Remember that coming up with a website that is well designed and well
developed isn’t an easy task at all. You need to come with all the best
possible resources at hand to come up with a website that makes itself
prominent. For this, the foundation must be strong. Factors like selection of
related domain name, keyword research, extra ordinary web designing, coding and great
SEO techniques are some of the key things that guarantee a great website.
So here are some of the do’s of web development that you need
to consider.
Good domain name:-
A good,
suitable, and related domain name is the first striking factor. It is like a store
front, either people will be attracted towards it or they will just walk past it
for a better one. There are some things that must be in your mind before
selecting the name of the domain. These include its easiness, being catchy and
memorable.
Also, those
domain names should be avoided to the fullest which are confusing and that can
be misspelled. What you should do is not to choose long domains having hyphens.
Simply saying, such domain name should be chosen that’s short, easy and about
which you can easily talk about.
Plan your website properly:-
Planning is the key in the initial stages of web
development and starting without it will be equivalent to wasting
your resources. These key factors must be kept in view like the targeted
audience, website’s purpose, monetizing it, its SEO and the main keywords. A
site map must be sketched to know the number of pages that will be needed for
the site and also how to link these pages to one another.
Also, the most important information need to be
given priority and it must be figured out which is the important info that
needs to be presented. Set the purpose and goal of the website and what you
want it to be because these two will help you in figuring whether the site is
on the right path or not. So, don’t leave the planning process when starting
the web development process.
Make it user friendly:-
Visitors
need to be accommodated and presented with information upfront. They are lazy
and want everything in front of them in seconds. This means you can't hide or put
the information in a place where it is hard to reach, hard to find or where it takes more time to reach. This will not only make them unhappy but will force them to leave your site.
Give them
the ease which they are looking for. It means easy navigation and making the
site user friendly. These things must be ensured like, an easy to search menu
bar at the top, readable and attractive font and no busy backgrounds etc. If a
visitor finds it difficult to navigate or find information then the site
contains flaws and needs improvement.
Usage of styles:-
The more
stylish your site the more visitors will it attract. Say yes to CSS or Cascading
Style Sheets as it will gee up your site. Basically, it streamlines HTML
programming because it separates the design and appearance from the document
structure.
By using the
style sheets, the designing of the site can be changed without you having to
edit each and every page. CSS benefits the process of web development in
two ways, firstly, you don’t have to labor the designing all over again and
secondly the HTML coding remains neat and trim.
Optimize it:-
When looking
for a long-term success, you need to go for reliable SEO services provider. If you are doing it yourself then you need to consider that SEO when done right, means the survival and upward push of your site in rankings. Well sought out
keywords must be in the title, section headers and the links of the web pages.
Make full use of the social media marketing
platforms to propel your site and to advertise your services/products and
customer feedback.
Prioritize quality content:-
One main
factor that energizes the SEO is the human visitors. Web development
experts are of the view that “if you want
to make search engines happy, first make their users happy.” Visitors must
be given useful information that they are looking for, that benefits them.
Quality, genuine and informative content, intended just to benefit and cater the
audience is what allows a site to soar above others.
Don’t create
content for search engines like Google, Bing or
Yahoo, create it for people. In fact, if your content is liked by audience and people like staying on
your site for the content and the useful information it provides, the site will automatically rise in
the search rankings and search engines will start trusting your site.
