Your website may be a very important selling tool for your business and it is important that you get it correct. When planning a new website it is important to think about how the site will be laid out and the steps they will need to take to get to the information they want to find. A great way of doing this is to create a site map and a wire frame. This will allow you to think carefully about the pages that are going to be on your website and how they are all going to link together. The wire frame will be able to show the flow of pages from one to another. If you have an ecommerce website where people can find products or services online then you need to make sure that the check out process is as simple and easy as possible.
A good way to start is to have a look round at other people’s website possibly competitors and see what information they have and how it is laid out. From this you can then work out what you like and what you wouldn’t like to use on your website. Try not to make your website too complicated as people will get frustrated and often leave without completing an enquiry form or completing a purchase.
