Everything to know about Website Design


Now you may think that web design can sometimes seem like a bit of a challenge, especially if you have never done it before. But to be honest with you, as long as you know what your doing, (well at least the basics) ~} its not as difficult as you may think.

Website design can be tricky business for anyone who hasn't done it before. Starting out can be tricky, as there is no way to do it! Whether your creating a website to share your opinion, advertise and offer a service, or even to sell things online, it can be hard to get started.

 To be honest, it's easy if you know how.

 Now I can't really teach you from scratch how set up a website, that's something where you will need to find someone to teach you in person. Then once you learn the basics of how to set up a website, designing it so it functions properly, attracts users, and then does not disappoint those users is something you will need to know how to do.

 Your going to need to Website design that looks good, does not annoy users, gives the user what they want from your website, and will make them want to come back, not just simply leave. There are many things you will need to keep in mind when thinking about how to do this, as the littlest of things can drive users off your site.


 Here are my personal tips that will help you design a website that will attract users, and then keep them there.

 The website you design should be simplistic, and easy to use.

  • Users will usually just scan your websites for keywords related to what they are looking for, so you need to make sure these are viable easily.
  • Make sure all text is not in large lumps, or in too smaller lumps, as these will annoy users as it is hard to read.
  • Make sure all links are live, and lead to a real web page. There's nothing more annoying than clicking a link thinking the content you want will be on that page, and then the page not working.
  • Make sure your website works when java script and flash are not installed. A lot of people do not use the features, so will not be able to view your website.
  • All pages of your website should load in at least four seconds. Obviously this will depend on your internet speed, but this time is based on the average UK broadband speed of four meg.
  • Never type anything on your web page in all caps lock. It is hard to read, and will annoy a lot of people.

 These are just a few of the many things you to keep in mind when designing a website. Just remember, test regularly and often when designing a site. This will make sure it works, and make sure people like it!

I Hopefully these tips will help you in your website design!
