User Friendly Website Design
User Friendly Website Design
There are several features of a user friendly website design that makes it both very easy for the customer or user and convenient and beneficial to the owner. These features include website navigation, easy to read text, feedback, shopping carts, and flexible online payment options. With these main features your website will attract more visitors and make their user experience unforgettable. Vancouver web designers will be able to help you accomplish them all.
Customer feedback is one of the most important tools to include in a website. Small customer polls and the option to leave comments or questions at regular intervals when navigating the website are all good ways to allow web designers to find out what customers think about web site, allowing for tweaking or altering to better benefit them. This is without a doubt a valuable part of any user-friendly website design. After all, your customers should be your number one concern, and what source is better to tell you what they like then their own opinions and comments?
One of the most common mistakes of a website that claims to be “user friendly” is that of a lack of shopping carts. Think about it – would you go into a grocery store with a huge list and no cart? Not likely. So why would you make your online customers? Instead of having to order and purchase one item at a time on your website, give them the option to shop around and then order everything at once. User friendly websites from thousands of different online companies use this feature. Make sure to tell your Vancouver web designers to include a shopping cart on your website if you planning on sell products or services.
Gone are the days of sending a money order or check to the owner of an online company and waiting for them to receive it and then send your item or items. Any truly user friendly website design today incorporates the option to pay online instantly. Paypal and credit, debit or bank cards are all perfectly acceptable forms of payment and your web design company can easily add these to your website. Make sure your customers have this option and you are that much closer to having your website be completely user friendly.

10 Mistakes your web designer can make
Posted by admin in Website Design and Development on February 18th, 2010
Technology is moving at an amazingly rapid clip and nowhere is this more obvious than in the number of websites that have literally popped up like weeds, in the last decade. While having a website is an absolute “must” for anyone considering an Internet business, unfortunately, not everyone is willing to pay the money needed to commission a professional web design development team.
This is partly due to the fact that many people believe they can do both the programming (code) and the designing of their websites – if they can’t, then certainly their cousin, friend or co-worker, who has dabbled in website creation will do the trick.
Unfortunately, this kind of thinking will get you in trouble and will certainly not generate website traffic numbers you were hoping to achieve! The fact is if you want to have a successful business, you have to have a professionally done website which means hiring fully qualified web design teams, who are knowledgeable about both programming and site design. You should be looking for someone who has had several years of experience and has a solid portfolio to back up that experience.
You may want to consider browsing the Internet to find your web development company. By simply clicking a few keystrokes and entering key words such as “Vancouver Web Design” you will find what you are looking for. Fortunately, web design development is a growing trend in the Vancouver area and this has turned out to be “the” places to do some one stop shopping.
If you are uncertain about the qualifications of your web design team, there are some significant “errors” that are commonly made by amateurs in the field, according to some of Vancouver’s best web design professionals and these include:
- Not spending enough time considering the “look” of the website. This includes the choice of colors and fonts. Considering the use of topography, as opposed to just plain fonts is a definite must in many cases.
- Loading the site with too much information – which makes it almost impossible to grab the user’s attention immediately.
- Being too detailed about everything. Keep it short and to the point.
- Building a site with programming (code) errors or that simply has that “homemade” look.
- Loading the site with too much information, including Flash loading – which slows down the site and makes loading a long and drawn out affair.
- Adding to many “extras” such as music – unless it is absolutely necessary, stay away form the gimmicks.
- Making it a requirement to “register” to have a access to the site.
- Making the site difficult to search.
- Not including a FAQ section and/or a help and/or contact us section.
- Not adding a “search” button to help locate information within the site.
Why leave the building of your website to anyone other than a professional? Consider contacting a professional Vancouver web design firm in the Vancouver area – they will make sure your website is designed to your satisfaction.
