This will generally become your page list, but some pages may be merged or expanded as required. You will certainly need to include the location of your Phuket conference venue, a list of the keynote speakers (including their bios), details of organising committee, registration info, contact details, the schedule, FAQs and a call to action, explaining why people need to attend your event. Once you\u2019ve decided which of these elements require their own page, you can map it out to figure out the menu structure.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-attachment-id=\"676\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/5-tips-for-better-powerpoint-presentations\/architect-businesswoman-composition-313691\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/architect-businesswoman-composition-313691.jpg?fit=800%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,534\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"architect-businesswoman-composition-313691\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/architect-businesswoman-composition-313691.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/architect-businesswoman-composition-313691.jpg?fit=800%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/architect-businesswoman-composition-313691.jpg?resize=800%2C534&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Tips for presentation, PowerPoint Tips\" class=\"wp-image-676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/architect-businesswoman-composition-313691.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/architect-businesswoman-composition-313691.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/architect-businesswoman-composition-313691.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/architect-businesswoman-composition-313691.jpg?resize=420%2C280&amp;ssl=1 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><p><strong>Sketch a wireframe<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>The next step is to turn your map into a basic design. This is called a wireframe because most of your design will consist of empty boxes that you\u2019ll later fill with text and images. Ideally, you want the most important pages at the top and to the left of your design, since that\u2019s how most people navigate web pages. Attention spans on the internet tend to be quite short, so you need to make sure you\u2019re getting to the point quickly and immediately funnelling them towards the registration page or submissions page.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Design clear calls to action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>The \u2018call to action\u2019 is one of the most important elements of a conference website. It\u2019s a prompt for users to take the action that you want them to take, directing them to the part of the site that you want them to get to. Typically, this will be the registration or submission pages. Having more than one call to action tends to make the message muddled, so it\u2019s best to stick to just one goal. Remember to include a sense of urgency in your call, too, such as including a clear deadline.<\/p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-attachment-id=\"675\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/5-tips-for-better-powerpoint-presentations\/adults-agenda-brainstorming-1451449\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adults-agenda-brainstorming-1451449.jpg?fit=800%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"800,534\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"adults-agenda-brainstorming-1451449\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adults-agenda-brainstorming-1451449.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adults-agenda-brainstorming-1451449.jpg?fit=800%2C534&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adults-agenda-brainstorming-1451449.jpg?resize=800%2C534&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"PowerPoint Presentation, Presentation Tips\" class=\"wp-image-675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adults-agenda-brainstorming-1451449.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adults-agenda-brainstorming-1451449.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adults-agenda-brainstorming-1451449.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/phuketmeetingconference.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adults-agenda-brainstorming-1451449.jpg?resize=420%2C280&amp;ssl=1 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><p><strong>Work on SEO<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another new website on the internet is generally going to find itself very low down in the Google search results, unless you apply a bit of search engine optimisation.
