Knowing What is a good website for your Business

Websites have quickly become the storefront for many businesses. To be effective, you need to know what makes a good web site that will draw customers and distinguish you from everyone else is the same. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you try to create the perfect site. 

The first part of any workplace is that it has to have the ability to be read by search engines. Flash technology is great, but Google can not read it. This means that your site will not be indexed, and you'll never climb the ranks. There are alternatives to Flash that you can use to avoid getting lost in the shuffle. 

The next critical point for a successful website is that it should be easy for people to read. A purple background may have sounded great when you think about your theme, but it is murder on the eyes. You can still use varying colors, just make sure you are not killing your readers eyes in the process. 

With all the design details in tow, you can now concentrate on the content you actually want on the site. This is probably one of the biggest mistakes that many people do when they put their site together. While SEO is important to go overboard is just as devastating. 

Finally, your site should be organized and easy to navigate. You can make navigation interactive and fun, it's actually recommended that you do just that. But if your readers have a look around everywhere for the tabs and menu's, you will lose them fairly quickly. Keep it attractive, but basic and your site will be well on its way to becoming a success.
