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. STEEL
DOLPHIN 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. |
