FEATURES OF A WEBSITE

A website refers to a collection of web pages usually grouped and connected together in a
number of different ways. It may also be written as “web site” or simply, a “site.”
Every website is composed of different parts. Each part plays certain roles as to how the entire
repertoire of web pages actually works. Below are the different parts of a website that you need
to understand in order to fully navigate one.

The home page is the opening page which does the job of welcoming the website visitors;
makes them feel they are in the right place; and immediately explains what the website does or
is made for.

Sliders refer to the changing content area that presents ‘slides’ of visual information
including large images, texts, announcements, updates and promotions.

The header is the content area at the top of the website which bears the logo, as well as the
navigation menu. This part likewise includes the taglines, addresses, contact numbers, or
buttons used to sign up and log in.
The navigation menu is the part of the header which bears the links that take or direct
visitors to other parts of the website. This part is sometimes called tabs, links or pages. Some
websites use a secondary navigation menu in cases where a lot of navigation is needed and the
most important links should be highlighted.

The sidebar is the area of the website which displays information that is not part of the
page’s main content like a call to action or links to recent blog posts or social media accounts.

A “call to action” (CTA) is considered one of the most essential parts of a website as it
incites visitors to take action by guiding them on what the visitors really want them to do.

Finally, a footer refers to the content area at the bottom of every page that consists a
website. This usually bears the contact details, maps and links to social media accounts among
others.

Once you are familiar with the different parts of a website, it is now important to learn about the
features that make navigating a website easy. A website must at all times:
1. be easy to navigate;
2. be easy to read;
3. present relevant and up-to-date content;
4. use relevant design (themes, colors and visuals);
5. include a well-presented call to action (CTA);
6. manifest credibility;
7. be clear, simple and can be viewed comfortably; and
8. be mobile-friendly.
