What is Web design?

Wikipedia says: “Web design is a broad term used to encompass the way that content is delivered to an end-user through the World Wide Web, using a web browser or other web-enabled program to display the content.”   It could definitely be that…

A successful website should be all about a pleasant and relatively simple experience. In other words, Don’t Make Me Think!  (Your) Users need to be able to easily search and find information without ending up irritated or confused.  When they look for the cost of your products or the address of your business and find blinking banners on a distracting background, they may well just leave. At which point, the funds spent working out & marketing your site will have been spent for nothing.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) represents the most common avenue toward reaching your targeted audience.  As well, SMO (Social Media Optimization) is gaining momentum as a way of attracting targeted website traffic.  As per a recent Hubspot survey, Facebook is in the front line, followed by Twitter, & Youtube.  At one time novelties, they have quickly surpassed standard media as a primary means of B2B and B2C marketing. Coupled with Link building, these venues have become the main focus of Social Media Optimization.

A little about WordPress:

WordPress is Open source web software you can use to create a beautiful website or blog. We like to say that WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.

The core software is built by hundreds of community volunteers, and when you’re ready for more there are thousands of plugins and themes available to transform your site into almost anything you can imagine. Over 25 million people have chosen WordPress to power the place on the web they call “home” — we’d love you to join the family.

This site will try to strive towards my process as I moved through jobs. I will add links to sites I find worthwhile but not always design related. Your comments welcomed.
