Web Design and Content

Web design comes in many shapes, forms and contents. It is the gift wrapping of your site, or your publishing package to share with viewers various products, services, or information.

Many aspects contribute to a great design. I like to compare a great design to a Porsche, or Lamborghini. For example, a great design, looks pleasing to the eyes, is nicely formatted, and just simply makes the reader want to dive right in, and drive it?

Although what would a Porsche be without an engine? Basically a pretty picture but quite incomplete. This is why Web Design Building is so multi-level.

The more overlooked aspect to a great design is the content it holds. Just like the Lamborghini looks great, the most important aspect is of course its engine. This engine is your content. Your content drives the reader, and most importantly the search engines too. Keywords and placement, is "key" when driving your site to the top, in the great world of Search Engine Optimization.

So what would great content be without a hot design? Pretty much, just a shell less little engine. This is why it is so important to fuse both nice design and relevant content with great keywords into your entire web site.
