At MT Webs
we design your website to suit you and your potential
customer’s requirements, to achieve this we will
talk to you and discuss your ideas and then create a
website template that you will be able to see on the
internet, after further discussions and alterations
we will complete the site. As the customer you will
have the final say on the layout and colour scheme of
the website. |

Things
to consider when planning your website.
1. Colour scheme.
2. Layout of the page.
3. How many pages.
4. Navigation around the site.
5. Text to put on the site.
6. Images to include.
7. Ways for customers to contact you.
8. How long will it take to complete. |

1.
Colour Scheme. |
Think about
colours, will people be able to read the text ie:- |
|
The
colour of the text and background are very strong
and after a while become a strain on the eyes.
There are websites dedicated to website design
colours. www.wellstyled.com is a good site to to get
ideas from. |
|
|
As you can see from the example to the left using
the right colour scheme makes your website easier
on the eye.

|
2.
Layout of the page. |
Where
do you want the company logo? Where do you want the
navigation buttons? How do you want the navigation to
appear? Where do you want any images? What character
style do you want? Look at other websites to get some
ideas and then once you have made your mind up they
can be implemented on your website. |
|
3.
How many pages. |
Decide
on how you want to break down your site into pages:-
HOME, SERVICES, CONTACT, INFORMATION, GALLERY, Etc.
Try to break down the site into managable chunks so
as to keep your client interested.
|
|
4.
Navigation around the site. |
Make your
navigation buttons clear and concise. Most sites have
been built with the navigation across the top or down
the left hand side of the website. This has become the
acceptable practice. So if you dont want to confuse
your clients stick to this rule. |
|
5.
Text to put on the site. |
When writing
the text for your website try and make it clear and
to the point. If you waffle on and on people will get
bored and move on to another site. Again choose a colour
to fit in with the colour scheme of your website. Avoid
text that flashes on and on as this will distract the
readers eye from the rest of the page. |
|
6.
Images to include. |
The images
on your website need to be optimised so that they open
quickly in the browser. Depending on locations a representitive
of MT Webs will take some photographs when they visit
you to discuss the website. MT Webs will optimise every
picture used on your website using the right software
application depending on the type of image or picture
used. |
|
7.
Ways for customers to contact you. |
Give
your customers as many different ways to contact you
as possible. Include on your website Emails, (these
can be created to incorporate your domain name) Postal
addresses, Telephone and Fax numbers. An enquiry form
can also be included on the website. The more options
you give your customers, the more chance you have of
them contacting you. |
|
8.
How long will it take to complete. |
It is possible
to have your website up and running in a couple of weeks.
The main reason for delay MT Webs have found, is waiting
for the client to decide on the text they want on the
pages of the website. |
