RESPONSIVE WEBSITE DESIGN
10 Website Design Considerations
What constitutes good website design?

1
Showcase Your Business
Your website should reflect the type of business and the products and services you provide. First impressions last, so make sure your Home Page is attractive for first time visitors. This could be the only chance you have to generate interest in your products and services.
2
Fast to Load
Your website should be fast to load on both desktop and mobile devices. This involves ensuring the website design coding and image optimisation techniques are utilised correctly. A CDN (Content Delivery Networks) will also help with loading your website quickly.
3
Optimise Images
Image Optimisation for website images is an essential part of modern responsive web design. Often overlooked by website designers and developers, images should load at optimum sizes to ensure a quick response particularly on mobile phones.
4
Image Copyright
It is important to only use photos and images that you own or stock images with a valid purchased licence. Copyright rules are strict, and it can be very costly to your business if you utilise images your business does not have permission to use.
5
Website Hosting
You need good quality website hosting. Cheap web hosting providers should not be considered for a business or a professional organisation. Good web hosting servers will help deliver a better user experience for your website viewers.
6
Website Structure
Well thought out Page Titles, H1, H2 and H3 Tags, Meta Descriptions (less important), Alt Tags and Basic SEO need to be in place. Researching your competition online is also very useful to determine the best SEO structure for your particular business niche.
7
Mobile Friendly
Your website must be designed for ease of use on mobile devices. This affects user experience and Google Search rankings. This requires thinking about your website visitors and how they want to access and use the website efficiently. Website navigation plays a key role here.
8
Website Layout
Website Navigation layout is crucial. A website needs to be very easy for website visitors to navigate on all devices. Visitors come to your website to find information on your products and services and users need to be able to do this easily and fast.
9
Responsive
Your website must be responsive. The days of desktop only website designs are long gone, yet it’s surprising how many websites in 2019 are still not responsive. Modern websites need to be able to scale your website to the many different screen sizes available on tablets and smartphones. Also consider the growing use of website access on a Smart TV.
10
SSL Security Certificate
Your website needs to be secure. Google have indicated that having an SSL Certificate (Secure Socket Layer) on your website will improve search rankings. An SSL also helps protect both your site visitors and the website itself. It can also help with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) as it adds an additional layer of encryption.
