Qualities of a Well Designed Website

May 20, 2013 By waldo

In order for a website to have a significant value, it has to have a few things. The website’s overall value will be determined  by what is on it. However, there is one thing that must be figured out before you even begin creating the website, and that is its purpose.

A Thought out Purpose

The purpose of a website will vary greatly based upon what you want out of it and what it is for. A good way to find out some basics about this is just by asking yourself who or what this website is for. Is the website for a business? Is it for a library? Is it an entertainment website? You have to shape the website accordingly based on who or what it is for. Sticking with an above example, if the website is for a business, it would be a good idea to have contact information and hours of operation on there as well as what the business actually does. Thinking of the website’s purpose is the foundation for its success.

What Kind of Information Does It Have?

The actual information on the website is the second most important part of a website’s value. The information should always be up to date and complete. You want to make sure that it is either sourced or at the very least verifiable.

An Intelligent Design

A website’s design is important because it is in actuality the website.  The design means that it’s what the user sees on their screen. The design is how they navigate the website. They will search for a piece of information on the website through the design. Every physical interaction that user has with the website will occur via the website’s design. You want a design that isn’t difficult to understand and is easy to manage. Make your design suitable for the purpose of your website. A website for a business wouldn’t have the same design as a website made for entertainment. The best design for a website is very situational. However, a simple design is often a great choice.

Full Potential

If you truly want your website to have a significant value, you’re going to want to make sure that it is doing everything that it is capable of. The easiest way to evaluate this is by asking questions about your website. Think about what users will be coming to your website for. How can you improve their experience when they’re using your website?

Knowing the Limitations

At the same time, websites can sometimes fall victim to trying to do too many things without enough resources behind it. For example, you wouldn’t want to turn a simple informative website on one topic into an encyclopedia.

The underlying theme here is that you want to make sure that you know what you want out of your website. The best way to maximize what is talked about here is by going back through your website on your own after its creation and testing it.
