Things to note before starting web design

As mentioned in the previous series, in the era of information explosion, websites have become a trend, the “face” of many businesses – your “representative face” in the world, where, after just 1 click and 0.1s, the whole world will know about your business. However, before signing a website design contract with any unit, businesses or investors also need to answer the following questions to avoid the situation of designing a website and then leaving it unused or not using it for the right purpose.

1. Determine the purpose of website design

Website design is also an investment for the company, so before starting, you need to answer the following questions:

• What is the purpose of building this website?
• What benefits will your website bring to your company or business?

The answers to these questions will depend on the specifics of your business. The above questions will help you narrow down the potential customers on the internet that your business is targeting. From that answer, you will have the purpose of web design for your business:

• Introduce and promote the image of the business
• Promote and PR for new products
• Make a business of the main product of the business…

2. Set the criteria that the website needs to achieve

Competition on the Internet is as fierce as any offline market. So when researching the customer market of competitors, user trends, you can also set the criteria that your website needs to have to attract and retain potential customers. Be specific with these criteria:

• The interface color is harmonious, with highlights to attract visitors.
• The content is SEO standard, complete, attractive, and focused on the promotion (can be detailed for each item, each type of product…)
• Easy to manage, update content, and upgrade.

3. Identify the tasks that need to be done for Web design

Based on the above criteria, list the tasks that you need to do for the new website design:

• About the interface: A quality website must ensure two factors: aesthetics and scientific layout. Provide the main color (in harmony with the logo and the business’s industry, brand identity…)
• About the content: What does your business need to convey to its customers?
• About the website’s feature system: In addition to the more unique the website content, the simpler the feature system, the more convenient it is, really The better the user experience, the higher the chance that your website will attract more traffic.

4. Choosing a domain name

Domain name needs to be associated with your brand, the more concise, short, and easy to remember the domain name is better. You should not choose a free domain name because the risk of being stolen is very high. A free domain name is like a house that you can only live in but not own, so when something happens you cannot get it back.

5. Choose a Hosting package

Page loading speed, image loading depends on the capacity hosting and network bandwidth. Free or cheap hosting packages often do not guarantee the database traffic level and affect page load speed.

6. Choosing a Web Design Partner

Instead of using the word “unit”, here we use “partner” because website design is not just a simple job of designing the programming interface for the website to operate, but also contributes to building the image and promoting the customer’s products to users. A complete website must not only meet technical and aesthetic requirements but also be useful and cost-effective with the value it brings to the business. For example, there are two website design companies, but one has a lower price with N functions and one has a slightly higher price but N+n functions. The takeaway here is that you should not consider the price too much, the price will change flexibly depending on the function and value of that function.
