What Makes
a Website Worth Talking About?
The website design should reflect
your target market. Your site design should suit the
demographic (age, economic or cultural characteristics)
of your customers. The site design should complement
your offline branding Your website is an important marketing
tool, and as such should reflect the branding of your
business such as colours and logo. A consistent “look
and feel” is important within the site. Creative
Web Solutions explains you what makes a website worth
talking about.
The marketing world is a buzz with
talk about, well… talk. Everyone wants their website
to go viral, to grow like wildfire as the result of
passionate conversations between devotees and non-users
who, once infected by the devotee’s passion for the
product, will rush out and buy one too. The hitch is…there
has to be something to talk about. Mercenaries will
talk for pay, but regular people talk about things that
they care about – things they are passionate about.
Regular people are passionate about their hobbies, music,
cars, food, particular gadgets, family, and more. When
a website enables them to enjoy their passions, and
does it in a way that is remarkable, they will talk
about it. When the way a product works makes them feel
good – when its design becomes an extension of their
personality - when the website enables them to do something
effortlessly that they couldn’t do easily before – the
website is worth talking about. And this can be called
as emotional response from our targetted audience.

Know about Web Design:
The very first thing a web designer
in the beginning of web design would usually figure
out is that the web is all about compromise.
Web designers coming from a print design background,
are usually handed a box of 216 crayons, list of a 1/2
dozen available typefaces & 72 dpi limit on image
resolutions. Every web designer in start is basically
shocked with such limitations of colours and fonts in
web. But as time goes and they get used to working within
these web limitations, they stumble upon page weights,
arbitrary standards support and CSS scythes.
If programmers design websites, they know that web
servers were built to forget browsers after every page
visit and that aome of the form controls they know and
love — like combo boxes — are not available
in HTML.
Every new web design is the elucidation to a design
problem that can be figured out in a sequence of constraint
questions like Who are my audiences? What will they
get in my website? How do I want them to think about
my site? What platforms or browsers are we planning
to target? Will using Flash help?
Meaning:
Web design is acutally defined as a design of web pages,
websites and web applications using softwares like HTML,
CSS, images, and other souces of media. Web design is

Collection of information about a topic or subject
is website. To design a website we need arrangement
and creation of web pages that will turn into a website.
A web page is defined as a page which consists of information
for which the website is developed. For eg:A website
can be compared to a book, where every page of the book
is a web page.
There are many facets (design anxiety) in this process,
and due to the fast development of the web, new facets
may emerge.

in the search results..
A typical website is made of text and images. The first
page of a website is called as the Home page or Index
or even default page. Some websites even use Splash
Page. Splash pages include a welcome message, language,
region selection, or disclaimer. Each web page within
a website have there own url. After each web page is
uploaded, they are linked together in a typical manner
using a navigation menu compiled of hyperlinks.
Once a website is finally completed, it is uploaded
on web in order to be viewable to the public over the
web using a FTP server. Once uploaded, the website owner
can use a variety of techniques to increase the traffic,
or hits, that the website gets. This may involve submitting
the website to various search engines like Google,Yahoo,MSN

with similar websites, etc.
