A Few Simple Website Design Techniques That Work 
It is not easy to do all activities having to do with computers or the Internet on our own. However, 
many have tools necessary for building websites. Continue reading to learn how to build stunning 
pages and more. If you are ready to learn more about designing websites, read on. 
Pay attention to color combinations in your design. You have to be certain that your text will be 
readable on top of the background colors you use. Using dark colored text on a light colored 
background generally ensures that the text is easy for visitors to read. If you aren't sure if your color 
scheme works well, show it off to a friend for some feedback. 
Make sure all links on your website are working properly before you publish your site. Few things 
are as frustrating as clicking a link only to land on an error page. Either use a program to check for 
broken links or check each link manually. 
Keep your site fresh and up-to-date, and promptly remove any outdated content. You will lose the 
attention and credibility of your readers if the promotional offer on your page expired months ago. 
People want the most accurate information available, and by leaving outdated information online 
you're showing you don't really care what they want. Review your website often, to remove anything 
which isn't updated with the latest content. 
Keyword research is important. Although you want to mainly focus on providing relevant content to 
your viewers, it is important to first establish a healthy customer base. To ensure the success of a 
website, there must be a good understanding of the keywords that will attract visitors to the site 
through search engines. 
Make sure that all the files on your website are small in size. You need these small file sizes 
regardless of the overall design of your site. This is because the size of your website's files directly 
affects its loading time. You want your website to load as quickly as possible. You should remember 
also that some visitors may not use an Internet connection that is high speed. Take the time to test 
your site, and make sure that various connections speeds receive quick load times. 
A well-written "About Us" page is worth the effort. So many sites have dull, boring information on 
these pages. Make it a little more exciting! Provide some insight for your visitors; tell them how and 
why you built your site and what goals you want it to reach for your company. 
If you end up with designer's block, look around the internet. Many websites can help you get the 
motivation you need. Look for websites that appeal to your sense of design and figure out how you 
can improve on those things you like. Expand on those appealing aspects to help you build your own 
website. Make sure you improve upon the ideas that you like. 
As soon as you finish this article, you can build a website of your very own with a free website or 
demo service. You can master the basics in no time. From there, your skills will get better and 
better. Just put into practice what you have learned from the above article.
