Planning your website

2006-12-04T22:27:00.000-08:00

Save yourself time and money - leave the site planning to an expert website designer!

The requirements for a website have become so complicated, you can easily make a strategic blunder. Even the placement of a navigational title or a structural mistake can cause a website to fail. Information Architecture is a delicate science. Here's an intro from Wikipedia:

Information architecture (often abbreviated "I.A.") is the practice of structuring information (knowledge or data) for a purpose. These are often structured according to their context in user interactions or larger databases. The term is most commonly applied to Web development, but also applies to disciplines outside of a strict Web context, such as programming and technical writing.
Wikipedia
In the context of web design (or design for related media) information architecture is defined by the Information Architecture Institute as
The structural design of shared information environments.
The art and science of organizing and labeling web sites, intranets, online communities and software to support usability and findability.
An emerging community of practice focused on bringing principles of design and architecture to the digital landscape.

Edit Your Website In-house

2006-12-04T22:19:00.000-08:00

Many companies are looking for a web site that can be updated via the web - by their own staff. This kind of website is called a Content Management System.

A web site content management system runs on the site's server. Most systems provide controlled access for various ranks of users such as administrators, editors and ordinary content creators. Access is usually via a normal web browser program, possibly combined with some use of FTP for uploading content.

The content and all other information related to the site is usually stored in a server-based database system such as MySQL or MsSQL.

The pages created by the content management system can be viewed by the visitors to the site.

Internally, many web site content management systems are written in the PHP programming language and quite a few use the Smarty Template Engine.

Microsites: Hot Tool

2006-12-04T21:58:00.000-08:00

If you are launching a new product or service, Tennyson Group's Web Site Design division offers a specialised service in planning and developing microsites. So what is a micro site?

A microsite, also known as minisite, is an Web Site Design term referring to an individual web page or cluster of pages which are meant to function as an auxiliary supplement to a primary Web Site. The microsite's main landing page most likely has its own URL.

They are typically used to add a specialized group of information either editorial or commercial. Such sites may be linked in to a main site or not or taken completely off a site's server when the site is used for a temporary purpose. The main distinction of a microsite versus its parent site is its purpose and specific cohesiveness as compared to the microsite's broader overall parent website.

Microsites used for editorial purposes may be a page or group of pages that, for example, might contain information about a holiday, an event or similar item which gives more detailed information than a site's general content area may provide. A community organization may have its main site with all of the organization's basic information, but create a separate, temporary microsite to inform about a particular activity, event or similar.

Often, microsites will be used for editorial purposes by a commercial business to add editorial value. For example, a retailer of party goods may create a microsite with editorial content about the history of Halloween or some other holiday or event. The commercial purpose of such editorial microsites, (beyond driving product sales), may include adding value to the site's visitors for branding purposes as well as providing editorial content and keywords allowing for greater chances of search engine inclusion.

Microsites may be used for purely commercial purposes to create in-depth information about a particular product or service or as editorial support towards a specific product, such as describing a new technology. A car manufacturer, for example, may present a new hybrid vehicle and support the sales presentation with a microsite specific to explaining hybrid technology.

What is a website?

2006-12-04T21:43:00.000-08:00

A website is a collection of information about a particular topic or subject. Designing a website is defined as the arrangement and creation of web pages that in turn make up a website. A web page consists of information for which the website is developed. For example, a website might be compared to a book, where each page of the book is a web page.

A website typically consists of text and images. The first page of a website is known as the Home page or Index. Some websites use what is commonly called an Enter Page. Enter pages might include a welcome message, language/region selection, or disclaimer. Each web page within a website is an HTML file which has its own URL. After each web page is created, they are typically linked together using a navigation menu composed of hyperlinks.
