Cash Flow Solutions For High Quality Web Development

With the financial crisis comes a spending drought, most businesses are reporting declining sales and revenues. So how does a business survive? One obvious way is to cut costs, but if you don't promote your business you won't attract customers and the downward spiral will accelerate and get out of control ending in disaster.

Here is the dilemma; how to cut costs but increase sales and marketing activities.

The two don't go hand in hand unless you find more effective and affordable ways to market your products and services.

Most people have a web presence and whilst their site may look pretty or nice it does nothing to generate sales or increase productivity and revenue.

Most sites are just catalogues, in other words a big ad for your company with no interactivity for the customer or nothing really to make the customer want to buy or find out more or take the next step. This blog is not about the technical "how to" improve your site but rather a way to get the tools you need in affordable hassle free process. Danidweb has the experience to build your site with all the features you have always wanted and even those you have yet to dream about. As we have said it's not the "how to" aspect but the "how much" aspect.

So after you have convinced yourself to build your site or do a makeover of your existing site and you are now firmly convinced you need lots of functionality, like blogs, online shop, events, news, chat etc how do you justify the cost given the financial crisis?

Your first thought will be "all this will cost a small fortune", well that‘s the first myth, all these features are no longer expensive or out of the reach of small businesses. Your second thought will be even if it is more affordable I have to conserve cash, don't worry even big businesses are doing the same and getting a few hundred dollars budget has become a challenge.

DanidWeb has come up with a new EasyPay plan that allows you to spread the cost of your web development over 12 months thus saving cash flow and giving you time to build revenue rather than out laying all your precious cash up front and combine that with affordable packages your first thought should be when can I start? If you choose to go with another company why not ask them for an 12 or 24 month payment plan, there's never any harm in asking

Introduction To Website Design

In this era of advanced technology online business has become very important marketing practice. People got utterly busy and have less time to buy the products by going to market physically especially in the western countries. Because of easy availability and cost effectiveness of internet, website design and development are in more demand in order to send and receive the information online, to enhance the business online and to increase the social network online.

Meaning:

The collection of information about specific products and/or services or a topic via Internet is known as a Website. It has different web pages similar to a book. A website has an address for its identity which is known as website URL and the pages within the website have sub-pages. In order to organize all the web pages and the information for making the website presentable one needs to understand the concepts of website designing.

Purpose:

The purpose of website designing may vary from organization to organization. Some common purposes are:

  • To promote and sell the products and/or services.
  • To generate the traffic and get enquiries from the visitors.
  • To reach information or distribute documents online.
  • To create social communities.

Thus, the purpose of website design may be commercial as well as social.

Technical aspect:

This online information system is divided into front end information (like text-content, images, submit-buttons etc.) and back end (like source code written in html/xml, javascript and /or Php). The back-end information is all about the technical aspect of a website design. This comes mainly under the website development.

Generally, Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks and Contribute are the application tools which are used for website design.

Features of Dreamweaver:

  • What you see is what you get(WYSIWYG)

Tips for web designing:

A good website design will always depend on the goal of the website creation. Just by looking a site we cannot say that it is designed well or not, because, mere appearance is not enough for a well designed site. For example, a site has purpose of generating more enquiries and getting email address from the visitors, so the Home page of the site should have enquiry-form too and there should be "call to action" for getting attention of the visitors. The following are few tips for website design:

  • The site should fulfill the main purpose of its development.
  • It should be presentable, well organized and attractive for the potential customers.
  • Color theme should be according to the product. (If required)
  • The links at navigation bar should be easily visible and convenient too.
  • There should be a sitemap for users' comfortability.
  • There should not be any broken links otherwise visitors will not like to come over the site.

Few tips for search engine friendly site:

Although website should be designed according to the users' convenience it should also be search engine friendly. If the site does not appear in search engines, how will visitors find the site? Thus the following points suggest for search engine friendly site:

  • The site should not be frame based.
  • Navigation bar should be at the left and top side of the web page.
  • If you want to make the crawler read the content first, so leave the first block of left navigation bar empty.
  • Use alt text for the images.
  • Javascript and more flash make the site heavy, so these should be avoided as far as possible and should be used only when they are required.
  • The site must be formatted via valid markup language.

Thus, website design requires creativity, technical knowledge and at the same time patience and skills too as it represents an organization and it is like an online identity of the company. Therefore it is quite important for the company to prepare a website that is well designed, easy to navigate, full of relevant information, having good content and capable of attracting visitors to make them come back again.
