Home Page
This is the page which
the users will typically see first.
Contact
Us Page
Self-explanatory but
worth mentioning. You need to give your users a way to contact you.
Feedback
Form
It can be very beneficial
to make your users feel a part of your site growth. This can be accomplished
by providing them with the opportunity to give their comments and feedback.
Product
& Service Pages
Showcase your products
and services. If you have several products or services, we will need to divide
them up into categories. Let's say you sell 'gift items'. On your Products page
for example, we will list all of your product categories; computer, electronics,
music, jewelry, items for children, etc. From that page, you will click on a
category that will take you to a web page listing all of your items in that
category with photos, description & ordering capabilities. You may also
need one web page for each product and/or service. View
a sample web layout for this type of web site.
Company
Page
Most web
site visitors like to learn more about the company they are thinking about doing
business with. It helps to show them that you are an actual company and exist
outside of Cyberspace. Showcase your company, share an interesting story on
how you were established or add a message from the owner/president.
Staff
Page
Again, web site visitors like
to see the people behind the web site. Add your staff photos, position, contact
information and maybe even add something fun like a mini-bio or favorite quote.
Site
Map
A site map
serves two essential functions: To act as a road-map of your web site to help
users who get lost & to act as a single page from which the search engines
can "spider" all of your other web-pages. An essential page!
Privacy
Statement
A statement that reflects
how much you value your visitors' privacy. You may believe that many may not
read it but they sure notice when it isn't there; it assures your web site visitors
that you will not sell or give away their contact or ordering information.
Search
Provide
a search facility for your web site visitors. Nice to have perhaps but certainly
not essential, unless your site is very large.
Employee
Information Pages
Save on paper, ink & time! Provide private
or member log-in pages in order to conveniently provide important information
to your employees; department contact info and function, office protocol, insurance
benefits & policies, handbook, etc. Keep in mind that each category would
be its own web page.
Directions/Map
Helpful if you are in a hard-to-find location or just
want to provide convenient directions to your place of business.
