News Style Web Sites
With the use of RSS syndication it is possible to have the latest news appear on your web site without having to manually update every time. An example of an RSS syndication is the flash style reader display the latest SEO news from Web Ranking Consultants found on the bottom of the left column of this page.
In addition to having the front page news displayed on your web site you can have archived news to look up on your news web site as well.
Many of the top news agencies have links to hook up RSS readers to display the news on your web site. You can choose from many different topics and pick the ones that fit for your web site.
What do people look for in a News Web Site?
People that visit News Web Sites generally want to get the latest news and history. This means that they want the ability to read news that will attract their attention and have the ability to research past news articles for various reasons. One example would be to do research for a school paper or examine the trends in a certain market or business.
How can you create a News Web Site Design that gives what the visitor is looking for?
As previously mentioned you can hook up an RSS feed that automatically displays the news without having to constantly update your web site. For past news and articles you can use a content module to hook up to a database that stores all of the past news articles. Credibility is very important for visitors to your web site and visitors perceive news articles as more credible is their are references and external links to back up the news story.
You can draw people into your web site using the News headline in a bold and prominent area of the page to entice people to click through to read more. After all who knows more about getting people's attention and marketing than the major news agencies?
What if I want to Display my own News?
If you want to display your own news then it is recommended that you have the web site set up for easy updates through the use of your browser or software. The up-to-date news should be displayed in a prominent position of the web page. The web site should be designed so that the categories and subcategories of different news items be displayed along the left side which is the second most viewed area of the page. The web site can be designed in such a way that when a visitor moves his cursor over a headline a short description of the article can be displayed. This would make navigating your site easier and give the visitor a more pleasurable experience.
Another idea that you can use is giving the visitor an option to sign up for an email subscription for a various topic. This way you have more direct contact with the visitor and the ability to notify your visitor about new things at your web site and/or promotions that you may be running.
