Sharing is caring!

In today’s market, having a well-designed, informative, and user-friendly website is essential to a business’s success. A significant and increasing number of customers are Internet-savvy and regularly use the Internet to search for a wide range of products and services. In response, company websites are becoming more sophisticated and interactive, allowing customers to make reservations and payments online, submit feedback, and follow company blogs and newsletters to stay current on the latest offerings. More sophisticated websites can also take advantage of integration with other sites like Google Maps and Flickr to supply additional information and creative content.

Basic Elements of Web Design

As the demand for professional and commercial websites has increased among companies of various types and sizes, so have the options that business owners now have in creating a website. A number of companies specialize in providing a wide range of website building services, from a basic site building and web hosting, which are usually free, to custom website design by specialized design teams and additional services such as e-commerce, online marketing, and lead generation. Finding the perfect site and web hosting service for you depends on a variety of factors, including your business type, budget, and the level of interaction and feedback you seek to have with clients and potential customers on the Internet. Here are a few basics that you should consider when starting a website for your company.

Domain Name

The first and most fundamental step of creating a website is buying a domain name. A domain name is the web address that Internet users type into their browser to find your website online (for example, www.yourcompanyname.com). For those who have the desire and skills to build their website independently, a domain name can be searched for and leased from the appropriate registry, which gives the domain name buyer the exclusive right to use that domain name. As an alternative, most web design companies offer domain name searches and leases as part of a design package, either as an included feature or for a separate fee.

Design Layout, Templates, and Stock Image Libraries

Once you have a domain name, the next step is creating the layout and content of your website. If you do not have any technical experience in programming a website, this is where professional web design companies become especially helpful. Established web design companies usually offer hundreds, sometimes thousands, of pre-designed layout templates that you can choose from, separated based on subject, theme, color, industry, and many other categories. No matter what your business type, you will have plenty of options and styles to choose from.

In addition to a layout and color design, web design companies usually also offer large stock image libraries to help your website look more attractive to potential clients and customers. Stock images usually include professional photographs and other creative depictions of different objects, products, or services.

Design and Editing Tools

Equally important to having a good basic design and layout is the ability to revise, edit, and improve your website over time. Look for a web design company that simplifies this process by offering user-friendly, instant point-and-click editing.

Custom Design

Almost all web design companies offer custom web design by a specialized design team, for a higher fee. This is usually a better option for companies seeking a highly sophisticated or interactive website. Custom websites are also ideal for companies that offer unique goods or services that do not fit well into pre-designed templates and stock images.

Email and Web Storage

Email and web storage are basic services that are offered by most web design companies. Having an email account that has the domain name as your website (for example, info@yourcompanyname.com) is much more professional than using popular free email services like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, or AOL. A professional email account will add extra credibility to your online business. There will usually be a limit on how much email storage memory you are entitled to.

Web storage allows you to store many different types of files that you use to build and customize your website. For example, you can store and transfer documents, photos, music, and video files.
