Basic Website Requirements for An Effective Website:-

Content:-

It is the most important part of the webpage. No matter how flashy and aesthetically pleasing the website looks, without the content the website would be useless and of little value to the readers or visitors.

Navigation:-

It is crucial when it comes to website design. Without it your potential clients would not be able to find out about you and your company. The navigation should be easy to use and clearly visible. Some examples include visible links to home pages, “About Us” and “Back” buttons.

White space:-

It is crucial when designing your webpage. This will make it less cluttered, easier to read and manoeuvre around the website.

Website Speed:-

It is important that your website loads quickly. This is one of the most important requirements when it comes to designing and developing a website. To ensure that your website downloads within 15 seconds, it is advised that you avoid excessive use of images, animations, videos, flash designs and audio.

Branding:-

Your name and company logo needs to be included on every page so that the visitors know exactly where they are and what to expect.

Consistency.

Your design, font, style, content and other aspects need to be consistent throughout the entire website. Remember that keeping it simple and consistent is one of the most important basic website requirements

User Friendly.

This means that the website should be user-friendly, simple and reliable.

Mobile Friendly.

It is important that you ensure that your webpages are responsive & can be read on a variety of different browsers and screen sizes as well as on mobile and tablet devices.

Access

Users can access any website by using a URL. This is the website address which is shown near the top of the web browser. The homepage and the rest of the site usually have the same words at the start of the URL.

What is a Web Page?

A web page is a document that’s created in html that shows up on the internet when you type in or go to the web page’s address.

It’s any page that you see when you surf the internet. Every new screen you see is a new web page. A web site can have one web page or millions. If you are interested in getting your own web page on the internet here is what you need to know: you must have three things to put a web page on the internet — a domain name, a web site and a web host.

A web site is simply a collection of web pages. It’s easy to create your own web site with our easy to use web page builder. No experience is necessary for that.

A web host is where your web site is stored so that when someone types in your domain name your web site appears on their computer. If you use our web site builder you don’t have to pay extra for web hosting. We include it for free in every web builder account.

Domain:

It is nothing but an simple name given to the website which will be visible and registered word wide in web.

And it is an indentification of your own website.

Domain names are formed by the rules and procedures of the Domain Name System (DNS).

Any name registered in the DNS is a domain name. Domain names are used in various networking contexts and application-specific naming and addressing purposes.

In general, a domain name represents an Internet Protocol(IP) resource, such as a personal computer used to access the Internet, a server computer hosting a web site, or the web site itself or any other service communicated via the Internet.

Web Hosting:

In order to publish a website online, we need a Web host. The Web host stores all the pages of your website and makes them available to computers connected to the Internet.

Web hosting is the service that makes your website available to be viewed by others on the Internet. A web host provides space on its server, so that other computers around the world can access your website by means of a network or modem.

If you want to publish your own website, you’ll need to sign up for a “Web hosting service.. You’ll usually have to pay a monthly fee that varies depending on how much disk space and bandwidth your site will use.

There are literally thousands of web hosting services available today, ranging from free services with limited options to expensive, specialized business web hosting services. Which option you choose depends primarily on how you plan to use your website and how much you want to spend.

Types of Web Hosting Services:-

Internet Service Providers (ISPs):-

Many people put up their first websites through their ISPs, because it’s generally easy and inexpensive. Most ISP service packages include a small amount of free web space, along with tools to create and upload websites quickly and easily. ISP websites are perfect for people who want to put up small sites with low amounts of traffic. However, there are usually rate restrictions, and most ISPs don’t offer a lot of features, so they might not be the best choice for a thriving business website.

Free Web Hosting:-

Free web hosting is another good option for smaller, personal websites. There are many free hosting providers that offer all types of features; some include CGI access and more. The drawback to most free hosting services is that they are funded by advertising that appears on your site, so free web hosting so generally best for personal, rather than business, websites.

Paid Hosting:-

With paid hosting, you pay a fee for space and services on a web hosting provider’s server. Monthly fees can range from a few dollars to several hundred dollars. Obviously, the more you pay, the more features you should have at your disposal. Services can include CGI access, database support, ASP, e-commerce, SSL, additional space on the server, extra bandwidth, and more.

Domain Hosting:-

A good option for small businesses is to pay for domain hosting. Domain hosting allows you to host your site anywhere you like: on an ISP, a free hosting service, or even your own server. You buy a domain name and have the provider forward all requests for that domain to the actual web location. This is often less expensive than buying both the domain and the hosting service, and it allows businesses to brand their URLs.

The above image will show the different types of hosting available and how the website is working.

Web hosting providers or services:-

A web hosting service is a type of internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web.

Web hosts are companies that provide space on a servcer owned or leased for use by clients, as well as providing internet connectivity, typically in a data center.

Web hosts can also provide datacenter space and connectivity to the Internet for other servers located in their data center, called colocation.

After created an new website (website is designed and developed as per the needs ) than we want to connect the website page to the world wide web through internet or to host the website.

For this we need an space for our website in the web server and make the site to live.

How to choose the wright web host provider or services:

The following are the some of the important criteria which an website customer want to know as follows,

Data Storage (Disc Space):-

It is the one of the most important criteria affored by the service provider where we stored our content ( web page ).

The website need an disc space to store the data.According to the options or schemes provided by web hosting company we can choose the disc space.

Mostly now adays all the service provider will providing a unlimited disc space for storing the datas.

It is not uncommon for web hosting companies to offer unlimited data storage. More often than not unlimited data storage comes with hidden charges once you have exceeded “normal site usage.”

Bandwidth:

Bandwidth is your network connection speed, not the data transfer speed. Think of traffic on a four-lane highway. When you have ahigh bandwidth connection, multiple users can experience your website at the same time, just like the highway with all of the lanes open.

A low-bandwidth connection can be the equivalent to construction during rush-hour if too many users are on your site at once.

Web hosts offer a variety of levels of bandwidth, and you can determine which level is most cost-effective for you based on the content on your site, traffic, and how users are expected to interact with your site (play videos, look at pictures, buy products, etc.).

Up-Time:

Obviously you want people to be able to access your website as much as possible, therefore having a web host with the least amount of downtime rates is ideal.

Most web hosting companies will claim a 99.9% up-time rate. Often a “scheduled downtime for maintenance” is not included in their overall downtime percentage simply because it is scheduled.

Support

A teller technical/customer support team is essential in a web hosting company.

Multiple Domains and Websites:

Most major web hosting companies allow you to create and build Multiple Domain Names and actual websites under one account, since it has become a fairly common practice for both individuals and organizations to do so.

Evaluate what kind of CPU requirements you will need, how much disc space you will want, and what your expected traffic will be like on all of your websites to determine which web hosting plan for multiple domains/websites will best meet your needs.

Other important features of web hosting providers are:-

SSL certification

Bachups

Email features

control panel

etc..
