Business website reason(s)

Starting a website can trigger many questions. By asking questions like, “who is your target audience?” “what’s the theme of your business?” and many more. We will discuss questions and answers when creating a website.
Knowing your goals, you can view how you develop your custom website. Hence, you have fewer risks of changing your project in the middle of the process. Additionally, identifying your target audience can increase the website’s traffic.

Using CSS and JavaScript for your web design can attract many viewers to your website. Also, knowing the competition of your client’s business can give you ideas on how to make the website stand out more.

What’s the goal of your website?

Before you start creating your website, we should ask the main question. What’s the goal of your website? What company will it serve? And most of all, what is their business?

Here’s an example scenario: A company called “Happy Hobby” hired you to develop a website for them. Their goal is to start a business website that could let them sell their products online to boost their sales.

We know your client, Happy Hobby, wants you to develop a store website for them. Their goal is to have an online market that would boost their sales. So, your goal is to create a shopping website for them. With these things in mind, you could use this as your main idea for building the website.

You can also ask other questions like what products or services they provide. Do they want a website to have an online presence to promote their products? Or what services do they provide to their customers?

Knowing your client’s goal can give you a good foundation for starting the website. By having more in-depth questions, you can learn what your client wants. This can reduce your risk of potentially changing the project in the middle of the process.

How will you design the website?

So, we aim to create a marketing website for our client. And their target audience is teens that are interested in their products. Now, how will you design your website?

First, you must ask, “What does my audience like?” Because not everyone likes the same thing. Each audience, teens or adults, has different ways to attract a website.

There are website elements at play when designing one, such as content, usability, and visibility.
When creating content for your website, you should remember that your home page is your first impression to any viewers. You can have a lot of content by having a wall of text on your web page. But is that effective in attracting a potential customer?

No. There are other ways to create good website content:

• Call To Action: As defined, a call to action is a marketing term used on a design that causes a customer to feel compelled to give a response. Like in business web development, you’d use a button or any interactive elements in your website. An example is a “Buy Now” button. This lets your visitors stay engaged in visiting the website.
• Visual Design: Like painting artwork, a graphic design can be your website’s color scheme or the images you’ve put in. In our example scenario, our target audience is teenagers. You can try mixing sets of colors that look appealing to your audience. Also, You can use images to replace any words from your content. Clear, concise content will guide visitors to what they are looking for.
  Cross-Compatible: Today, everyone has access to the internet in our modern times. From mobile devices to computers, you must create a website design that fits every screen size. Any website that doesn’t provide cross-compatibility loses viewers for its website.
