The Social Network Design for Your Business

Sept. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- The social networking giants, which include Myspace, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, have started the race early and have reaped massive financial rewards. This didn't intimidate others to start their own social networking sites. Beyond the monetary gain, some business owners who decide to create their own social networking site are after its control and direction to make it work to its marketing strategy.

You may not be able to duplicate what those social networking giants did, but you can learn from their success.

When creating a social networking site, aim to be better than other sites. With all the social networking sites available right now, it is important to be unique to stand-out from the competition. A well-designed or structured site will keep users coming back.

The social networking site must be visually enticing. If you are creating your social network site from scratch, make sure to choose a simple and great color combination that are pleasing to the eyes. If you are using software with ready-made social network templates, choose the one that doesn't strain the sight. Do not overcrowd the pages. Choose a font style and size that is easy to read.

Registration process must be simple and easy.  Make sure to provide an easy guide for the users. Make use of pop-up boxes or icons to provide detailed instruction. Allow them to find friends upon signup by name, network or email address. Provide them option to import contacts in their email address list. A great way to keep them engaged is to have an email notification upon registration, when receiving a message or when someone writes a comment.

Provide customization functionality to the users so they can change their avatars, place photos, display name, description and privacy setting.

Several other features or functionalities can make your social networking site engaging. Just make sure that it doesn't sacrifice the ease and convenience of use.
