Web design tips!!!

  creating a professional website.

6
Keep it simple..!!

• This is the number one rule of any design,
  whether you work in digital or print media.
• There's no need for extra bells and whistles on a
  website as they don't attract more traffic.
• All you need are crisp photos or images and
  simple text that are well balanced on each page,
  with a few hyperlinks and a few buttons to
  navigate to other pages on your website.
• Don't include flashing animations, auto-loading
  sounds or scrolling text.

7
Don't bury the main point..!!

• Put the most important information on your
  homepage and secondary information only a click
  away.
• That is, don't bury information three or four
  clicks from the homepage. If it has to be that
  far from the homepage, it isn't important.
  Eliminate it.

8
Working with images..!!

• Make sure your image file sizes are small so that
  they load seamlessly and your page appears
  instantly.
• Use compressed images in the site so that it
  loads faster.

9
No pop-up windows often..!!

• There's only one thing more annoying than waiting
  for a page to load, and that's a pop-up window.
• People don't like to have their web-viewing
  experience interrupted by pop-up windows
  especially ads.

10
Color schemes..!!

• Choose a color scheme with three mild colors for
  your WebPages.
• One should be your background. Light blue and
  beige work well.
• Use one or two other colors for link buttons,
  your header and other design elements.

11
Fonts..!!

• Choose a font that's simple and easy on the eyes.
  
• The following fonts typically work well for
  websites
• Arial
• Georgia
• Helvetica
• Verdana
• Times New Roman.

12
Pages..!!

• Limit your page length to just one page scroll
  with creative designs.
• Blogs and articles can be longer, but no one
  likes to scroll down a page too far to find the
  information they want.

13
Homepage links..!!

• Include a home button on every page.
• This way, your visitors won't need to click the
  back button on their browsers ten times to get to
  your homepage.

14
Contact links..!!

• Put a contact link on every page.
• It can be frustrating to search for contact
  information and not find it.
• Keep yours in plain sight on all pages to make it
  as easy for your visitors to find.
• After all, you do want to be contacted.

15
Don't use icon links..!!

• Every link should be a text link, including the
  buttons at the top of a page.
• It's okay to have a button shapes, but they
  should have a word on top of them. Ex Home
