Websites, there's literally billions of them out there in cyber-space.
How many of them do you go to and just think this is boring, bland, or hard to use? It seems like too many to mention.
So what makes a good website? It's about interaction. You've got to make the visitor interested. You've got to grab their attention.
Many sites use plenty of bright and shiny gimmicks to attract you, but once you make it through to the content of the site it's just not worthy. A good site uses easy navigation, relevant content, and interactive media like comments and message boards.
If you're fortunate, whoever builds your site may even have a few tricks up their sleeves to make it really fun with sound, video, and other interactive fun stuff.
- Do you want people to come to your site and then tell their friend and family about it?
- Do you want to have huge amounts of visitors?
- Do you want to succeed in making your dreams come to fruition on the Web?
Make your website exciting! It might be easier said than done, but there are people around whose job it is to construct and design sites for a living. If you can afford it, go for the best.
How great is it when you come across a site that has some special feature that you've never seen elsewhere?
Isn't it great when you find a site that relates to one of your interests that is simple and easy to get to the information you want?
If you want to have people to come back again and again, you've got to keep updating the content to keep it fresh and interesting.
Have a way for people to communicate with yourself and others who are into the same things, with interactive tools like forums, message boards and comments.
The aim is to catch the 'viewer's' interest. A lot of sites just look like giant advertisements and you have to search for the needle in the haystack to find out what the actual site is for. I know advertising is a way of making money, but if you want your site to have an authentic, respectable atmosphere that exudes a feeling of integrity, you better be careful. People are becoming wary of this consumer driven, mindless attack at the average civilian's wallet.
Some people will automatically leave a site if a bunch of commercials pop-up on the screen. Pop-ups, don't even make me go there? So, the aim of the game is to make a site that enables the public to be part of the action as well as being a source of knowledge or information that is in demand.
Your site should be easy to navigate, have a good 'feel', and provide unique value to your visitors. Having this type of website is the means to becoming the popular Internet magnate you've always dreamed of becoming.
Be yourself. If you try to appeal to an audience in a way that doesn't reflect your true self, you're destined to fail. Be honest and speak from your real perspective on life. Give it to us from the heart.
