Why your site needs to be easily navigable. |
|

Lets face it, no one wants to go roaming
through 5 hours of pages to look for what they need, or worse,
get back to where they were to begin with! When people have to
look forever to find what it was they went to the site to find
in the first place, they just get frustrated and wind up leaving
altogether. This doesn't lead to extra sales or more people
learning about your company or organization, it leads to less
people, because those same people who left your site will tell
their friends to not use you because your navigation is so bad.
Not using folders, placing everything in the root directory,
disorganized folders with no clear intent, broken hyperlinks,
all of these can cause poor site navigation, and, what's worse,
cost you business. Well, Studio 4 Design, LLC will ALWAYS build
clean, crisp, easily navigable websites, because there is no
excuse for not doing so! A website with folders and few pages in
the root directory is more professional looking, less
amateurish, and helps to increase your website's security. It
also makes it much easier for yourself or some one in you
company or organization to go and edit your site, as your files
are easily found and changed/removed/added to.
There is another advantage to having an easily navigable site,
and that's that Google likes them. Google's search engine's
crawler does just what it sounds like, it crawls through your
website and returns information back to Google's main database,
which then helps to position your website in the natural search
results section of its search engine. A site with broken links,
and everything in the home directory isn't something that Google
likes very much, because its poorly put together. A site with
named folders appropriate to the content that's within them, i.e.
an image folder with images in it, will lead to a favorable
report by the crawler for your website, which will in turn
benefit your site as a whole. |
