Essential 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."
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.
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.
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.
The "call to action" (CTA) is considered one of the most essential parts of a
website as it encourages visitors to take action by guiding them on what
they really want them to do.
Footer refers to the content area at the bottom of every page that consists
of a website.
