FIVE EASY STEPS TO BUILD A FRIENDLY WEBSITE

 For a web designer, the central idea while developing a website is to keep it simple and effective for the customers is not IT professionals. Here are 5 easy steps to keep in mind while developing a website.

EASY LANGUAGE:
Internet is not entirely a great place to showcase one’s vocabulary skills especially while designing a website. User does not have a lot of time to spare. They are always in a rush. The language used should be simple and without spelling mistakes.
SIMPLE SEARCH ENGINES:
A user friendly site provides easy search engine optimization mechanism. It is better to use headings and titles instead of graphics. To give the page better ranking potentials, a good idea is to scatter the keywords all over the body content.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT:
Trust is the key ingredient for the success of any enterprise. A customer must be able to put his faith on the enterprise he is willing to invest. Providing all the contact details is crucial. Toll-free numbers, business address, e-mail address, so that the customer might be able to get in touch. If there is a provision for customer feedback form, it is necessary to keep it updated and accessible.
EASY NAVIGATION:
The customer visiting the website might not use it the way the website is designed. The idea is to provide the customer will all the necessary links in the homepage itself. If the customer is unable to find what he is looking for, then he is sure to leave the site. A site map is extremely useful in this regard. It will guide the customer to check what he is looking for in the website and access it accordingly. Another important thing to remember in this regard is tagging or marking the respective sections. 

COMPATIBLE BROWSERS:
Most website lose out on customers because their website is not compatible to different browsers. It is not wise to assume that all the customers visiting a website will access to it by a single browser. With so many options to the user, a website must be designed to meet the needs of all its potential customers. Most website are designed in a way that they look fantastic while accessing it through one browser and terrible when accessed by any other. A good idea might be to talk to the developer before actually putting it on board.
