What makes a great website?
A great website is a combination of various elements that come together to provide an excellent user experience. Here are some of the key factors that make a website stand out:
Design: The design of a website plays a crucial role in attracting and retaining users. The design should match the general style of your branding and must be legible. It should be modern, intuitive, and easy to navigate. It's important to remember that good design isn't just about aesthetics but also about functionality and usability.
Content: A great website requires high-quality content. This includes helpful blog posts, videos, and other resources that establish your businessās credibility and demonstrate your expertise. Regularly updating site content is a bonus, as it keeps your audience engaged and encourages regular visits.
Technical Prowess: A good website should be technically robust. This means it should load quickly, be optimised for different devices, and be SEO-friendly.
User-centric: A great website is designed with the user in mind. This involves making the website as easy to navigate as possible and ensuring it satisfies the user's intent.
Trustworthy and Secure: Your website must be trustworthy, safe, and secure. This involves using secure protocols (like HTTPS) and ensuring that user data is handled responsibly.
Consistency: The website should be consistent in terms of branding, design, and user experience across all pages.
Therefore, building a great website involves a blend of solid design principles, quality content, technical excellence, user-centric design, trustworthiness, and consistency.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
When initiating a Web Design project, it's essential to thoroughly understand the client's needs and expectations.
Here are some fundamental questions we ask our clients:
Assessing the Current Website: If the client already has a website, it's crucial to understand what works and what doesn't in the current design. We ask for their assessment of their existing website and why they're seeking a redesign.
Client's Business and Goals: To understand what the client's business is about, their target audience, and their specific goals for the website. It's vital to align the design with the business needs.
Design Preferences: We ask the client if they have any specific design preferences or if there are any websites they admire for their design. This will help us gain an understanding of their aesthetic tastes.
Website Functionality: We discuss the specific features and functionalities they want on their website. This could include things like contact forms, blog section, eCommerce functionality, etc.
Project Timeline: We establish a timeline for the project. This includes milestones, deadlines, and potential shifts in timelines. Remember, it's important to be flexible, but also protect your oneās time and energy.
Budget and Scope: We establish the budget for the project and define the scope of work. This can help prevent any misunderstandings later in the process.
Maintenance and Support: We discuss what will happen after the website is launched. We determine who will be responsible for maintaining the site and whether ongoing support will be required.
These questions form the basis of a detailed web design questionnaire that we use to ensure we and our client are on the same page before the design process begins. It's important to remember that effective communication is key to a successful project.
