WHY HAVE A WEBSITE?
Having
your own website, be it for yourself, your business or
organisation, promotes and informs the
outside world. The Internet was born as the 'information
highway', not a term one now hears very much these days,
but nevertheless still true. Its like having a library
at your own personal disposal. A regularly updated and
informative website of your own can be built at
reasonable cost and that's why BJ Design are here to
help!

I WANT PICTURES,
GRAPHICS AND ANIMATION.....
A
website without these items would be dull and
uninspiring. Conversely, a website which is packed with
pictures, animations and all singing, all dancing
features can send someone away. There's a balance to be
had. With care, BJ Design can get the balance right for
you. At the end of the day it still your choice what's
included. We suggest you try and avoid having animated images on
your pages, Certainly not dancing skeletons and animals! Photos are usually the best
provided they are not copyrighted. For instance, the
pictures on this page are taken from
Microsoft ClipArt

WHAT WILL I GET IN MY
WEBSITE?
The
first page which you need and which visitors will arrive
at is known as the Home Page. This is reached by typing
into a browser something like
www.bj-design.org.uk. On the page you would normally
expect to see a heading (or banner), a welcome,
description of you or your organisation, and most
importantly a navigation bar which visitors can select
other pages you have published of their choosing. If you
think of a book with a main heading with chapters with
text and pictures, you've got the idea!

OTHER FEATURES FOR YOUR
WEBSITE.....
Now
you have read what a basic website consist of, the may
like to think of other features. A Contact Form for
people to send their enquiries /messages etc is always
encouraged. Your address and telephone number is useful.
Should you have a large number of pages and information,
you are encouraged to have a Search facility (probably
on the home page) It can send people to the exact
information they need in the website. More features are
available on request.
OK then..so what website packages are available to me?
