These Are The Mistakes You Should Avoid As A Webmaster by D34lw4p(m): 12:20pm On Oct 13, 2016

"A webmaster is someone who
creates and manages the content
and organization of a website,
manages the computer server
and technical programming
aspects of a website or does
both." - Techtarget


This article appeared first on NCTForum! Today, I will be listing out the mistakes you should thoroughly avoid as a webmaster.

#1 - Bad Domain Names
When choosing a domain name for a website, it's very essential to pick something simple and easily memorisable. I've always informed my students to pick a domain name that can be called over to someone on the phone and the person at the other end can easily grab the texts in it. E.g nct.com.ng, facebook.com, nairaland.com, olx.com this are very simple domain names that can help your site grow unlike: nigeriaeducationalinstituteofeducation.com, myhookingandatingnetwork.com this are bad domains and should be avoided by all means.

When choosing a domain name it is very important your domain sounds like what your site is offering. You can't say you're an entertainment blogger and you've something like. technigeria.com that's insane! It will only shows you don't know what you're doing.

#2 - Poor Search Engines Optimization Skills
As a webmaster, you must fully understand what SEO is and how to make a site optimised for it, though a site can never be fully optimized but can atleast go far above average! This won't only shows you know what you're doing it also automatically stamp you as a professional in your field.

You can't just create a site and leave it like that, you need to make use of the right settings, search engine visibility is very essential! People goes to the search engine to search for informations and if your site can't be found within the first 3 result on search engine, it's certain you will get less search engine traffic.

#3 - Poor WebDesign Skills
There's a different between you writing a good code and having a good user interface, your website users don't care about your backend, they're only concern about you having a simple display that can fit to any device screen! So many webmasters claims to be good at what they do but their designs are very poor ones that is not understandable by other people except them. Put your users in mind when developing your project, you're not building the website for yourself alone.

#4 - Poor Website Security
When developing a project to be used by the general public, it's very important you fix every bugs you know of, also make research on other bugs that will need to be fixed!
Your forms, where you need to take in only numbers if you're also allowing letters, you should know that's an error. Where it's necessary you validate users input, you should clean it the right way to avoid hackers stealing vital informations from your database.
