Now, according to what has been said, you can decide what type of website is best for your business and where to start. Do not forget that the site is your representative and if it does not have a good design and does not create a good experience for visitors, it will work against you.

What is HTML and what is its use?

HTML, or Hyper Text Markup Language, means hypertext markup language. HTML is the standard language for website design and all the page codes, both from the client side and the server side, are finally converted into HTML tags in the website design and displayed by the browser. In the HTML programming language, different parts are separated from each other by components called tags, each of which has its own properties and use. These tags tell the browser what type of element each part of the page is and how it should be displayed.

What is CSS and what is its use?

Designing a site with CSS or Cascade Style Sheets is a programming language that W3C or the World Wide Web Network International Consortium has proposed to solve the problems that have arisen during the use of HTML. This programming language is practically a supplement to the HTML language and is trying to fill the weaknesses and gaps. Using CSS codes will clean and organize your programming codes.

What is PHP and what is its use?

PHP or PHyper text preprocessor is considered a powerful language for building dynamic websites. A server-side language, that its scripts are executed on the server. By using PHP language, you can program and design large corporate portals and sites with power.

Retargeting

Retargeting allows you to bring back to your site people who have directly visited your site but did not make a purchase. Research has shown that only 1% of people who visit your website convert into customers on their first visit. With the help of retargeting, you can return the remaining 99% to your site.

Observance of important points when designing the site

Call-to-Action

One of the most important ways to increase the conversion rate of a suitable design is the Call-to-Action. In fact, without the Call-to-Action, you lose the main impact of the website design. Among the options offered to website visitors are: subscribing to newsletters, contacting us, and buying now. The design of your website should clearly convey what you are doing and also guide users to the desired page and goal. In this way, you turn the user into a real customer.

Observance of Simplicity

Sometimes a busy website design kills it. Excessive and busy design can include the use of many plugins and tools, a lot of text, as well as vague and confusing explanations about the activity of your website. In addition, the busy design of the website reduces the loading speed of the pages, which leads to an increase in the exit rate. So in this way, by maintaining the quality of the content, make the design and writing of the site simple and catchy so that the user reaches his desired goal directly. Also, avoid using specific terms.

Button Design

There is no rule that you must place the buttons in your website design, but if you compare several different website designs, you will see that some options have a fixed position, for example, the user after entering the website for Using the menu refers to the top or left side, this action is unconscious, and if there is no menu bar in these parts, the user leaves the site. In the following, we describe some fixed buttons and their functions. The registration and login buttons are located on the top right.

The logo of the website should be clickable so that the user is transferred to the main page after clicking on it, and the logo is usually placed on the left side or in the middle of the header. The call-to-action button should be at the top of the page and ideally visible after entering the page. Make sure the call-to-action is clearly clickable.
