What makes a good website?

What makes a good website?

By Forward Web 07 October, 2019

The answer to this question can quickly be determined by first establishing a purpose and settings some objectives for your website.

As an example, lets say you have a restaurant with the following goals

1. Increase Returning Customers
2. Increase New customers.

 

Now that we have established the purpose of your website, we can focus on objectives.

Increasing Returning Customers: What are some ways we can bring back customers through your website? First, we want to make sure the basics are covered by ensuring information returning visitors are interested in (Menu’s, Location, Hours..ect) are easily accessible. The second is we might want to offer (in a non-intrusive way) some form of incentive for the visitor to come back to your restaurant (i.e sign-up for our newsletter and get X amount off..ect).

 

Increasing New Customers: What are some ways you can bring in new customers through your website? Making sure your on-line presentation is solid by placing inviting pictures, descriptive and easily accessible menu’s (with pictures of food items) + call to action (exclusive first time customer coupons via none intrusive click here button’s).

 

In closing, what ultimately makes a good website is how well your website is meeting objectives. Since every business is different, what ultimately makes a good website will differ from website to website.

Fernando D. Alfaro

FOUNDER / LEAD DEV

Husband, Brother, Son, Friend, father to our son Amadeus and various fur-babies, oh and business owner/entrepreneur.

What I love most about what we do here at Forward Web is the problem solving component. The internet is always changing and everything can always be improved (which keeps things exciting for me). My goal here at Forward Web is to create the most efficient web platforms possible, empowering the end user to either spend less time on the internet or to solve some form of inefficiencies that exist within the business through the web (think automation, but not necessarily limited to automation).

I have a deep fascination with A.I (Artificial Intelligence) and decentralized platforms. However outside of the internet I enjoy listening to music, working on various side projects and boxing (yes, boxing).

Julia Alfaro

Creative / Accounts

Helping people has always been a passion of mine. People are interesting to me. In fact, I believe that everyone is like a book because we all have a story to tell. I gain great satisfaction in knowing that I am able to make someone’s day, life or business a little better, even if it’s just by sharing a smile or a little positivity.

I strive to be a professional woman, I take pride in that. I am very hardworking, kind, intelligent and ambitious. I am a dreamer; I have very high hopes, dreams and goals. I am talented, creative and funny, with a great imagination! I am not perfect, I accept that, but I do tend to be a perfectionist (that can sometimes be a good thing or a bad thing). But in reality, I am a work in progress and I am learning to live life one day at a time.
