Tips for Website Design

Website design requires you to be thoughtful. Well, what would you think for the design? Only one thing-“the website must keep visitors hooked and it must compel them to re-visit”. But this simple thing requires you to implement and asses several design parameters. What are they? Let us analyze them quickly (Well, we will take every point in elaborate way in the later posts).

1.Stuff the site with easily readable and attractive content.

2.Avoid the eye-sores sounds unless extremely needed.

a) Blinking and scrolling text, animated GIFs, or auto-loading sounds are annoying to the visitors.

b) It is seen that the bounce rate is extremely high in sites with overstuffed pop-up windows.

c) Image backgrounds are passé as it presents you as an amateur.

3.Friendly navigation and searching the required information

a) Organize your content presentation.

b) Do not let visitors “click” too much.

c) Limit your page length to 2 screenfuls unless it is really important to increase.

d) There must be a provision for visitor to come to homepage from anywhere in the site.

e) Menu must be there on every page.

f) Avoid using frames.

4. Ensure that website opens swiftly

Compress the size of image files in the site.

Minimal usage of flash or other multimedia tools.
