subject: Web Development Indispensable for Success of Any Website [print this page] In today's competitive world a website has become a necessity. Not only the physical existence in the market but also the virtual existence on the internet is equally crucial for the success of any business and this can be possible only with the help of an effective and efficient website. This is not easy, especially when each and every business identity is trying to be dominant in the virtual world of the internet. This is where website development comes into focus.
What is website development?
It is developing the website to optimize its efficiency at generating revenue. It includes various aspects such as customized web page design, easy layout to navigate, use of technology that makes the site easy to download and compatible with the browser, use of search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to maximize the clicks, appeal for a sale, return on investment (ROI), and finally security of confidential data,.
Let's consider each aspect individually.
Customization: The website should be so appealing to the visitor that he/she should feel that the website has been designed keeping into consideration his/her needs and this only can convince him/her to buy the offerings. A professional web designer designs the web page keeping into consideration the prospective consumer behavior and relevant research.
Technology: The technology of yesteryears usually seems to become obsolete but this can be harmful for the business. On the other hand technological developments such as use of JAVAscript and XML add to the user friendliness of the visitor without any major adjustment to the downloading speed. The technology used for designing the website should be compatible with all kind of browsers. This includes browsers with the latest technology and the earlier used technologies.
SEO Techniques: The number of business identities flocking to get websites registered and hosted is growing exponentially. Most of the visitors to any website are redirected from the search engines. To increase the traffic to any particular website, the web design should be such that the search engines place it on the top of the page listing the results of any search. The listing made by the search engines depends on factors such as images, keywords, keyword phrases, links to other websites and even the ease of navigation. These factors can change. The layout of the website that was once unique may have become very common by now and lost its uniqueness. If your website has come off age and not performing with maximum efficiency then it is high time to consult a professional web designer and bring necessary amendments in the web design.
Sale and ROI: The more the sale, more is the ROI. The website needs to be developed in such a way that the visitor becomes a prospective buyer and finally converted to buyer. This is only possible when the content and visuals of any website are appealing and assure the buyer about the quality and worth of the product. A professional web designer cum developer sees to it that the product description or the final page appealing for sale is placed on the third tier (accessible on the third click from when the visitor logs in the website)
Confidentiality: It is up to the web developer to develop the website in such a way that the buyer is assured that the personal financial data (such as credit card user name and password) are going to remain a secret and not misused by the seller.
