A journey from Simple web design to Custom web design

The history of the Internet is short, but so much innovative within short time. It has drastically changed how the days have changed. A good thing, internet has created thousands of profession like SEO marketing, online telemarketing, freelance writing, blogging and affiliates and web design. It is true that web design has been with us from past few years but at present it becomes a most important factor in the internet medium and in our lives as well. Can we imagine the internet without any animations, graphics, images, fancy text, and background music? It’s look scary when we imagine it for a while.

With the great innovation of HTML in 90s, we were being able to see the website with some graphics. Once upon a time, developers would create HTML pages by typing in code for each page that was to be part of a web site. This type of website called a static website which has to be developed only by web developers. After this era there are so many improvement has been done in the web development sector and nowadays Dynamic websites capture the market of web development. First of all we must have to understand the difference between Static and Dynamic websites. In a Static website, Developers have to create HTML pages one by one and all the pages are interlinked to each others. In a Dynamic website, developers have a more flexibility means if they want to change something in website then they have to only change a single file and output reflects to entire site.

This journey becomes so much interesting while it drives us to the simple view to aesthetic view. By developing website which is most attractive and easy to use, can boost your business and also creates a good credibility of website in the users mind. All those stuffs can be possible through custom web design implementation.

How to develop the website that to attract attention of the people?

As per current situation, to develop the website with attractive design is little bit challenging work to grab the attention of the visitors / people on the website because there are lots of websites are available in the market but few are succeeding to gain attention of the people. Website will be personal or professional one, there is not a matter for the attention of the visitors.

Owner of the website feel very bad when any of the visitor come on the site and will immediately leave the site. The reason behind it is because of the duplicate and non relative content, bad clarity of images as well as for un unique layout of the website. So by changing them in to unique and fresh content, sharp images and unique format of the website design will help to increase the click of the visitors on the site.

Always, the format and theme which you select for the site will remain based on the website’s main purpose because people/visitor always expects to know website’s purpose from its homepage. Some of the web development company or web designer makes mistake by putting so many banners, links and blinking text on the website to grab attention of the website because sometimes these things irritate visitors on the site. Simple website will gain more attention of the visitors on the site in the comparison of the overloaded website. Always try to make that type of website which looks interactive with the help of its fantastic functionality.

Ecommerce Website Design: General Awareness

Aaron one of my good friend and colleague has started his own ecommerce business having more than 5+ years of experience and need to hire ecommerce Website Design Company that helps in growing his business within short time in order to get good global presence and visibility too.

After analyzing and searching a good website design company he has decided to hire a company who is professional only in giving ecommerce website design with a good reputation. That helps in getting good ROI from ecommerce website.

Aaron being smart enough made one silly mistake, he had given full authority to website designer to think over his website and design for him, with every aspect needed such as marketing, hosting and many things. As you know professional person is a person who is having expertise in only one thing on which he/she is working on. Professional can never be professional other than his/her profession.

Being not professional other than ecommerce website designing he failed to deliver good result in marketing. Designing is apart from marketing job, once the designer has given design layout of website, marketing person will approve this layout and further designing process will carry on. Good and professional website needs proper planning and implementation to get success in every means. As old saying, designers can never plan as much as marketer can plan. Here are some points that marketing person should be clear with before handling over to web designer.

1. Ultimate Goal

2. Secondary Goal

3. Major Areas of Website

4. Targeted Region and Audience

5. Mandatory Task performed by User

6. Unique Display of Your Companies Product

I had mentioned points that are not sufficient, but some of the important point that are to be kept in mind when you plan for your ecommerce website.
