GTX Web Design, Inc. offers a variety of technical services
including website design services. 'Design' means defining the physical layout, navigation
and content of a web site... and working with you to determine what additional
Featured Technologies will be used.
Website Content
The first step in designing a website is deciding what information to
publish. Obviously, name, location and telephone information are the basics. The next
question would be: What are you selling? Depending on the products and services, however,
the amount of information published can range from basic to a very detailed description
of products and services.
Many businesses already have printed marketing and promotion materials. It's
simple to glean content directly from this material for use on the website. However, you
may decide to include additional information and content. Printed marketing and
promotion material is often expensive to produce and, therefore, can be limited in content.
With a website, your business can publish as much information as you want!
Content can be as simple as you want it to be. Your website can contain a simple 1-2 pages of
description... or it could be comprehensive and include a large amount of content. It's
up to you.
Layout & Navigation
Once the general content has been determined, the site layout and
navigation need to be identified. Layout is simply the physical appearance of the text
as it appears on the website. This is similar to a printed brochure. Where do you want
the title? What do you want the customer to see immediately upon entering your website.
We can greatly assist you choosing a layout suitable to your business and style.
Navigation is unique to the web. If your website contains multiple pages of
content, the customer needs a simple and easy means for jumping (navigating) to the different
content. This is handled via buttons and navigation bars.
"Good content and effective navigation go hand in hand -- without one,
the other is useless". Jean Kaiser (About.com) 5/29/99
