More: Your Web Site Plan
On all pages, be consistent in “look and feel” and in navigation methods
- Give each page a consistent background and set of navigation links or icons.
- Use meaningful key words or icons for these links so the viewer knows what will be found when they select it.
Select graphics and photographs that match the site’s purpose
- Use appropriate graphics to communicate the concept of your company, service or product.
- When an enlarged graphic might be helpful, give the visitor the option to open it by clicking on a “thumbnail” (a smaller version of the graphic). This reduces the time required for loading the page. This gives the viewer the option of viewing/not viewing an enlarged graphic.
Content must be relevant and current
- Provide information that is clear and interesting to your visitor, with links to additional details if needed.
- Consistently update your site for relevance and accuracy. Hire or assign someone who has the necessary time and skills to maintain your site.
- Link to sites outside your site only when serious consideration has been given to how the links would benefit your site. (You may “lose” your viewer!)
Invite feedback
- Indicate on the site that inquiries and suggestions are welcome. Offer visitors several ways to respond: email – fax – phone – snail mail.
