Yesterday AtNetPlus hosted an informational discussion on Website Design Basics at our monthly ‘Talk it over Tuesday' breakfast event. About 17 local business owners and managers came to learn how to “Turn Your Website Into A More Effective Sales Tool.” We talked about four basic areas of website design:
• A Clean Layout – tips and tricks from the pros
• A Clear Action Plan – effective Calls to Action
• The Right Tools for the job – which software is best for you
• The Total Cost – the true cost of a website
The discussion was intended for the novice do-it-yourselfer but served to remind everyone of the basics we should all keep in mind. We gathered material from websites-that-suck.com. If you’re designing or redesigning a site, it’s well worth a visit. Not only does the site point out obvious design flaws but they also provide helpful checklists to keep your site from appearing on theirs.
If you’d like to know more you can download the whitepaper that went with our presentation. Let us know what you think. Websites are always a work-in-process and it never hurts to review the basics as you go.
