This is a common mantra we hear a lot in Zanzibar and Tanzania<\/span>; \u201cA website is not important anymore\u2026Social Media is more important now right?\u201d Wrong!!<\/span><\/p>

Social Media is important but it has not replaced the need for a well-designed website. An outdated, confusing or broken website will hurt your brand and your business. We are not saying it might hurt your brand, we\u2019re saying it will hurt it.<\/p>

So how can you get a website that succeeds? You can create an awesome website by absolutely nailing your web design from the beginning. But what is web design, actually? Read on if you want to learn what web design is all about, why it matters and how to get it right.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What is web design?<\/h2>

\"\"<\/h2>

Web design is what creates the overall look and feel when you\u2019re using a website. It\u2019s the process of planning, building the elements of your website and putting it all together, from functionality, structure and layout to images, colours, fonts and graphics.<\/p>

Web design has numerous components that work together to create the finished \u2018experience\u2019 of a website, including graphic design, user experience design, interface design, search engine optimization (SEO) and content creation.<\/p>

In Tanzania and East Africa we have noted that the Tourism sector is still extremely blas\u00e9 about Search Engine Optimisation. Many businesses, tour companies and hotels believe that just having a website is all that is needed. We often ask CEO\u2019s and business owners, to type into Google the phrase they think a potential customer will use to find their website on the internet. \u201cBest Hotel in Zanzibar\u201d, \u201cRecommended Safaris Tanzania\u201d, or \u201cTop Tours in East Africa\u201d. How close to the top of the search results do their businesses appear? If it is not on the front page, then it matters not how beautiful their website is\u2026 it will not be seen! SEO is an important element to website design and development.<\/p>

\"\"All these elements combined determine how a website looks, feels and works on various devices. If you want to find out more about the whole process just give us a call at Simply IT and we will be happy to explain the process and how it fits for your business.<\/p>

Web design is different from web development, which is the actual coding that makes a website work. When you\u2019re building a website, you need both web design and web development. Although you can find web designers who are also web and UX (User Experience) developers, these are distinct skill sets. We have a team of seven in Simply IT to cover all the elements of website design and website development.<\/p>

Here\u2019s what your website will look like in its earliest stages:<\/p>
