1.Web based Design
Not yet formally set standards by which one is a good presentation, but in
practice has crystallized a certain criteria that make a good web based
presentation, and user friendly. It needs to improve business and needs to be
viewed as a way to communicate with consumers. Some of the things you
should consider when making the web based presentation are as follows:
Loading time
is the time required for a visitor at a speed of 28,800 bps load the home
page of the presentation. While some have high-speed access to the
Internet, it is always important to keep in mind this lowest limit. There was
an unequivocal relationship between speed page load and percentage
drop of potential visitors. According to a survey conducted by BCG (BostonConsulting Group), the minimum number of potential visitors, only 7% of
them, would retreat from the examination if needed to download it for 7
seconds or less, 30% of them would retreat if the time is 8 seconds and
70% would retreat if the required time is more than 12 seconds. To avoid
unnecessarily long loading pages, it is advisable to avoid excessive use of
GIF and JPG files or their reduction to the optimum level. It is also
advisable to reduce the number of colors (pictures can look beautiful even
when they contain a palette of only 16 colors) or just avoid the big picture.
Should be limited to 20kb Home Page and avoided a great logo or
animation. It is better to use this space to provide useful information,because one presentation and should serve to do just that.
Navigation
The ease of navigation (it can be linear or nonlinear and these types are
used depending on which is the aim of the presentation) is very important
and it is necessary to include access to key areas of presentation on each
side and that the user can obtain the desired by using maximum of three
mouse clicks.
Visibility
The presentation should be as lucid. It is advisable to avoid home page
that indefinitely." Although the site visitors which wants some
information they are going to read and interpret the same to the end.
3
7/30/2019 Management Information System Ass. 2
4/18
Home page should not be longer than 3 sizes 14 "monitor. Much more
useful, instead of prolongers home page, visitors offer links to other
pages.
Functionality vs. Design
Pay attention to the functionality and design. Web layout and visualpresentation should reflect the professional nature of the presentation.
Each presentation can be functional; however, the successful presentation
has a very attractive appearance, which leaves the visitors the impression
that we are talking about something really is quality.
Linguistic style and quality of information
A professionally done web presentation should also provide information to
visitors on the plain, universally recognizable way. It is necessary to payattention to the style of language and the quality of information that
visitors provide. They must always be checked. Also, we should pay
attention to the spelling mistakes. There are a huge number of websites
that contain errors of this type. The appearance of the text speaks of
professionalism (or lack thereof), paying attention to detail and
commitment to continuous improvement.
Graphics, typography and color
It is necessary to equalize the graphics, typography and color. However,
when making a presentation is necessary to pay attention to the use of
color (due to different symbolism in different areas) and fonts (you need to
use it more accessible for the safety of fonts that all users will be able to
clearly see the text).
New Technology
While opportunities become virtually unlimited design, it is advisable to
minimize the effects of multimedia to a minimum, for several reasons:
using lots of graphic elements, the space that could be used for
informational content; many colors can distract visitors with content that
is for it really is vital; lot of sound, animation and graphics will slow down
the loading of pages, which, as noted earlier, may provide the potential
4

