Five things you must consider while designing a website

The advancement of internet has brought a paradigm shift as a whole almost covering every industry. The market is no longer a physical rigid place where buyers & sellers meet but a virtual space without any demographic, geographic distinctions. The physical place that has been replaced by virtual space needs a well decorated and designed shop (i.e. website) so that more and more customers are attracted and converted into buyers. In order to create a happening website that engages & starts a conversation with the clients, you need to consider following things;

♦ Domain name & Hosting

Selection of a domain name can be very laborious for companies who are conscious of their brand image and repercussions that a bad domain name might bring, so due care must be taken while selecting one. In order to be effective, a domain name should be short, easy to remember & represent brand voice with precision. Also, the domain name should be SEO friendly because visibility of your website in the virtual world is very imperative for your business. The more you are visible to the online user the higher traffic will come to your website.

                                         If the domain name is the address of the house, hosting is the space available in that house where you will keep your furniture (data in case of website).Web hosting companies have numbers of plans that cater the needs of small to big organizations. While choosing yours, certain questions need to be asked.

• Speed & security of a server that will be hosting your website?
• How much traffic will be coming to the website?
• Type of content website will be having (videos, images etc.)?
• Do they have responsive or reactive customer support?
• Are third party reviews on social media in favor of the hosting company?

While you have got the addresses of the house (domain name) and the space available but you are not sure how frequently to add the furniture (data) to the website and at first place does the requirement for CMS exists. All you need to know is whether the website is static or dynamic.

                                      If you are creating an informational website about a company that usually won’t get updated over a period of time, you probably don’t require a CMS but for dynamic websites like techcurve.com, News portals etc. you have to create a user friendly customized CMS which enables end user to update their respective websites with ease .for instance magento an ecommerce dynamic website building engine has inbuilt CMS for content management.
