subject: 5 Web Pages Every Website Needs [print this page] Web design has evolvedWeb design has evolved. In recent years, the quality of websites has improved due to instant-websites and many guides on better web design. In keeping with new standards, and established good web design practices, the following are key web pages that every website should have.
1. About Page
The About Us page or About Our Company page helps to communicate more information for the visitor, regarding a real company or a personality. Without an About page, a site can be faceless and confusing.
2. Contact Page
If there are any unanswered questions on the website, visitors will likely want to find a way to email for more information-thus, a contact page is vital.
3. Site Directory
What would the internet be like if Google or Yahoo! wasnt created? If the web site is very small, like a blog, then it may not need a directory. But the larger the site, the more important it is that there is a map - a site directory or a list of dated links, as in blogs - to keep track of new or old information, and different content.
4. Privacy Page
At times, when there is a free newsletter offered to visitors, the site must display how the email being used for the newsletter will be kept. Email privacy is very important online - so it is crucial to have a policy that states how private information, such as an email address, will be used on the site.
5. Search
Like a site directory, the search is a feature that must be included.
In the future, every web page will transform due to changing web design standards. To keep up, one must apply current practices, by including contact pages, search feature, and more...doing so will create a fast, easy experience for every visitor.
