Your website is one of the greatest tools
for marketing your business. Hence, it is imperative to find a well-reputed and
experienced web design company for web development. You can assess their skill
through previous work, their number of clients, and the quality of their own
website. Obviously, years of experience in the web development business
indicates the skills and experience of the company in the market. Its number of
clients shows the spectrum of different projects.
Today many tools (often developed)
exist to create a website without specific computer knowledge. However, in my view,
the creation of an effective website is a serious job that you cannot learn
overnight. Here are some basic pitfalls of a self-job.
Graphics
It is quite simple to make a
website, but when you need a graphic, exclusively developed to make your site
stand out from the competition and visually pleasing, it faces different
constraints.
Even if an experienced graphic
designer makes the layout of your page, it must integrate to transform a
picture file in HTML elements. Hence, a professional web design company offers
skills and experience to help you save time on this step.
The compatibility between browsers
To browse the Internet, you will
probably always use the same browser, Internet Explorer in most cases. However,
there are different browsers and different versions of each browser like Mozilla
Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Google Chrome so you cannot dictate your user to
use your desired browser. The user will always go for the best internet
browser.
Although the current trend is
towards uniformity, but there are still differences in the interpretation of
web pages across browsers. Thus, pages that will display fine in Internet
Explorer 7 will haywire in IE 6... unless the tests were conducted properly,
and that the person who created your site made sure to use compatible techniques,
so that all visitors coming to your site have the same display, regardless of
the configuration of their computer! So who will conduct these tests? Of course,
a well-reputed and experienced web designs company.
The inclusion of screen resolutions
A website must navigable whatever
the screen resolution of the Internet user sets. Let suppose if the width of a
web page is 1200 pixels, a user with a screen width of 1024 pixels will lose
some of the content. Specifically, he will scroll horizontally the screen to
access the right side of the page content: which is painful! Solutions exist to
combine graphics and compatibility between different sizes of display, it is
still necessary to know to implement them...
