A Website Design Service Prevents Common Mistakes Found In Templates

By Rebecca Mitchell


Many people are learning about the technical elements of blogs and websites these days. This could be due to the fact that more individuals are using the web to market their services or sell goods. While the process may be easy, the goal is to turn visitors into buyers or someone who will stop by regularly. When sites are hard to navigate or take a long time to load, their first visit is normally their last. Although some online business owners may be able to figure out their problem site eventually, many wish they had used a website design service early in the game.

People who often take on this task to save money tend to make a number of common mistakes. Although it is fairly easy to place or click on elements so they are visible, two areas often scream amateur. Color choice or font selection is usually a dead giveaway.

While two colors or monochrome are generally safe choices, often it is not enough unless a black, white, or neutral color is part of the theme. Four colors are the absolute maximum and they should create some sort of balance. A good rule of thumb is one dark or neutral color for every vibrant color.

This is why few good sites use a single color throughout, except for the text. However, there are some brands that can get away with using mostly black with white text and tabs. Many art gallery sites take a minimalist approach because visitors stop to see colorful images.

Freelance workers and solopreneurs should take a look at their current web presence and ask themselves how well their real estate is working. If it just gives visitors basic information about the individual or their services, there is a chance that other opportunities may exist. Links to relevant live articles, collaborative projects, interesting videos or presentations should be placed on a single website with an address that identifies the owner.

Even though a person may be familiar with HTML or Cascading Style Sheets, there is a lot more to creating a functional website. While this knowledge is advantageous, it cannot substitute how to create a good site or blog from scratch. A good layout is one that has the textual and visual elements and whitespace in an even balance.

Also, what a lot of people are finding out is that building a website from scratch takes time and patience. Running a business can be a distraction if a person is trying to learn real design at the same time. Finding a work pattern that will fit an individual lifestyle is a job by itself.

Getting the most out of a website, whether it be direct sales or as a way to engage, is not something that can be mastered overnight. User behavior patterns, psychology, and proper measurement of elements can determine whether a site will be useful as a marketing tool. While drag and drop templates are nice for the promotion of one time events, few are compatible for professional use. However, many of these still need tweaking for individual preference. If there is a person on staff who can do this with minimal training, it may be worth the gamble but smart investments always pay off in the long run.
