Web Site Design in Cyprus

Many web designers fail to take into consideration the fundamental building blocks which constitute solid web site design or indeed the fact that the bulk of their clients do not benefit from a technical background.
SEO Technology’s long standing experience of search engine optimisation provides our design team with a detailed understanding of what makes a successful web site, including high-impact graphics, an intuitive navigation system, ‘clean code’ and a solid site structure.

Whilst there are of course other considerations, the following three basics constitute the foundation of successful web site design, whether it be for commercial or personal purposes.

The three basics of web site design:

1. An intuitive user interface
   Web sites should be predictable to non-technical visitors.
   The navigation system should be self-explanatory whilst finding one’s way through the site’s content should be instinctive; indeed the natural progression from one page of content to another should require no effort or prolonged searching for the appropriate link.
   By and large, surfers do not enjoy surprises.
   If a site forces its visitors to download and install special controls or software in order to display correctly on screen, they will simply seek out another site to find the required information, product or service.
   Whilst cutting edge web technologies undoubtedly have their place within internet commerce, they often prove to be a hindrance rather than a help to the average small or medium business site.
   Unless the products you are marketing are of an advanced technological nature, there is little point in employing high-tech scripts and applications which may well interfere with your site’s search engine marketing campaign.
2. Attractive design
   Whilst the design of your site should be simple and easily understood by visitors, its appearance should by no means be plain.
   Solid web site design should make the most of your corporate image.
   After all, if you have spent a great deal of time and effort, not to mention money, to get your logo, stationery and sales literature to be ‘just right’, then why should your web designer not carry this on into the virtual aspect of your business.
   It is a statistical fact that visitors are far more likely to make a purchase from an attractive site rather than a plain or unattractive one.
   Graphics should be chosen with care, whilst the font colour should contrast substantially from the background and be of a sufficient size so as to be easy to read by the human eye.
3. Optimised code
   Whilst the vast majority of visitors have no interest in the code which makes your site work, every search engine will examine it closely when cataloguing your site.
   Successful web site design is about more than what the visitor sees on-screen; it is also about what the search engine sees when it attempts to index your site and classify it for its results.
   The fact is that clean code will not only massively boost a site’s chances of performing well with the major search engines, it will also help to make your site more accessible to disabled web surfers which are a small yet important percentage of online buyers.
   Imagine if you will, what may happen if your site is the only one within your market sector accessible to visually impaired visitors.
   Chances are that your site would corner the market with this particular type of client.
