Croceus Web Design 

At Croceus Web Design we keep it simple and include the client at all stages of the development process to ensure that the website you end up with is the one you had envisaged initially - at least an enhanced version thereof. As part of the creative website design process we never forget its the client's vision we're seeking to create at affordable website design rates.

By perusing this website we hope you'll gain an understanding of:

Website design and creation is not difficult but like anything your finished product largely depends on where and how you start so we require Clients to put in some thinking time and complete a questionnaire at the initial stage. This first step often redefines the objective the client had initially and the decomposition of objectives helps to focus clients on what they really want to accomplish rather than what they thought they wanted.

Whether it's

	a family website
	a sales page
	an informational website
	a small business seeking better exposure
	or anything which you feel would benefit from internet exposure

Croceus can help advise develop and launch you onto the cyber commercial highways. Alternately we can give our strongest recommendation to specific software and courses which will enable you to accomplish your own goals and perhaps start your own small business enterprise.

The one basic requirement when thinking, designing and creating websites, which should always be remembered throughout the entire creative website design process is content. Content is King when it comes to informing your readers what the website is  about or keeping them engaged. Above all with ever more sophisticated algorithms in search engines like Google it is important to have relevant content. Content can be generated in any number of ways including:

	Original Content
	Articles, Press Releases
	FAQs
	Images and Videos
	Adverts
	Directory Lists
	RSS Feeds
	Public Domain - items out of copyright

...and many more besides. You can have a website up and running within minutes by just assembling  various content already available to you on the internet. But, the BEST and most WORTHWHILE content which will help you climb the search rankings is original content. This is why at Croceus we really encourage clients to generate as much original relevant content as possible.

Keywords are also very important in the initial stages of development. As part of first the phase in the creative website design process we definitely recommend a certain time spent researching Keywords. There's no need to get totally carried away here but a certain minimum amount of research should be put in. Ongoing attention to changes in keywords should also remembered to maintain your website's ranking with the search engines. The four main elements of good keyword attributes are:

	Worthwhile
	Achievable
	Specific / Relevant
	Practical

 The third point to bear in mind after these initial design stages have received some attention, is the generation of inbound links to your website. Many people attempt to load up literally thousands of links within weeks of a launch. We advise against such a policy. Again the algorithms in the search engines are becoming increasingly more sophisticated, and at Croceus Web Design our advise is to build links slowly over time. Similarly we would advise adding content slowly over time. This ranks better with the search engine optimization (SEO) process and it recognises constant relevant attention to the website. Here again notice the word relevant it's important to add links which are relevant to what your website is about.

In every part of the process be it content, keywords, links we must ensure that they are all RELEVANT to your aim and objectives only then will you truly meet them and your website will be deemed a success.
