Tips To Improve Your Website's Design

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.

One simple design feature some people often don't pay attention to but is important is your website's favicon. Your favicon is that little icon on the left hand of your browser next to your URL. Believe it or not some people will bookmark your site if the find it interesting. Which is why if you have a favicon you can also be consistent with your business or theme.

For more complex websites like commercial sites or online stores it is crucial that your design flow is simple to follow. You need to make the site to run smoothly and also make it easy to understand for anyone. If your customers or visitors have a positive experience in your site chances are they will come back later to do more business.

Another important point to remember is to have your site's structure in a way that is familiar to any visitor. For example making your logo clickable to the homepage is well known and it should be used on all sites. You don't want frustrated visitors, you need to make it easier for everyone.

Make sure all your links are updated, and working properly. Good web design relies on being user friendly, and broken links are frustrating to your visitors. To prevent these things from happening, create a time frame at regular intervals where you check all the links for proper functionality.

Overall it all comes down to exploring other sites and new ideas to make your website unique. Keep learning and applying so you can stay one step ahead of your competitors and also on what's happening in the world of web design.
