Keep these tips in mind, when it comes to thinking about what you
want on your web page. You can design the most spectacular site, but
if the majority of browswers don't support the technology, you will
sacrifice all the effort you've put into your design.
We will be adding more tips in the future, so be sure to check back
often.
Keep it clean, not cluttered!
A web page is not the same as a magazine page. The tendency for most
people is to clutter up their site. When it comes to the web, less
is definitely more!
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
Today's web design technology allows you to add music,
videos, animation and Flash to your site. While these are all great
innovations and create the illusion of a snappy site, many browsers
simply do not support this technology. The result is that your pages
load slowly and your visitor will beat a hasty retreat to the next
site.
White space is good!
White space does not necessarily mean that your background color be
white. It means that the page is clean, not crammed with text and
images. White space gives the eyes a chance to rest.
Update! Update! Update!
You've gone to the expense designing a web site. You not
only want to get traffic to your site, but want your visitors to come
back often! The best web sites on the internet (and the ones who report
the most hits) are the ones who constantly maintain
their pages keeping them fresh and up-to-date.
Faster than a speeding bullet!
How many times have you gone to a site only to be greeted by a huge
image that seems to take forever to load? What do you do? Most people
don't have the patience to wait and so they move on. The average time
someone is willing to wait for a page to load is about 3 seconds.
We design our pages to load quickly so that you don't lose that all
important visitor to your site.
Color and design
Using color on a web page can be exciting and add dimension and personality
to your site. But be aware that certain color combinations simply
do not work on the web. Here's
a good bad example.
