Portfolio - Website Study

A House in Normandy
(www.ahouseinnormandy.co.uk)

ahouseinnormandy.co.uk snapshot A holiday home rental web site promoting several homes. The owner of La Grange kindly invited Web Works2 to stay at the house as their guest during the project. The opportunity was taken by Web Works2 to photograph some of the local attractions for inclusion on the web site. Our photographs can be seen on the 'Travel & Excursions' web page.

Initially, the keyword optimisation of the site focused on the words 'home' and 'house' but some time later a mini project to enhance Search Engine exposure introduced the word 'gite' into the site content since research found this to be a popular keyword for France rentals (not surprisingly). Phrases including the word gite are now top of the keyword referrals received by this site - and that means more visitors than before.

Design Goals

The attention span of visitors is much MUCH less than you might think.

You have to grab their attention within 5 seconds and if you caught their interest they may stay a while.

In recognition of visitor behaviour my philosophy on web design is -

Keep it simple - Retain visitors interest by not overloading their mind or vision with complex graphics, clashing colours or complex text.
Navigate fast - Guide your visitors to what they seek within 3 clicks of the mouse.
Make it interactive - Raise visitors interest by giving them something to do.
Give a gift - Web Users have come to expect freebies from web sites, whether it is information, discounts, or product downloads.
