Domains and Web Design

What is a domain name? As defined in wikipedia, domain names serve the most basic functionality. That is to provide symbolic representations as recognizable names to numeric internet protocol address. It's easier to tell someone to visit my site at mydomain.com instead of visiting my site at 111.111.111.111. The most obvious function of a domain name is to provide branding on the internet.

A good domain name can compliment your products, services or business name. Common top level domains are .com, .net, .org, .info while the main country code top level domains in use in Australia are .com.au, .net.au and .org.au. However many of the good names have been taken in these extensions. This is why Global Domains International offers such a great opportunity. Not only do you get a unique domain that would not be available in other extensions, but you also get an incredible online income opportunity.

To compliment your domain name you require good content about the subject at hand which is usually your products and/or services. A product review or product specifications are great ways to achieve this as it only not informs your visitors but educates them as well.

Web design on the other hand, is the designing and graphical representation of content shown on the internet in the form of web sites and other web applications using many different forms of media. The two main keys when designing your website is to firstly communicate your content to the visitor while secondly impressing with your graphical designs, website style etc.

Web design takes a lot of time and effort. Web design is a process of conceptuatlisation, planning, modeling and execution of delivering the media content to your visitors. Many factors need to be considered including the design and position of your logo, size and positioning of pictures/videos, colour schemes and much more.

Conceptualization per se, includes groups of people brainstorming on the ideas that customers want for their web sites.

Careful planning if the key if you want your web design to represent your company to it's full potential on the internet. Some questions to ask yourself or your team of web designers are:
(1) Why are you developing the site?
(2) What is the purpose of the site?
(3) Who are your intended audience? (their background, interests, skills, values and knowledge)
(4) What are the resources or ingredients you will use to create web sites?
(5) What is your desired start date and frequency of updates?
(6) Where will you host your website?

Web Design modeling includes the use of persons or inanimate graphics to be incorporated on the designs themselves. Will you use a live person to act as a model for your current products and/or services? Some sites now are not content with "off the box" graphics or icons being used over and over again all over the internet. Remember your website has to catch visitors attention and being unique is a huge bonus. Live person models give it a touch or "larger than life" designs. Global Domains International offers a great website builder if you are wanting to build a basic website yourself.

The execution or deployment of the design entails where it needs to be hosted, and what media to bring or deliver it on the internet. If your company is mostly doing web designs for example, a html and flash based pages should be recommended for upward and downward compatibility. The design needs to impress the viewers with the capabilities of the web design companies. Will a server with unix operating system suffice or does it need to be hosted on expensive Windows servers.
