Websites

Websites are now a days a very important tool for people in private life as well as in business life. To find information as quick as possible, it is the easiest to use the internet and the webpages found. Nowadays people dont used the printed version of a phonebook, they go online and use the website of the phoneprovider and do a quicksearch to find the information required.

There are a variety of different types of sites. Business, Finace, Computing, Careers, Shopping are just a few to be mentioned. Websites can be ineffective or effective, which will translate whether a website is userfriendly or more so confusing to the user. To make a website effective the follwoing aspects should be taken into account while creating the website. The Design, the performance, security and usability. Websites should have a clear and straight forward design with uniform naviagtion so that the user always find his way through the pages without "getting lost" in the www. It is also important not to overload a page with to much information or on the other hand to less information. Webpages should be designed that their performance is accurate and quick. The user does not want to wait a long time for a site to upload just to see e.g. a picture if he wants to get information on his taxreturns. So function and performance is a important aspect to keep in mind, whiles creating a website.
