Just getting
started in planning your website?
If
you'd like your own
web page and
you're not even sure where to start, this might be the help you're
looking
for. Every web page package offered by K.Font includes design and
content
consultation to help you determine the material you'll need, how to
arrange
it and find the look that's best for your web site. This "web tips"
page
includes some of the information that is covered at these meetings.
- Keywords
- Internet searchers find the
pages that
interest them by typing in keywords. What keywords would you, or most
people,
enter if they were trying to find your page? (can be 1, 2, or 3 word
combinations
and should be listed in order of importance - make a list of up to 100
words)
- Site
Description - Write a brief (30
words or less)
descriptive paragraph to describe your site on the search engines.
Customers
will see the first sentence or two when the search engine pulls up your
webpage on an inquiry, so try to condense the page content & word
it
in a way that will invite & encourage visitors.
- Snoop
- Check out other pages that
offer same information,
products, or services as your future (or current) web site. You can get
lots of ideas this way. Make a note of words you used to find these
competitor's
pages - these words should be on your keywords list. Especially look at
the CONTENT (remember this word - it is what will make your web page
worth
visiting and is the most important ingredient to great web sites). What
content do they have and what content DON'T they have. Both can help
you
find what you should include on yours.
- Color
& Style - When you are
surfing the net be
sure to bookmark or make a note of any web pages that you like the look
of. You may find a pattern of your style - colors, textures, designs -
and it can help you decide how you want your web page to look (or in
some
cases how you DON'T want it to look!)
- For
every web page you'll need a title
(it helps if
you include a keyword or two in the title) as well as the actual text,
images and pictures it will contain.
- Connections
- Another thing to think
about is how
you want your pages connected to each other (see sample web site map
below).
They may all connect to each other via a button bar or menu list that
is
on every page, or you can have a main page plus several others that
connect
in whatever way is most easily navigated.
