The Perplex of Index Page Design


The Perplex of Index Page Design

Index page design is not simply about content, headers, and footers. It is about proposing the correct questions and making clear those questions apply to your site visitors. It’s about finding the answer to problems and bringing it together within a united design. Have You Wondered At Any Time?

-> How do I make my website special?

-> How do I confirm people stick when they hit my Index page?

-> How do I confirm website visitors dig into my passage and explore my service or product offering?

->How do I confirm website visitors take a moment to convey to us by phone, email, or inquiry form?

If you see those above questions and considered “yes that is absolutely what I need to ask” then know you are not single. I know lots of people, companies, and marketing departments who all wonder the same about the function and design of their website.

If you take a recoil and read throughout the list, you’ll observe all the questions included me or I. None of them concentrated on the visitor.

Best Practice in Index Page Doesn’t Include I or Me

1.  The best method in Index page design is regarding site visitors, their wants, and their needs. It isn’t about an opinion that is cool or something you may have seen on four other sites. It is about your target business, what they want, and how your offering may accommodate.

We accept a number of inquiries each day from people who did like us to help create a new website or update their existing website. In most cases the inquiries go a few like this:

*  I am inquiring to see if I can get a price for you to redo our current site. Please  look forward at the link to the site provided and get back to me.

* We are recognizing to improve our website. Are you prepared to help us?

* I would like a website that looks exactly like ABC.com. Can you create that for me?

* I would like my website to be more professional, can you please help?

* Can you look at my website and tell me what needs to change?

* I know my website is a mess and I did like you to clean it up.

A number of people and businesses serve to design websites according to their own requirements or they base it on a website they’ve visited and savored. Or, in more current years, they think of a cool internet marketing approach and want to execute it.

All of this is nice, but what they many times abandon to do is compare this purpose or need for the modernize to what their website visitors need and want. I have seen this is especially accurate if the website is brand-new and the concept is referred to as “cool.”

Have You Ever Questioned Yourself?

* Who comes to my website?

* Are these visitors all alike or are they split up into groups?

* What difficulties do these people have and what problems are they trying to solve?

* Can my product or service contribution solve these difficulties?

* What content do I have that can best explain my solution and provide support?

* What next move should the website visitor take so I can help solve their problems?

* How can the visitant and I stay in touch with each other?

* Can the visitor simply contact me?

What we’ve done is quietly take the initial questions and redirect them so they are also focused on the visitor. This task is clear, but many times omitted.

Now take those preceding questions and apply them to your current website. How does your website reply those questions? If it doesn’t, it is the chance for a renew.

What Should You Consider in Your Website Refresh?

There are lots of elements that go into the core design of a website. I am not talking about each and every page. Instead I am referring to the main design elements, Index page, header and footer.

Beneath is a listing of some website design elements we plan, discuss, and review for in initial stages of our projects:

Components of a Website Header:

* Logo

* Tagline

* Social media icons and/or references

* Search box

* Chief navigation menu (core destinations)

* Auxiliary navigation menu (secondary destinations such as account or login)



Components of the Core Index Page:

* Static or rotator image

* Video

* Site intro or summary

* Recommended content

* Persona exclaim and directions for movement

* Calls to actions

* Promotions and/or deals

* Original blog posts

* Forthcoming events

* Components of a Website Footer:

* Widgets for files to core content

* Contact data

* Site navigation to policies,sitemap, terms and conditions

* Disclaimers or legal notes

* Copyright

That’s a lot of stuff, right? Yes, it is and why I don’t expect new customers to have answers for all of the things in the list, it would be exceptional if they’ve thought by some of it and how each would provide support for their target business and visitors.

If they have not, I am happy to walk into it with them and examine the different elements and how they can help provide answers for visitors.

Web Design is a Perplex

I newly had a friend tell me that I’m a follower of perplexes. I have never believed that to be the state, but once I remembered about it for a moment, I knew he was a point on. I do like perplexes.

As an adult I still like perplexes, but now I admire perplexed with a purpose. I fell in love with SEO years ago because it was a perplex. Trying to figure out what the search engines wanted and how it would alter ranking was enjoyable. Google has become a lot more transparent, so the perplex is no deeper as challenging. As such, it has finally removed the fun factor for me.

My passion for perplexes is now centered on website design. For me, the perplex is knowing our client’s target market, their visitors’ requirements, their offering, and then doing it all come together through website design. That perplex turns with each new customer and each original website. It sojourns fun each and every time.

If you’d like me to assist with your perplex, just stretch out to us and let us know how we can help.

We’ll begin with a whole lot of inquiring and then we’ll put the parts together as we design your latest Index page.
