Taking Web Design To The Next Level

By Manny Rutz


Trying to design a website can be extremely intimidating in the beginning. What can you do to maximize your site's appeal? Where do you begin in the coding process? The following article will offer you some great suggestions that can help you build a site that looks wonderful, while also helping you to promote the content.

The first tip is to have a favicon created for the website you designed. This small graphic will give your site more recognition in case a visitor decides to bookmark your website. Memorable favicons help you stand out when people look at their bookmarks. If possible, create a favicon that's consistent with your business logo, product, or theme.

If you are creating a commercial website make sure to make the process of entering information on your site as easy and smooth as possible. People are naturally lazy and they like things to be simple and straightforward. If you have your site structured correctly your visitors will have a positive experience and will return in the future.

One thing to remember is to always make your designs consistent with the structure of a regular site. For example having a clickable logo is one standard thing many site owners use because is a common thing. Don't try to do stuff that might confuse your visitors, keep it simple and easy to follow for all your visitors.

One important tip is to often maintain and update your site's content. Avoiding broken links and empty pages is one way to do that. It can be extremely frustrated to end up with a broken link on a page, which is why you must often check and make sure your content is always live and working properly.

These tips are the perfect starting point, so get out there and look for opportunities to use them! To stay on top of the competition, you must continue learning about new ideas, technology, advancements and techniques in website design.
