| Easy Web Design Tips
Pick an easy layout; easy to design and easy to maintain. I
have wasted many hours trying to design a site that was easily
three steps above my skill level. This was a complete waste of
time and I promised myself that I won’t make the same mistake
again. If you are a beginner, find a good web hosting company,
get your domain name, pick a decent template and get started.
You’re not a designer so don’t spend all of your time on web
design.
White Space is very powerful Use lots of white space to guide
the reader’s eye and prevent them from getting sensory overload.
Too many colors, too many ads, or simply too many words on your
page are not good.
Subheadings Have lots of subheadings because it breaks up the
text and allows the reader to scan your site and pick out the
information that is relevant to their reads. When you are
creating your site remember that people don’t read online, they
scan. You should always make it easy for visitors to find what
they need on your web page in 3o seconds or less.
Subheadings, bold, bullets, and small paragraphs are all
excellent techniques to get this done.
Navigation Bars Left hand or top navigation are the easiest for
web users. Almost every site on the web uses one of them or a
combination of both.
If you add a right handed navigated bar, you will stand out.
However, you must consider the goal of your website. Are you
trying to stand out or are you trying to provide good
information and get more sales?
A right handed navigation can lead to frustration so if you
insist on using one, make it prominent and use it consistently
on your site.
