Regardless of industry, the following are essential standards for a website to be effective and successful:
-
Minimal Loading Time
People rarely wait longer than a few seconds for a site to load before moving on (3 seconds according to Website Grader). All website pages, including the home page, should be quick to load.
-
Relevant Graphics
Keep graphics relevant and simple. Graphics should provide a visual aid to the user in understanding the related content.
- Too many graphics can be distracting
- Graphics that are not properly optimized may slow loading time. This can result in irritating visitors on mobile connections.
-
Identify the Purpose
Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How?
Clearly identify the purpose of the website, company, employees, the customers to be serviced, and so on. These questions should easily be answered upon first reac . . .