5/18
visitors to give up some of the presentation. And finally, it is a newer
technology used; it will be less number of audience because not all users
are able to use the new technology as soon as it occurs.
Updated it
It is advisable to constantly refresh the content, i.e. the update. This
presentation suggests the visitors to keep returning to them knowing that
each time waiting for something new and interesting. Should not be
"bothered" enough is just one ask for their permission.
Welcome
Avoid phrases like "Welcome to our site" and repeating the names of firms
and exaggerated ostentation. Home Page, as well as all other pages of the
site, you need to start text is provocative, appealing and sends a message
about the content contained on the site. Titles and introductory texts, the
visitor has to say what it is that if he gets offered to read the contents.
I vs. You
Avoid excessive use of words such as "we, us, me, my," and called the
company. These words refuse visitors. Far away but instead it is moreadvisable to use words such as "you, you". At one site should be on every
"I" pronouns to come at least 4-5 "you" pronouns.
About Us
On the Home page in no way should be available data on firms, its
location or owner. Such information should be put in a special section,
"About Us" (About Us) and such data will read only those visitors who
really want to know. No need to get that kind of information found on theHome page.
Web awards
Also, it should avoid logos and banners that represent the obtained Web
awards. Most of these awards are dubious credibility, and visitors do not
5
7/30/2019 Management Information System Ass. 2
6/18
mean much. They have no practical purpose, and given the fact that only
takes place on the site, it would be far better to take advantage of the
information that visitors will really mean.
Hit counter
should be avoided hit counter. These things are very much out of fashion
and often annoying and distracting. Also, counters are especiallybecoming useless because most visitors really does not matter what the
alleged number of visitors to the site where they are located.
External Links
On the home page should be avoided in the external links. It is as if they
are in the office or shop, a door leading to the competition. If the links
have already been there, should they be on the page that was "buried"
deep within the site, so that when visitors come to see it, but the mostimportant pages.
Faulty Links
If there are links to the presentation, it is regularly checked their validity.
Faulty links give the impression of professionalism site owners and annoy
visitors.
Contact
if the presentation of a page of contact addresses, and it has become
totally unthinkable that does not exist, be sure to give complete
information about addresses and contact persons. Visitors must, above all,
trusted source. This cannot be achieved if the company strives to remain
anonymous. For this reason, it is recommended: instead use postal Street
and number, instead of voice mail and leave your phone number, fax
number and specify the name of a contact person. And be sure to write
your e-mail address, not e-mail your webmaster. If you pay someone by e-
mail, it is advisable to respond as soon as possible. Otherwise, the personwho has contacted you will be seen as unprofessional.
Images missing
Avoid missing images. It is not a rare case that even the professional Web
6
7/30/2019 Management Information System Ass. 2
7/18
sites often happens that the image appears instead of just an empty
space.
Under Construction / in the phase of
It is advisable to apply a presentation searchers but it could not do if she
is not completely finished. On a professional website in no way be allowedto find a notice such as "Under Construction" / "under construction" on any
site. A small number of visitors will come back later if you see a notice of
this type, and is therefore better not to have a site but have not even
finished. Of what use is it the visitor, except that it annoys and wasting his
time? Each page that is located on the site must have some purpose.
Browser
Opportunities Internet readers (browser) is distinctive because it isnecessary to adjust the presentation to all readers. It is also necessary to
check the presentation looks at which resolution screen.
FAQ
It is very important to identify the most common questions visitors ask. It
is recommended that the presentation is a special page called FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions) with answers to such questions in order to
eliminate the very beginning all the standard concerns of visitors.
Sitemap
If, despite the best navigation visitors still have problems, it is advisable to
offer them a site map to make it easier to find what interests them. This is
especially important if you navigate to the presentation is not the best
regulated.
Multilingualism
it is recommended that in addition to the use of the national language and
English yet at least, because otherwise the number of users will be limited
7

8/18
to the national.
Originality
Do not copy content from other Web sites. Thus it may be no reason to
violate copyright law, and it is always better to be genuine.
Help
and finally, if visitors do not understand some of the services that it offers
the site, you need to provide them with help, so it is recommended that
they contain a page that has a purpose.

As you can see analyzing the web site of Mashable Company we found out
with respect of our criterias that they have a very well organized web site.
There is a few criteria which they dont have as the I vs. You which you
can see the described sentences at the top of this research paper (look page
4). Also there is no Hit Counter mainly for our group is important that
every web site especially this one should has the basic hit counter reason is
that if you see the number of visitor on that page if it is small you will not
trust to that web page but if it is a lot like in our case (7 million per monthvisiting the Mashable.com) than surely we can trust them. Also the bad thing
is that they dont have a Multilingualism which is important for those
who dont understand very well the language in this case English. Also there
is a good thing that they dont have any faulty links, image missing, or under
constructing process. Everything is working properly with good quality of
organizing, controlling, graphics, and support solutions.
