Web Design Tips
 


A website must load within seven seconds or the visitor will go away. So, strike the balance between graphics and text. Image maps might just serve the purpose of stunning flash graphics.

Recognize the visitors of the web site first and figure out what they would prefer to see in the web page. Talk in their language.

If you are using templates have your customers select the templates. Then, replace all the images and text with ones related to the customer’s business.

The title of the page must be relevant to the web contents for search engine rankings. Select the Meta keywords carefully. Phrases in the keywords give better result than single words.

Make your HTML codes and scripts compatible to all browsers. It will ensure future compatibility; current browser viewing, fewer strange problems, http://validator.w3.org or http://netmechanic.com might help. Check backward compatibility with older browsers. http://www.delorie.com/
web/wpbcv.html
might help for single pages.

Make an easy and attractive interface. Navigation should be self-explanatory.

Broken links, blank or unreadable pages, and broken CGI application links will drive the visitors away. So, prevent it from happening. Rather, implement custom error pages and explain what caused the errors and a way around it.

Develop a testing system and test the pages for many dimensions including accessibility, modem speed, performance, download and security. Realize the best, average and worst case scenarios. Performance for worst case scenario should be acceptable.

Link exchange with many other sites. http://www.gotop.com or http://www.ms-links.com might help. This will help a search engine find your site sooner. However, prevent hot linking to your images using .htaccess file if hosted in Apache server.
