There are many ways, serious companies can make a website successful when they need to do real business online.If you are one of those CEOs, Marketing Managers or even owner of a Company which is not online yet, perhaps you might take this article seriously.

It is a fact that fancy websites don't make sales, we always say so. In GrafiKa MarKeting, we believe there is much more to creating a quality website that its look. You must create a website that will be of interest to your target market and make your customers want to visit your website again. Your site should lead your visitors to take the action you desire.

So let´s talk about 10 +1 items you must verify your Development company will consider creating your new website.

The first step will be to target your website for one specific niche and this is a "must" since even companies owners don´t know where to jot. Let's say you are designing a website about dogs, so everything within your website should relate to dogs but you must think about your geographic location and breeds of dogs perhaps.

You must also pick the most relevant keyword phrase out for each webpage. A keyword phrase is two-to-four words that best describe your page. Let's say your webpage is about 'selling dogs,' so your best keyword phrase would be 'buy dogs and puppies'. You should use your keyword phrase a few times within your webpage, as this will enable the search engines to determine what the website is about. This is a basic step to make a website successful.

It is very important also, that you use the HTML H1 heading tag with your main title at the top of your webpage. Plus, use the HTML H2 tags for your sub-titles. You might recall some search engines place relevance on the text displayed with heading tags.

You may want to use CSS style sheets to display the heading tags in the font style and size you prefer.

Including META tags between the HEAD tags of your webpage is another step to help make a website successful. These META tags help search engines to know what keywords are relevant to the webpage and they are also used to tell SE what the webpage is about and many search engines will display this description within the search results. Always make sure you proof read and spell check your webpages for errors. It is also very important that your webpage doesn't have any broken images or links.

As soon as your design company has your layout proposals, please consider that distracting backgrounds will make the text hard to read. Experts believe that "a good rule of thumb is to just use common sense and keep your website simple" (Shelley Lowery, Web-Source.net, 2009). This by itself is a great way to help make a website successful.

Now, it's time to talk about if you're using animated graphics. It is important that you use them sparingly. For example, flashes sometimes are very annoying and may prevent your visitors from returning to your website in the future. As I said before, here in GrafiKa MarKeting we believe there is much more to creating a quality website that its look. The layout for your website should be the same on each page and if you make it different, your visitors will become confused. This also will make your website appear to be unprofessional.

You can also make your website successful an interactive one. This can be done by including a targeted forum that complements your website, a form in which they can subscribe to an ezine, a feedback form to enable them to give their opinion, or an informative blog in which visitors can comment.

It is very important to include good navigational links on every page so your visitors should be able to get to any section within your website within few clicks (we recommend no more than four clicks away).

And as soon as you are about to launch your new website, please confirm you include the following webpages:

• About - Tell your visitors about you and your company.
• Privacy - Let your visitors know what you do with their personal information (for example with their email address).
• Terms and Conditions - This page should be displayed on your website for your own protection.
• Site Map - Help search engines index your website more easily.
