Web Hosting Articles >> Creating Quality WebsitesCreating Quality WebsitesAuthor: M6.NetAdded: September 24, 2004 Views: 1,745 Rating: No Rating Yet Websites. There are 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 its about interaction. Youve got to make the visitor interested. Youve 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 its just not worthy. A good site uses easy navigation, relevant content, and interactive media like comments and message boards. If youre 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 youve never seen elsewhere? Isnt 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, youve 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 ‘viewers 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 civilians wallet. Some people will automatically leave a site if a bunch of commercials pop-up on the screen. Pop-ups, dont 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 youve 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 doesnt reflect your true self, youre destined to fail. Be honest and speak from your real perspective on life. Give it to us from the heart. By Jesse S. Somer, M6.Net http://www.m6.net Jesse S. Somer is some guy from somewhere wondering when the Internet will become the beacon of light it is destined to be. All it will take is a bit of accountability and honesty.
