Great Web site Design Tips For Your Site
Technology moves at a rapid pace and keeping up can be frustrating. The fact is that a company
without a website is missing out on many customers that they won't be able to get any other way, so
implementing technology in your favor is important. Read on to find some techniques and secrets
which will help you get into the game.
Keep the size of your web pages small. A lot of modern web pages are full of unnecessary elements,
including huge images, Flash advertising, and lots of AJAX. Many people, especially those in rural
areas and other countries with less-developed internet infrastructure, don't have high-speed Internet
and will have to wait forever for a large page to load.
Use a style sheet to stay consistent. There is almost nothing more disconcerting than being sent to a
page that looks at nothing like the site you were just looking at, even if it is concerning the same
subject. Style sheets help with saving your formatting, so each page looks similar to the rest.
Avoid cramming page elements together. Each section of your page should be naturally separated
from each other, as this makes the purpose of each section more clear. The easiest way to separate
sections is by using DIVs, but there are other ways, including absolute positioning (not
recommended), the CSS margin command, and floats.
Know your subject thoroughly. It is very important that you conduct plenty of research about your
subject if you are thinking about using the site as a blog. Giving your customers unclear or false
information will only cause you to lose readers. Knowing your subject is very important when having
a blog.
When designing your website, you should utilize cascading style sheets, or CSS. These style sheets
can be applied to every webpage on your website, and will ensure that the user experience is
consistent throughout the website. They are also effective for making quick design changes to your
website due to the fact that you only need to change the style sheet as opposed to making alterations
on every webpage.
You can use a What You See Is What You Get code editor (WYSIWYG), but using a text editor such as
Notepad, gives you full flexibility when editing your code. With a platform, you design the page and
then use the platform's generated code. However, if you wish to ensure that the code is free of
errors, and be directly involved in the process, utilizing a text editor is a better option.
Learning some basic HTML will help you add some interesting extras to your site. For example, you
http://www.heigou.com.my/ can have words that follow your cursor, or a banner that flashes
important information. Make sure to change the colors and fonts occasionally, so you seem more
involved with the web site and its design.
In the "About Us" area of your site, write some good content about who you are. Many sites use very
boring, trite ideas on these pages. Try to write this content in an entertaining way. Aim to give
visitors a small glimpse of your personal background. Demonstrate how you began web page design,
the people who inspired you to do this, and what your business goals are.
When selecting a domain name, it's important that you're creative. A big part of web page design is
having a site with a good, on-topic name. Having a catchy, relevant name will make people
remember your website just as much as any design features would. Don't think that a name isn't an
important feature.
For the best layout, make sure that the colors you choose for the background and font are restful to
the eyes. Choosing moving backgrounds or neon colors can make it hard for people to read, and they
may navigate to another web site. However, include pictures to break up your content and make the
site complete.
If you expect many people to contribute to the content of the website, incorporating a content
management system (CMS) into the design of the website might be a good idea. A CMS will make it
easier for everyone to add to and update the content without needing a high level of technical
knowledge. These systems are easy to use, and can make publishing content on the website much
more efficient.
Before you start building your first site, you need to learn about as many successful techniques as
possible. Becoming better educated on website design is the best way to build a high-quality site.
Without a working understanding of website development, your site will look totally unprofessional.
You need to realize that building a website is going to take longer than you originally expect it will.
Let's say that you believe you can get a site done in three weeks. Well, by the time you design it,
load all your pages, test, make your tweaks, and ultimately finalize, you could be looking at months.
Make it easy to search your site from every page on your site, especially the homepage. By doing
this you will help to increase your site's usability, and allows easy access to any information that a
visitor might wish to see. These searches are easy to add -- and worth the time.
Make sure you have a good idea about what types of
pages you want to add to your website. Site design is
only easy if you plan ahead thoroughly. If you need a
contact page, a sales page, various landing pages, etc,
make sure you add them all early on. You can always edit as needed as the site starts to take shape.
If you're having any doubts about your ability to create a great site, you can always scale back the
vision. A site doesn't need a forum and a chat room and a videos page and a miscellaneous section.
You can make do just fine with only a few options. It's great to dream big, but you need to be a
realist.
A clean PC is a happy PC when you're building a site. Some software programs will use up a lot of
disk space, so having junk files on your PC will bog you down. Besides, it's hard to remain neat and
organized if you have files strewn all over the place. Keep your PC free of junk files and clutter.
A great web page design tip that everyone should use is to do your research before you decide to
pick a web hosting service. Take a look at all the options available and weigh them against the cost
to find the best web hosting service for any and all your needs.
You've read the advice here http://www.webdesign.org/ and are ready to put it into action, so get
ready to design your site! Start by sketching out a design and making lists of the content you'll need
and you'll have your website online in no time.
In conclusion, website development is something that you are interested in learning more about but
you often find that you do not make the time to do anything about it. As mentioned earlier, you have
just read some of the best tips around, organized in an easy to digest format. Use this expert advice
and become a great web designer.
