Web designing (Tips/Check list):
1. You may have a large IT department but do not depend on them if they have no experience in web hosting and design. Outsource if necessary. You have to remember that your website is a form of advertisement, IMAGINE asking your product engineers or R&D engineers to design your print ad copy for you?
2. Do not let an advertising agency without experience in handling your website. They will have a big fight with the web administrator on design.
3. Great, if your homepage look fantastic which most likely you may win the academy award. But if it takes ages to download, nobody will visit your site!
4. Set your objective right in the first place. The design will be dependent on what you want out of your site. A website have other functions besides looking pretty. It is interactive, responsive and dynamic.
5. Is your website fully functional with no dead links and all pages displaying correctly?
6. Do you have a way for customers or visitors to contact you, whether by email, telephone or fax?
7. Is the product your company is selling something that is truly worth buying? There is still a lot of paranoia these days about buying things on the net. Your visitors will not buy something unless they really NEED or WANT it. A brand new product or book is a good thing to sell, a new type of can opener or laundry detergent will most likely bomb.
8. Is your online ordering system (if you have one) secure? You don't want to find yourself in legal trouble if a customer sues you for damages over credit card information that was obtained from your site!
9. Is your web page attractive and full of useful, relevant information pertaining to the ideas or the products you are selling? Make sure it answers as many questions as possible that visitors may have regarding your product.
* Besides having a nice design, you need to have a good promotion.
