important
web site elements:
~~~Marketing
your products and/or services~~~
A Web site is nothing without good writing — good copywriting,
rewriting, revisions and proofing are essential for a Web
site that's easy to read and use. And it's the primary element
that gives your site value.
~~~Great
design & architecture~~~
It's critical to structuring a Web site well. It's what makes
it easy to find things. It's what makes people feel comfortable
when they're browsing: It should be supportive of that sense
of structure, ease and fluidity that visitors prefer. It's
the structure that underlies all good design, a consideration
of design on all levels — invisible, yet essential to
a good Web site.
~~~A
clear call to action~~~
These are issues that describe how a Web site works for its
visitors: smoothly functioning, compatible with major browsers,
and accessible to most visitors, including visually-impaired
or handicapped people.
~~~Value~~~
Your Web site should give you (and your company a sense of
pride in its value. We believe that it should also add value
to the Web. It should look good, work well, and have good
things for the people who use it: Good text, functions, forms
and whatever else you're offering to the public with your
site.
~~~Excitement
& function~~~
Good content, layout and graphics
create visual aesthetics for visitors. This means harmony,
rhythm, contrast, and balance in the visual and content package
that makes up a Web site.
~~~Continuous
promotion~~~
