Website Design

The outline of web design

Web design is a process involving the planning, development and execution of your site’s content delivery. HomePage Development offers an affordable, 'one-stop' web design service, specialising in professional, high quality results. Through effective and flexible web design, your website can create an immediate impact and maximise its potential.

First: Sketch the background

It is vital your site has a clearly defined purpose and target audience, as this influences the appropriate web design.

HPD works with you to determine what you require your website to accomplish and what the user wants to gain. By establishing short- and long-term goals, it facilitates future evaluation, modification and improvement.
The target audience is who you want to visit and use your website. Identifying their personal characteristics, information needs, web experience and computer specifications ensures your website satisfies their needs.

Second: Craft the key components

Your website must include the important web design components: content, usability, appearance, visibility and accessibility. HPD has the knowledge and skills to ensure all appropriate design elements are incorporated into your website to achieve the highest results.

Content
The information on your site must be of a high quality, appropriately organised and frequently evaluated to ensure it is relevant to your site and meets the needs of your target audience. Credible content uses an appropriate writing style to engage the viewer and encourage repeat visits.

As users do not read, but rather scan, it is vital that content is managed to focus attention. For example, as images are more attractive than text, using bolded/italicised words among the plain text can help highlight important points.

Usability
Web design that is user-friendly and based on usefullness will contribute to your site's success. If a visitor cannot use a feature, it may as well not exist.

HPD will help you develop a simple interface, and easy navigation so your site is obvious and self-explanatory. Users don’t want to have to think!

Appearance
Consistent and professional web design is important to establish credibility and likeability. A mixture of graphics and text that is relevant to the target audience can ensure it is visually appealing. Do not be afraid of white space!

It is effective to economise – design simplicity, clarity and distinctiveness is key – and communicate, by matching your website's presentation with the users' capabilities.

Visibility
Gone are the days when you can develop a site and visitors will come. Your website must be designed for easy finding by your target audience, with great visibility via most, if not all, major search engines. This is where HPD comes in; using search engine optimisation to ensure your site is getting seen.

Viewers seek instant gratification – if they do not see your site, they will go elsewhere.

Accessibility
Web design must adhere to certain principles, such as the use of valid markup language, to ensure maximum accessibility by the target audience. Through an appropriate structure and organisation, HPD ensures your website is readily available to your viewers.

A model of success

HPD has the expert web design knowledge and tools to ensure your website performs its purpose and satisfies your target audience's needs. It's now easy and affordable to achieve professional, high quality results from your website.
