As of June 2011, over 346 million websites existed on the Internet. And if you want to talk about the number of individual web pages or web addresses, the number is significantly larger—like 1 trillion unique URLs on the web as far back as three years ago, according to Google. What does it all mean? That there is massive amount of content out there. The natural question for any business with an Internet presence is how to stand out among the crowd. The answer is simple: quality content. But what isn’t so simple is the realization that content development should come before website creation.
Imagine you had to write some song lyrics. What would be easier: writing lyrics into the confines of pre-existing music, or just simply writing what comes to mind with no restrictions? Obviously the latter would be the easier of the two choices. The same is true for your website content. That’s why content writing should come first: because it’s easier to design a site around your content than it is to try and fit your content into a pre-existing site that can’t handle it. For example, you may have content that’s perfect for sidebars or hover-over pop up windows. Better to create those elements for the content, rather than program them into your design and then struggle to find copy to fill them. Keeping content first keeps you free to say what you need to say without restrictions. And when you’re ready to develop your website, it’s best to choose styles and design elements that work well with your existing content.
That’s where CA Website Creation comes in. A division of Content and Article Writing, CA Website Creation is one of the few content-based web design companies on the web. This means that they design your website after your content writers have created your top-notch web copy, and help you develop and design a site that showcases it best. Even if you have an existing website, CA Website Creation can offer design modifications that will help you incorporate better elements such as sidebars, pop-up windows, additional pages, and different page layouts—all from a content-based perspective.
And if you’re thinking that music is sometimes just as important as lyrics, that’s only true in songwriting. When it comes to websites, content is always king. And why is that, anyway? Because people want information above all else. That’s why they’re searching, and that’s what the search engines are dedicated to giving them. Sure, websites that are artfully designed with the latest technologies are interesting to look at and fun to navigate—but just remember that Craigslist is one of the most popular websites in the world.
