The very best place to start is to visit local websites that you like the most or feel have that special touch you are looking for own website. Once you are on the website you like, scroll to the footer section, it is normally here that you will find copyright and web agency links.

Visit the website and think of it as an online business card. If the website is well presented with a comprehensible design and flow, it is a good start.

Web Design Mauritius – Be Responsive

The Internet has become an integral part of everyday life. Even on the move, more and more surfed with mobile phone and tablet. Therefore, it is enormously important that the homepage on all devices is clearly displayed and easy to use. Responsive web design is essential for a clean presentation, but also for search engine optimization.

The Importance of Responsive Web Design

“Responsive” translates from the English as “react”. Translated to the web design, one could say the design “responds” to the device on which it is displayed. When creating a homepage in Responsive Web Design, it specifies how the page is displayed on different screen sizes. On the monitor with at least 1024-pixel resolution, the user sees a classically constructed website, usually with a few columns next to each other.

If the same page is called up with the tablet, which has significantly less width, the columns adjust themselves so that a clean picture develops. Even further, the content of the page must adapt when it is opened with the smartphone. In this case, the page recognizes the resolution and usually has no more columns, but sorts the content among themselves.

3D in your web pages

How to write good content for your website?

To be more precise, your content must be relevant, digestible, interesting and memorable, identifiable by the search engines. And they must be kept up to date. And if your content is good, why reserve your talent to your website?

Relevant and digestible

When you write a text, strive to think like your readers. Address your visitors, your customers. Use specific terms. Go straight to the point in your texts and descriptions. What works best is necessarily short. Avoid any entrepreneurial jargon, talk like your customers would. Otherwise, they may never come to your site. And if they succeed in falling on them, they will not understand much of it, and will go to other heavens.

People do not read websites, they scan the screen until something catches their attention. If there is too much text to inspect, or if they do not find anything they expected, they move on to something else. Split your texts. Make short sentences and small paragraphs.

Choose your titles carefully. Do not say too much, or too little, it is the rule. And give care to the language you use, it’s important: If your site is for children, say “How to make paper flowers”, if it is addressed to specialists say: “Model for Origami: Pink “.

Use illustrations. A picture is worth a thousand words. If possible, replace some paragraphs with a photo or video.
