8 Tips to for a great website:

1. Goals: Talk to your web designer and communicate your primary goals and purpose. Is your site a marketing site…an ecommerce site…a blog site? What’s are most important things your website needs to provide for your audience. We recommend working backwards from your customers needs and let that dictate your priorities and goals. Serving your customers’ needs is a sure fire way to success. If  you’re in Douglas, County or El Paso County, Colorado consider contacting the top local Larkspur, Colorado Web Design firm – Cymax Media.
2. Target Market – can you define your audience? Who are they (age, income, lifestyle), what way can you help them, where can you reach them, why is your product or service valuable to them? Answer those questions and you’re well on your way to creating a great website. And of course…make sure the design of your website is appropriate and reflects the tastes and style of your target market.
3. User experience: A great website provides an excellent user experience, with easy navigation, clear headings, and well-written content. Keep in mind…there are 3 main elements to your website.
   – Style (the look or design)
   – Content (text and images/media)
   – Functionality (interactive components like the navigation menu, contact forms, ecommerce (which connects to merchant accounts, etc.).
   All 3 of these elements need work together in harmony to make a great website.
4. Develop A Useful Sitemap – What is your sitemap? Your sitemap is simply the outline of web pages for the website you want your web developer to build. Make sure that sitemap fits your content, is logical and will work well in your navigation structure. Your sitemap should also written into your agreement. How many wweb pages are there and do you require advanced functionalities built into some pages? Will you have a blog?
5. Visual design: Scan the web and find examples of websites you like. By providing your web developer some examples of websites you can greatly expedite the development process. A great website has a visually appealing design that is consistent with your branding. Having a custom designed site by a professional web designer ensures your site will be visually attractive and memorable.
6. Content: A great website has high-quality, useful, and informative text and imagery that should be helpful, informative and relevant to your target audience. Having a blog can keep your content and messaging fresh but it takes work and regular posts. Keep in mind your content should be original. Yes, you can learn from other websites and be inspired…but do not copy content. Also, just as important, do not lift photos from a Google image search. You either need to hire a photographer or a graphic designer or find your images through stock photos to stay legit. Cymax Media can provide all 3 of those options for you. We’ve designed countless graphics, logos and provide photography for our local Colorado clients. As your web developer we “live” on stock photo resources and regularly help find and/or acquire the perfect photos for websites. If your local and need a promotional video – we can help with that too!
7. Mobile-friendy: A great website is optimized for mobile devices and provides a good user experience on a variety of devices. Your website needs to be optimized for mobile. By monitoring your web traffic you can determine what devices are most used to view your website. As people travel around from place to place even high-end mobile phones will experience poor internet connectivity. Adjusting websites to help speed up the delivery of content to mobile platforms is another layer of detail that must be handled properly.
8. Security: A great website takes steps to ensure the security of user data and transactions. Unfortunately there are “trouble makers” (and malware) out there! This is why we install SSL (Secure Sockets Layer technology) and specialized websist security software on all our websites. Plus, with our web hosting solution which provides daily backups and 24/7 malware monitoring with live techs we can quickly get your site back up and running should it get hacked.
9. Speed: A great website loads quickly and is optimized for performance. Performance really means how fast do your pages load – especially your larger images. But keep in mind…if you’re on a mobile phone with only one bar of service – your website will load slower than if it has 4 bars of service. Often for mobile we’ll try to cut back on large images and/or video for this reason. And since Desktops are usually connected to high-speed internet connections most websites will load very fast so load time isn’t quite as critical. However, with mobile phones load times can be greatly impacted as people find themselves in places with poor internet connections therefore special work should be done to help speed up webpages on mobile devices.

Bottom line…a great website is best accomplished through a collaborative effort between you and an experienced web developer…like us!
