of a very highly-placed website on Yahoo.com: Begin with the search query %26quot;pizza downtown los angeles.%26quot; It will bring up some 1.4 million+ websites as results. Check out where %26quot;Pizza Next Door%26quot; is ranked. It%26#039;s in the Top Five! Again, Pizza Next Door%26#039;s high web presence was achieved by proper web design and placement of relevant metatags according to Yahoo%26#039;s publication guidelines.

Good luck!
