  • For Web Design Students

    I wanted to extend some advice to other web design students out there who are struggling.  I am a grad student and one of my most difficult courses involves using dreamweaver templates as a website builder.  I focused my site on buying and selling so I utilized the shopping cart function of dreamweaver extensions. While we are graded on the usability and likability of our websites, we are also graded on our method of driving people to look at it.  I studied up on SEO keyword training which I found to be the most beneficial tool for this particular class.  Basically the training teaches you how to link certain keywords that people might type in during a Google search to divert them to your site. 

     

    With multiple pages on my website, finding an array of keywords was not a hard task. Another benefit of driving more and more people to your website is that they will be happy to leave you feedback.  On my last project, I added a critiquing extension from dreamweaver that enabled users to tell me what they did or did not like about the site.  From their comments, I made some adjustments which quite possibly raised my grade from a C to an A.  When it comes to website building, the people using it are your best teachers.  Driving more people to your site is the best way you can ensure you are doing everything to make it the best it can be.
