If you are ready to take the plunge into launching an online presence through a website, here are some things you need to know as you go through the process.
a
First, you need to know the differences among the professionals you will contact about the services needed. You will come across website developers, website designers and graphic designers.
a
A designer is the one who produces the overall design and look of the site, whereas a developer deals more with the program side of things. The graphic designer is the one who will put the graphics up on the top of most of the sites that you see online along with buttons and menus and other things like that.
a
Many times you can find someone who does at least two and sometimes all three of the above.
a
As the one who will benefit from the site, the key thing to keep in mind as you have a site developed is to make sure that it is very simple, functional and easy to navigate before you promote it heavily.
a
Those in the design side of things especially like to add too many things that in their view are cool and graphically good to look at. The problem is that most customers don’t have any interest whatsoever in those types of additions.
a
Have a nice graphic on the top of your site. If you have any products you need to have shown for the purpose of your customers, by all means add those. Just don’t let anybody talk you into needless graphics that don’t relate to your customer.
