Answer: Although the criteria for a good web site changes over time, there are a couple of things that a good web site features:
1. First Impression:
It looks good at first glance. Just as a good looking person leaves a good first impression, a good-looking home page is a must for a website's success. This includes nice graphical images, innovative navigational user interfaces, and perhaps animation.
2. Balance:
It also uses the right amount of graphics. If the website has an excessive amount of graphical components, it will take a long time for the web page to load. But, it is very hard to design a good-looking website without the use of graphics and images. Without their use, sites would look uninteresting. Therefore, in order for a site to look nice it needs to have at least some graphical images. However, an excessive amount of graphics and images on a web site can be detrimental in other ways as well. It can clutter the look of the site, as well as take up much loading time for visitors and customers. If the images on the site are put together too closely, or if there are too many different color tones on the page, the site can look messy and undistinguished. Thus, the key to a nice looking website is a balanced and proportioned use of graphical images--small enough to load quickly, but nice-looking enough to promote the site.
3. Updated regularly:
It's content is updated on a regular basis. Even if the web site looks good at first glance, and uses the right amount of graphics, if it's content is not updated regularly, its viewers will get bored and not want to come back. You have to give a reason for viewers to come back to your site. If all the information that was displayed last month or last week stays the same, people will not want to come back. Dynamically changing information is what drives the internet, and so if viewers are to return to the site, fresh content needs to be updated on a regular basis. Fresh content drives a web site. In terms of Online Shopping Malls, this means for example, that they must upload new products from time to time.
Question #2: What is web hosting?
Answer: Web hosting is putting your web content into a server that is connected to the Internet. Depending on the connection speed that the hosting provides, your site's viewers will be able to see your pages open up faster or slower.
Here are a couple of connection types: Dial-up connections, DSL connections, Cable connections, T1 connections, and T3 connections.
To understand how these connections handle web traffic, we can use a highway as an analogy. A T1 connection is like a 4-lane highway. A T3 connection is like a 100-lane highway. Since T3 has more lanes than T1, more traffic can go through it at once compared to T1 connections. DSL or Cable connections have more lanes than dial-up connections, but less than T1 and T3 connections. Web Traffic will thus move much faster in a T3 connection than in a T1 connection, just as Cable and DSL will provide faster connection than dial-up. We provide you quality T1 connections.
