Hello Everyone,

css

After a long delay I finally found some time to write a new post. This time about CSS. I believe may people will find these tips useful, not only the beginners but also some experiences programmers since there is no limit to perfection

1. Use global resets

Global reset is used for more or less similar website rendering in the different browsers. Different browsers have different default values for various elements. Global resets help you fight with these issues.

2. Differentiate id and class in elements

Id attribute specifies that this element is all alone – unique, for example there is only one header on a website. Class however describes a few elements with similar style and preferences.

One of the most common questions asked (or should be asked) by a web design company on the first meeting is: Why do you need a website? In most of the cases the client replies: we need a site as a marketing tool. In a way it’s the same as going and buying a drill in a hardware store (just in case, every household should have a drill, etc)

Further investigating this example we come to a conclusion that by buying a drill you are actually buying holes that can be made with this drill. In order for those holes to appear you have to know how to operate the drill, outline future holes placement, have a plan how to use them. In a mean while the drill itself  (just like a website itself) is just a tool that will not work unless you use it right.

Knowing that creating a website is not usually cheap let’s see what we can do to make the tool work for us. Declaring our website a tool we need to understand what kind of holes we want to get.

Let’s assume we are a manufacturing company and we produce and sell some merchandise. The target group of the website consist of two: consumers and dealers. Both groups are crucially important for the company: if the consumers don’t want our merchandise the dealers will not order it and if the dealers won’t order the merchandise then our consumers will not be able to buy it no matter how much they want it. On our website we are going to try to satisfy both groups.
Step one is always forecasting the steps of the visitor starting form the moment we get a visitor and the steps he has to take to get to the needed information.

Let’s see another example: Macy’s. Even if you have never seen their site before would you assume they sell clothing online. Obviously they know that by not selling clothing online they will loose market share. So it’s actually worse for Macy’s not to have online store then not to have a website at all.

Alright, let’s go back to our dealers and consumers. All what the dealers want is to be able to contact you at any time: phone, email, contact form on every page or at least visible link from every page.

For a start-up business, it may be tempting to save some moolah on website design and hire an intern or a student to create one. Such businesses, perhaps, do not realize the importance of a professional website design.  Your dot com is your greatest marketing tool and its significance cannot be undermined. The expertise and finesse that professional website design firms bring to the table may be missing when interns or students work on your website. You need to hire someone who has industry experience and who has worked on similar projects before rather than relying on individuals who are learning themselves.

The advent of SEO has completely changed the way websites are designed and developed.  The content of the website is as important as the actual design. Your website ranking on search engines and its popularity are determined by SEO and professional SEO firms have the know-how to make your website search engine friendly, turning it into a marketing machine and attracting a lot of visitors.

I am sure you can use an intern to organize a file cabinet or to update your mailing list. For your company’s website, let the professionals do their job.

Good and relevant content on your website is as important as the “look and feel” of the website. People get so involved in the design and development of the actual pages that creating appropriate content for their target audience usually takes a backseat.

Companies get their website optimized for search engines- to improve ranking and gain popularity- and the content of the website plays a key role in achieving this. Once a draft of the content is created, your professional website design team can use that as a guideline to better design the website.

Writing the content before the website design team takes over your project is a good idea. It helps you to identify your goals and the same can be communicated to the website designer. It will give them a clear understanding of the project goals and your expectations, which, in turn, will help them translate your vision into a reality.

Pay attention to the end users or your target audience while writing the content. It’s not about using fancy words and flowery language. It’s about clear and concise communication, and choosing right words that can be easily comprehended by your website visitors.

Take time to think about the content of your website and complement that with professional website design and professional SEO. Next steps? Be ready to welcome a huge amount of traffic to your website!
