The single most important thing to remember when constructing a web page is your objective. What do
you want to communicate? Keeping this in mind will help you to know what to include and what is not necessary.
Our philosophy is to make a web page that will load quickly and still look sharp and be easy to read.
Sometimes
the fancy stuff can detract from the main focus of the site, making it difficult to locate the information that a person is seeking. At other times, however, the objective of the website is to be fun and flashy, not merely to convey
information.
Whatever your desire for a website, The Great Web Gods can do it. We can work by the hour if you simply need some consulting assistance, or we can develop your site from the ground up.
Suggestions for Creating A Web Page
1. As stated above, the single most important thing to remember when constructing a web page is your objective. What do you want to communicate? Keeping this in
mind will help you to know what to include and what is not necessary.
2. When you place photos or other graphics on your page, be sure that they are optimized for the internet. What looks best on your own computer can
often take a very long time to load across the phone lines. The Great Web Gods can do this conversion for you.
3. Be sure that the page starts showing something right away. Some programmers seem to want the
entire page to load all at once, but this can cause a person to be looking at a blank page for what seems like a very long time. Load some text or a small menu or something for the person to view while the larger graphics are loading.
4. Many people think they can make a fortune if they provide banners and links to other sites. After all, you can get a penny or two for each person who clicks on one of these links. The problem is that there are
so many sites out there with dozens of these links, that no one can find what they want. If you have found one or two links that are truly helpful to your visitors, provide the link, whether or not you make a profit for hosting that link.
