UK Website Design - Website Design Advice

Every website will include a home page. A web page that serves as an entry point to your site. Your home page is vitally important from your customer's point of view. It will determine whether they feel they should click on to find out more, or click away. Make the title clearly visible. If someone is looking for pine furniture and that is what your site is about, the first word they must see is "Pine Furniture"

Navigation Advice
Be sure to have a clear and structured site menu. These are links on every page that link all your web pages together, as you can see this site has internal links on every page. If someone visits my site looking for website design prices, they can clearly see the "website design prices" link on every page they are on. It is vital to avoid forcing your visitor to trawl through the whole site, wading through masses of information that they are not interested in, just to reach that section they are looking for.

Choose whether you would like long scrolling pages or short ones
Long scrolling web pages for each section? or split the information up in to separate short pages? There are no rules here. The choice is yours. The only advice we can give is to think about whether you want your visitor to be clicking all the time and having to wait for new pages to constantly download for the information. If your website has separate themes, or could get confusing if all the information is placed together, separating it out on to different pages is the best way to make it informative, clear and human-friendly. It will heavily depend on what your site is about. We will help you decide on this matter when your pages are being constructed.

Be sure to have contact information on every page. You never know what bit of information, or which web page will persuade your visitors buy, so it is vital you make it as easy as possible for them click once, and contact you. Include email contacts, a phone number, (for those wishing to speak to an actual human being) and an address. That way, you are sure to guarantee that anyone who visits your site can somehow get in contact with you.
