Mediatician web design services:
Just as every business and person is unique, your website should also be unique and mediatician offers bespoke designs, creating entirely new design approaches for each client. Mediatician also offers customisation from libraries of website designs created by international design houses. Mediatician will help you find the right balance, and right approach for your website.
Mediatician offers design services only, so once a website's design is complete it needs to be hosted on a server linked to the Internet and have a domain name (i.e www.thisisyourdomainname.com). Mediatician can recommend reliable and cost effective hosting and domain name registration providers, and liaise with them to get your site up and running, live to the world. The advantage of this system is that you keep complete control with hosting and domain names wholly owned by, and registered to, your business. Using this method, mediatician can be given administrative rights to upload your completed site to the server, and then hand control back to you. Mediatician can design and get your site active as a one-off service or can be engaged to update your website with new content on a regular or ad hoc basis.
For further details on the actual design process please go to the 'about mediatician' page, or use the form on the 'contact' page to contact mediatician directly for more information. If you want to update your website yourself and need a little help in getting started, mediatician can offer training for website maintenance as well.
A few notes on content design for the internet...
Ease of finding your site:
Everybody wants their site to be listed as high up as possible on Google, Yahoo and the like, however, getting these high ratings is not as easy as waving a magic wand. The process of getting your site moving higher up the search engine listings is called Search Engine Optimisation (SEO for short). It involves tweaking the information contained in your site so that each page of your site develops a theme around keywords and phrases unique to your individual business, and then mirroring these keywords and phrases within the code that makes up the behind-the-scenes design of your website. Using this combination of keywords, good content and good code, search engines should be able to verify to their satisfaction that your business is what it claims to be, is relevant to the keywords you have included, and, as a result, deserves to be moved up the ranks so that people can find it easier. Only you will know your businesses unique selling points and be able to crystallise these into the most suitable keywords for search engines to look for. Mediatician can guide you in your keyword creation, working with you to understand your business and help in the creation of tailored content. Once you have your content optimised then Mediatician can complete the behind-the-scenes work, and, when it’s all ready, submit your site to the most suitable search engines, getting it listed for all the world to find and view.
Fast upload times, informative content:
Getting your page to load quickly is very important as people tend to be impatient, perhaps never more so than on the internet. They expect content, and they expect it now! They also expect well written content and engaging visuals to keep the eye interested as well as the brain. In terms of written content, the internet has a writing style of its own. Content should expressed in plain, well written language, and be divided into small paragraph segments with clear headings, and sub headings.
Visual content:
Visuals should be colourful and creative but not form a distraction from the written content. Visuals can be static images or moving images and animation (usually created through a programme called Flash). There should be enough visual elements to keep the visitors interest but only to an amount that the chosen page is able to load quick enough for the target audience.
Targeting an audience:
Target audiences can vary from aiming at the broadest possible spectrum of visitors, to niche audiences such as a particular youth market. This can reflect on your visual style and visual density; keeping the amount light for a general audience, or accepting the risk to loose much of the general audience by creating a Flash intensive site to appeal to your niche youth audience. All of this can be discussed with Mediatician so that the most suitable website design is chosen for your business and personal needs.
