Good Website Facts
A good web
site is one that:
meets the needs of the targeted visitor,
is credible, & meets your objectives.
|
Studies show that to be credible, your web site should:
- Present a professional appearance
- Clean, easy-to-read text
- Good color balance
- Clear, good-quality graphics
- Good fit in browser windows
- Its own domain name
- Ad-free hosting
- Good design and layout
- Function Properly
- Free of JavaScript errors and other programming
errors
- Free of broken links and missing images
- Provide information clearly,
concisely, and coherently
- Good grammar and spelling
- Good focus and organization
- Useful information
- Product and/or Service information
- Contact information
- Policies (Shipping, Support, Guarantees, Privacy
Policy)
- Have some degree of recognition
or referral.
Visitors are more likely to become customers if they recognize
your name from advertisements,
word of mouth, reviews, or testimonials.
- Studies have shown
that if a site doesn’t load within 8 to 15 seconds,
many visitors will leave.
What makes a web page so slow to load?
Most reasons are due to the computer, the connection, or the site
itself.
Quite often the web site itself is the biggest hindrance.
Large graphics may not have been compressed or optimized; therefore
having very large file sizes and large images taking longer to download.
Users on a dial-up connection may get bored moving onto other sites
(yes, there is still a large percentage of people in the world on
dial-up connections!).
