Basic Website Design

A Simple Solution 

A question often raise is how many pages do you need to build a basic website? The answer is one, which is referred to a as business card website. It is a copy of your business card developed in to an HTML page and uploaded to a server so it can be accessed online. The information is kept short and contact details are displayed along with an e-mail contact link. You can't get much more basic than that. However from a website design perspective there is not much to catch the imagination and therefore most website design companies will use this as a holding page only whilst the main website is being constructed.


A Basic Website Design

A basic website design should look to encompass the interaction that a business is involved in when first meeting and setting up a new business customer. Let us explore the dialogue that may occur offline first and then map it back to a website design.

  1. A potential customer has a requirement  for either a product or service that your business provides. They will find out about your business either by word of mouth(recommendation) or through some marketing initiative. However they will still want to check you out to satisfy themselves that your are the right business for them.
  2. You will be asked to provide some background on your business to show some stability and method of working, future plans and any recommendations from other satisfied customers.
  3. Questions maybe raised as to what make your products or services different from those of your competitors.
  4. You maybe asked to outline a proposal for your customer to consider before the purchase.
  5. The potential customer may want to see samples of your work
  6. The potential customer will want to know your terms and conditions for trading.

The normal course of events in this scenario is that a representative from your business will meet up with the potential customer. Your representative will be prepares to answer any question and be able to provide collaborative collateral to support your businesses ability to meet the needs of the new customer. If your representative is successful then they will return with an order or the information needed to produce a quote to tender for the business.
