| Website Background Colors and Graphics - What you Need to Know Before Designing Your Website
Designing your website means you have to be creative, plan out
exactly what you want visitors to see, and then turn these ideas
into a design or relay them to a design firm so they can do the
job for you. However, the problem with this is you might be
coming up with a lot of ideas that are not going to work for you
when it comes to the design on your web page. Do some research
first about what a good design includes and what a bad design
includes. Then, you might be better able to design a great
website. Consider the following suggestions before you start
coming up with design ideas so you will be sure to leave this
out.
Tip #1 - Don’t Distract
For some reason, many webmasters think it is a great idea to put
a background picture of whatever their subject matter is and
then put the text on top of it. All this does is create a very
confusing mess because people cannot see the picture for the
text and cannot read the text for the picture. Don't let this
problem arise on your website. If you want to include graphics
do so separately from the text, simple as that. When it is
separate, people are able to read what you have to say and see
the photos you post.
Tip #2 - Know Your Colors
Colors have positive and negative effects on people’s
psychological interpretations of what you are presenting.
Because of this, you should evaluate your product and what you
want people to think when they see your product and use the
colors accordingly. Keep your audience in mind as well because
men and women perceive colors different, so you might use one
set of colors if you are marketing to mostly men, another if you
are marketing mostly to women, and so on and so forth. There is
plenty information on the use of color and how you can make it
positively impact your website and visitors impressions rather
than the other way around.
Tip #3 - No Hidden Text
No matter how important it is to you to get listed in the search
engines do not think that including hidden text on the
background of your website, or anywhere for that matter, is
going to get you a better ranking. All that using hidden text
will do is ensure the search engines won’t index you and that
you will probably blacklisted forever because of your actions.
This is exactly the opposite of what you want to accomplish so
be sure to steer clear of anything that might risk your
standings with the search engines.
