Web design

A Web site is a collection of information, normally about a particular subject. Designing a web site is the arrangement and creation of web pages that in turn make up the web site. A web site might be compared to a book, only the pages can be updated and changed far more frequently.

There are many aspects in the design process, and due to the rapid development of the Internet, new aspects may emerge. For non-commercial web sites, the goals may vary depending on the desired exposure and response, though for most commercial web sites, the basic aspects of design are:

• Content: the substance, and information on the site which should be relevant to the site and should target the area of the public that the website is concerned with.
• Usability: the site should be user-friendly, with the interface and navigation simple and reliable.
• Appearance: the graphics and text should include a single style that flows throughout, to show consistency. The style should be professional, appealing and relevant.
• Visibility: the site must also be easy to find via most, if not all, major search engines and advertisement media.

Once a web site has been built, it must be published or uploaded in order to be viewable to the public over the Internet.

The world of computing is full of 'geek' speak; words, phrases and even whole dictioneries full of words that mean nothing to most people. Here at Greens of Gloucestershire we aim to conduct our business in plain English. We will involve you at each stage of the process and build a site that fits your needs.
