enough to give you a good idea
of your layout.

6. The Dos in Web Designing
1. Make it easier to use – Most Internet surfers have short attention spans
just like two year old child. Don’t make your visitors think too hard, wait
long or read too much.
2. Capture your user’s Attention –Web users usually don’t take enough time
carefully read and view everything that is on the page.That’s why it is the
best to capture their attention in very short time span, direct them to what
is most important or attractive on your page.
3. Use high quality content –Web users appreciate high quality and credible
content.
4. Use topography wisely – this is one of the most powerful tools available
to web designer. Picking the right typeface could make or break your
design and can lead to success or failure of your website
5. Try it out for a test drive –You can never know if your web page does what
it’s supposed to do unless you try it out
