I am Not Opinionated, I am just always right! Ok, maybe not always, but I do try to track down the truth about an issue. For example: I hate when a politician tells you one thing and does another, then the media tells you he/she did what he/she said, but he/she didn't, and vice versa, so, don't believe it, if you don't investigate it!

The Perfect Website

Instructions for a Perfect Website

Is creating a perfect website even possible? Well, I guess that depends on how you would define perfect website, so, that is the first step, define what a perfect website for you would be. One thing for sure, remember the bonsai tree and the balance of looks and function, it does not get more perfect than that.

If you are using WordPress, there are absolutely tons of plugins out there to help you make the site do what you wish for it to be your perfect website. Of course you want your site to be visitor friendly and comments are very important, and since you are reading this on the ComLuv site, take some time and read through what you find here, this is a great site, and be sure to leave a comment.

Step One, My Perfect Website Must ..

This may seem obvious, but believe me, I am sure that you have seen where this step was skipped. Define your perfect website by deciding what purpose that site will have, is it a personal blog, or an online store for a business, a corporate web-presence, maybe a team hang-out for a fan club, or whatever, but pick only one, if you try to do it all in one your visitors will get confused, it is just better to build a second website for each purpose.

Now that you have that worked out, what does this website need to do? What will make it perfect? Write it down on paper, like a legal pad, “I want my perfect website to…” then list these things that the website must be able to do to be perfect for you and your purpose, be thorough, you can always come back to this step, but before you even register a domain name, hammer this step, over an over, you may find out you have bigger

things in mind than you started out with.

Step Two, My Perfect Website Must Look Like…

By now, you may have several pages of ideas on what you want the website to do, that is great, now decide what this perfect website should look like. This step is actually less difficult than the first because there are a few basic principles that must be followed, such as;

The site must be readable, dark text needs a light background, light text needs a dark background and so on. If you look at many websites today, the lighter colors of text, on white backgrounds are hard for many of us to read, so, be nice to those of us with bad eyes.
Navigation is very critical, fancy pictures with links may look good, but if your visitor can’t find what they are looking for, in just a few seconds, they won’t stick around.
Colors need to be “eyeball friendly”, bright and blinky things may be pretty in a picture, but a website is more than just a picture, it is a representation of you or your business.
Sound is a really big “no-no” these days, back in the 90’s things like animated .gif images with sound were all the rage, then came flash and so on, but, luckily sanity is prevailing, so unless you want to run off your visitors, make sound an option that they select, like with a video, they must hit play or it stays quiet. Seriously, something like 90% of people polled hate auto-play sound and will immediately leave a site to get away from the noise.
Get advice, if you need help, ask for it, WildWebDesigner.com is a great place to get help building your own website.

Now that you have all of that worked out, go to work and make it happen. The only bad website is the one never built, so put yourself into it, build it for you, if you like it, great, because no matter how well you do, there will always be someone that does not like it, this is why I say, build it for you, when you feel that it is the perfect website, it is!
