Web Site Design – Top 5 Tips For Beginners
When you start working on the website without having a lot of experience. It could be an overwhelming task to complete (it sure was for me when I just started). Fortunately, there is a lot of information on the subject such as: books, blogs, courses, articles and more. Remember, chances are someone already had the problem you’re experiencing and probably wrote the solution down somewhere. All you got to do is to find it. Easy right?
Well, it is a little more complicated than that because there are a lot of different browsers as well as web designing programs to deal with. And not all of the bugs in the system are fixed. To make things even more complicated internet is constantly changing. Experts always come up with newer web browsers and add new elements to programming languages.
Here are some things I found helpful and I truly hope these will help you as well.
1. Plan ahead. As tempting as it might be to just do it and “see” as you go. It is far from the best strategy. You wouldn’t build a house without first creating a blueprint. Try to imagine and put on paper the look of your web page (if you are good with computer software, create a sample page in the Photoshop). Think about your visitors. What kind of information are they expecting to gain from your web site? What is the purpose of your web site? Who your web site is intended for? Who are the visitors on your web site?
2. Pay attention to the details. Small elements are crucial to the proper function of your web site. Don’t just focus on the graphics but spend some time going over your elements. I know that it doesn’t sound like a lot of fun. Having a great looking website that does not function properly is not a lot of fun either.
Your website could look different on your visitors’ browsers and with their screen resolution. Test your website with most popular browsers and with different screen sizes before launching it.
3. Color. The color of your website should be easy on visitors’ eyes. Try not to have a lot of very bright colors, as they are hard to look at for more than a couple of minutes. Choose background colors that do not camouflage text and make it hard to read. There is nothing worse than a great looking web site with a text that cannot be read due to poor background chose.
4. Efficient coding. Double check to see if coding is as efficient as possible (or talk to your web designer to make sure that coding is as efficient as possible). Unnecessary coding could affect your search engine ranking and cause your pages to load slower. It also will make it harder to change things on your web site or to update it.
5. Simple is the word. Do not overload your website with unnecessary element that could confuse your visitors and affect your pages loading speed. I’m not saying that plain and boring pages are great. Just make sure that everything is well balanced and has its purpose. You will find that simple but professional web sites are far more successful than any other.
