  1. The Basic Anatomy of a Web Page When designing a web page, details are not just details, they are the building blocks that make up an attractive design. A good web design includes many features and elements that make the user experience seamless and make the website attractive. Learning about these elements, features, and functions will help you understand why you love some websites and hate others. You'll also learn about what you need to incorporate to build an intuitive and efficient web page. Here's everything you need to know about the basic anatomy of a web page. 1. Title

  2. As the name suggests, a header is located at the top of the web page. This is the first thing people see before scrolling down the web page. This placement makes the header a strategically important element of the website as it provides users with the main navigation of the website, allowing them to dissect and scan the website in seconds before going to the main page. 2. Footnote Located at the bottom of a webpage, the footer marks the end of the website. Therefore, it usually includes important links like contact page, site map, credits to website creators, subscription field or button, badges, testimonials, brand identity marks, terms and conditions. 3. Site structure To better understand, if you are a website copywriter, consider the website structure as a directory with nested subfolders or a tree diagram. The home page is located near the head of the site structure, below the header. Therefore, it is very important that you create a site structure diagram before designing the website, as it helps organize the content and makes navigation easier. You should have at least three nested levels or tiers below the home page. However, when designing a website, keep in mind that the more complex your website becomes, the harder it will be for users to retain information. So, create a simple website structure, yet easily provide all the information the users need. 4. CTA button

  3. A call-to-action (CTA) button is an important part of a website because it encourages users to take a specific action—buy your products or services. An effective and engaging CTA drives conversions (subscribe, contact, purchase, etc.) for a specific screen or page. In short, a CTA button tells your customers to invest in your brand, resulting in increased sales. 5. Main Navigation Featuring five to eight page links to the most essential website pages, the main navigation is a horizontal row-like structure that you might often see on a webpage. Automatically highlighted when a user is in a particular section, the main navigation is designed to be clear and visual. However, when creating backlinks, make sure that the web page does not look cluttered. 6. Secondary Navigation Secondary navigation is the second tier of a website's structure, referring to the web pages below the top level of the site. Unlike the static nature of main navigation, secondary navigation can vary depending on the website page you are browsing. It is usually placed on the left side of the screen or under the main navigation. 7. Page Titles Your website's page title should use HTML's H1 tag as it plays an important role in your website's search engine ranking. Head of Web Page Developers have determined that most users spend less than thirty seconds at the top of a website, so the page title must appeal to them—relevant and catchy. 8. Banner and Hero Images

  4. Hero and banner images can be defined as large graphics (pictures) that appear at the top of the page. They are combined with the aim of grabbing the attention of the visitors. Therefore, it should include attractive images or videos of your brand's products and services. You can use sliders or carousels to make the web page more interactive. 9. Embedded Videos Although not a fundamental part of a website, embedding a video can improve your website's overall ranking and attract customers. Being one of the top digital marketing trends, videos help you get more traffic while bringing your webpage to life. Final thoughts Although the components of your website's development are more complex than what we've covered here, understanding the basic anatomy of a web page will give you an edge when it comes to effectively communicating your needs with your web copywriting service provider. Doing so will ultimately help you and your web designer create an intuitive website that attracts customers and leads to lead generation.
