Effective Website

I feel that there are many aspects to what an effective website really is. I believe that the most important aspect of an effective website is knowing who your audience is. When you consider creating a website it is very similar to writing a paper, you think about your target audience and what you want to accomplish at the beginning will guide you in your decision making process of constructing your website. I feel that an effective website makes it obvsious to its visitors on how they might use the website. That could mean a variety of things such as visitors simply reading texts, navigating around the website, sending an e-mail etc. I feel that the best web sites show care with the small details, including careful attention to the writing. For example, I website that has unorganized text or even misspelled text turns me off from visiting the website again or finding it appealing to visit. I believe that an effective website has a consistent look and feel that makes the Web site appear unified and supports the content. You don't need a loud background or fancy images to a visual theme, instead using simple colors or text that go well together would work even better. I also feel that a website should be easy to navigate through and its really great if there are links to take you back to the top of the page or back to a prior section instead of having to scroll up and down and clicking a bunch of times to get to the specific place in the web site that you want. I also feel that a text should be readable, if its too long I along with many others don't want to take the time to read all of it and with that i'm ending my post!
