Errors in Web design and hosting to avoid
Here are some mistakes that newcomers to the Internet tend to do. View this as a learning opportunity and a way to avoid these errors, because what makes them really be detrimental to the success your site.
There are two types of errors that are common:
Technical errors and mismanagement. Let the two and how they can be avoided.
Technical errors resulting from lack of understanding the Internet and the technological environment in which the Internet operates. You must understand that you work within the constraints identified in the Internet – ie disk space and bandwidth.
1. Ignoring bandwidth restrictions.
The bandwidth is more important to have an impact. There is a difference in the opening of a photo or document on the local computer and downloading from the Internet. If you put your photos or documents on its website which are massive, will be very difficult for visitors to navigate your site and even see their websites. Pictures in particular are the main culprit, according to the normal text is very little bandwidth.
All images and photos must be optimized for the Internet. A good photo editing program (even Microsoft Office Picture Manager) is essential to two things:
a) to enlarge the image down so you can fit on a Web page – photos must not exceed 800 pixels or 1000 pixels wide. Make sure you select to keep the ratio when downloading photos from the image retains the correct proportions.
b) To change the size of the physical image to fill less physical space. JPG images in particular can save 60% to 70% compression without the naked eye can see. Use JPG for photos of real life change color gradually, but rather to use GIF graphics designed, sold in blocks of color and text. Be careful If you use these as JPG compression is visible to the naked eye.
2. Saturate your site with images and animations.
Know latest trends in web design. Do not saturate web page with animated gifs that travel the same envelopes, rotation, animals or any other distraction. They are very ancient in Internet terms for the moment and instead of attracting attention or design, these elements will make your visitor to leave – quickly.
3. Using non-conventional sources
Do not use exotic fonts on your website. Each font that is used must be installed on each local computer and your website visitors have no guarantee that Acanto if you use in your website design, that each person in the world that opens this page will also have the font installed Acanto. The results can be unpredictable, to say the least.
Stick with fonts that are common to most installations of Windows and Mac. They are Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, Times New Roman Georgia.
4. No building your site to search engines.
A common mistake is to construct a site that does not take into account the needs of search engines. The result is that search engines do are not listed on the site in its search results. Internet browsers do not learn about the site and the existence of the site remains unknown.
5. Do not host your site with a provider that is scalable.
A few individuals shelters with companies that are impassable. The result is that when they does not fit into the current package can not be updated in terms of disk space or bandwidth. Scalability is an important criterion consider while hosting sites. Otherwise, the site can not accept new visitors during peak traffic.
Handling errors come from lack of understanding of online commerce. Online commerce is not just a hobby, in fact, if you do not see it as a serious matter that will be eaten much of their time and resources, your site will fail.
1. Lack of business plan
Make a business plan and set it hold. The business plan should not be abandoned if the company is progressing slowly at first. In addition, the plan must ensure the marketing spend. You will need your business, and marketing your website if you really want to see a return on investment. Most companies make the mistake of relying on the website to carry the entire burden of the advertising business, while the Real website really needs a marketing budget before starting to contribute positively the company.
You must define your target group and invest in advertising that targets – both online and offline. Patience and perseverance are necessary, because you can not get immediate results. Creating networking with family, friends and colleagues can also help. It may be visible to online communities. Avoid spam, which has a negative effect.
2. Ensures that the plan for periods of scarcity.
You may need the help of your banker or other sources that can provide short-term capital, advice and resources. You have to invest and reinvest in your business once you start having cash flow. On the Internet (as in any business), things "not overnight. It takes time to succeed. Making a budget and track your cash flow. Before paying a high salary or buy a car, consider if can really afford. His own company, either online with the support of a website or online completely consumed much time, energy and money and must be prepared to put that to succeed in the end.
