Week 6 EOC: Seduction of the Online Web Surfer

One thing that is very important to a student of the arts is an appealing website.  An appealing website just like anything else has certain characteristics that help make web surfers keep coming back for more. "A site must be visually appealing, polished and professional. Remember, it's reflecting your company, your products and your services. Your website may be the first, and only, impression a potential customer receives of your company. (http://www.spritzweb.com/resources/good-website-characteristics.html)." Your website ultimately represents you. The way it looks is definitely the major player in if people decide to come back to your website and ultimately decided if they want to invest their time and money into your skills of trade. I will definitely have my website looking clean, neat, and inviting. The color scheme will be easy on the eyes and everything will stand out, while navigation of the website will be very easy. "Content is king in the web world. People visit websites for the primary purpose of finding content, so make sure you deliver. Website content should be unique and up to date. Fresh content will keep visitors and search engines coming back for more. (http://www.successdesigns.net/articles/entry/characteristics-of-a-good-website)." Another way to capture the attention of online web surfers is to constantly update your website with fresh, new daily content. If you don't do this, then your web page becomes another cobweb and it won't attract new people to your website. One way to do this is to link your social media profiles that show up on your home page of your website. As long as it's relevant to your company and what you do, you should upload it to your website. People of the internet are always looking for new, fresh content.
