By Jamie Prescokt

If you own a company, then you know that the website is very important and also that said website has to be of high quality. That means you will have to keep up with the competitors and ensuring that your website is also setup with a layout that is easy to use. Many cell phone companies do that and you can see how the websites of these companies are all very similar and user friendly.

If you would also like to have a website like that and your current site does not meet those standards, then just look at what the other businesses are doing in regards to their websites and follow their example. You will sometimes realize that your knowledge of web design is not enough to create such a site, but that can be solved by hiring a professional to create your website. This is more expensive than doing it yourself, but you have to weigh the benefits with the expenses and see which benefits you most.

The security of your website is very important since there are many things a hacker will be just waiting to take advantage of. To do this you need to keep up with development methods. Something called CSS, every so often, get released and then changes to your site should have the changes incorporated in it.

They stop updates for older versions and here is where the hackers get in, so you need take care of the security issue.

Browser compatibility is also a big concern that you need to worry yourself with. It's not just Netscape Communicator and Internet Explorer on the market anymore. Now you have Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and a ton of other different browsers that you need to worry about. They all interpret the website code differently, and you need to make sure that the code is adjusted for each of these browsers. If you do not, then your website will be a mess when it opens in one of the alternative browsers.

Nowadays there are also mobile browsers to take into consideration. The number of people connecting from hot spots and with their mobile devices, like the cell phone, iPod or portable game system, is constantly increasing. You definitely want these systems to be able to read and display your website and that means you will have to setup a configuration that will display in a lower resolution. It is also a good idea to invest some money in a .mobi domain so that your website will be available for all mobile users.

These are just a few suggestions to make your website as user friendly as possible. You need to experiment and simply play around and eventually find what you want for your website and for your business customers. - 16890
