Choosing a Professional WordPress Website
Design Service
  • WordPress website design isn't just about
    pressing the install button in your hosting
    control panel.There are lots of behind the scenes
    considerations that affect your website.
  •  
  • WordPress is an incredibly flexible website
    design program. It handles all sorts of things
    and makes it easy for you or your designer to be
    in complete control.Which means it can be akin to
    being a child in a sweetshop who wants everything
    in sight.But often, less is more and it pays to
    resist the temptation to add every conceivable
    bell and whistle "just in case".
  • The first thing to remember is that WordPress
    separates the different elements of your website
    design
  • Page content
  • Website look and feel
  • Website functionality
  • This is usually good but it can mean that amateur
    designers confuse the various areas and don't get
    the most benefit from the flexibility offered.
  •  
  •   Page content
  • This is actually the most important part of any
    website design service.
  • Yet often it's neglected or left as an
    afterthought.
  • The problem with that approach is that it doesn't
    matter how good your website looks if people
    don't find it.
  • And one of the most common ways they find your
    site is through a Google search.
  • Google and the other search engines will index
    all the words on each of the pages on your
    website and will do their best to match them with
    what individual people

  • are searching for. They will do the same for
    other elements on your website such as images but
    they don't do anywhere near as good a job with
    these as they do with words, so remember that the
    written content on your website is far and away
    the most important element.
  • Being really blunt, if your website designer
    tries to tell you otherwise, it's time to rethink
    your choice of designer.
  • Website functionality
  • The initial WordPress installation gives your
    website some basic functionality.
  • WordPress offers extensions (called plugins) to
    improve and modify the functionality.
  • Some of these cover the basic things such as how
    your website is presented to the search engines -
    a variety of SEO plugins offer fine control over
    this and can help get your website found more
    often.Others cover how WordPress maintenance
    services works, including some behind the scenes
    techie things such as making sure that unwanted
    hackers find it difficult to compromise your
    website and move elsewhere to easier targets.
  •  Yet others add extra functionality such as
    contact forms (amazingly, that's not built in to
    the base installation) as well as extras such as
    booking diaries, photo galleries and almost
    anything else you could possibly want from a
    website.
  • Your website designer should know which of these
    are essential for every single WordPress
    installation as well as which ones are suited to
    your particular needs.
  • Website Look and Feel
  • Although this is often the part that people spend
    most time on, I've left it until last.
  • If your website is brand new, the look and feel
    is the least important part.
  • Unless you do some major publicity, for the first
    few weeks or months the only people - apart from
    Google - looking at your website will be you,
    your employees and maybe some friends and
    family.What this means is that you can take some
    time to think about the look and feel of your
    website and adjust it at a later stage if you
    want to.That said, you're likely to want to make
    sure that your company logo and colours are
    reflected in the website design from the outset.
  •  But your first choice of design isn't one that
    you're stuck with forever - you can change (and
    change back) at the click of a mouse. Which makes
    experimentation with design fun but potentially
    time consuming, so be aware of that potential
    trap.To Know more about Professional WordPress
