Great Tips For A Great Website Design

By: Mahoney Home | Internet-and-Business | Web-Design


Creating the perfect website design is not easy for everyone as lots of thought goes into creating the right website design. You have to not only consider the image you intend to propagate through the design; you also have to consider the colors, fonts and SEO techniques for your website.

While designing your website, you have to first select a color scheme that fits your company or product, and stick to it. You can get ideas for the color scheme on looking at the logo or colors used in your office stationery. If you don’t have logos, and are starting from scratch, it is better to choose from two or three complementary colors throughout the page, and not to change colors on different web pages.

Use the right color combinations in the website design

The common color combinations are red, white and gray; blue and white; yellow, grey and white; and red, yellow and white. You can get additional ideas by surfing the internet and finding websites that you like.

Instead of hiring a website designer, you can create great website designs with the help of templates. There are many sites offering templates for you to choose from, while some web design software also has templates with them.

Though it may look interesting and attractive to have special effects implemented in your website, remember that spinning graphics and logos may also distract visitors from the content in your website. Moreover, these graphics take longer to download, and may discourage impatient visitors from visiting your website.

The font should be easily readable in the website’s backgroundTo ensure visitors have no difficulty in navigating your website, you have to create a website design having an easy to use navigation system. Websites usually have their navigation bar on its left or top; however you can also include your navigation bar in the bottom of a page if required.

The background color of the website design has to be chosen wisely so that visitors can read all the text in the website. So if your font is of a dark color, your background has to be light in color. Moreover, the color of your background has to be chosen so that links placed in the website can be seen by surfers.

Placing external links to your website design makes your website more informative as it gives your visitors more reason to visit your website. On surfing the website that results on clicking the link, visitors can easily return to your website.

Use a site map for large websites If you have a large website, where there are more than 15 pages, it is better to have a site map included in your website design. An alternative is to add a â€search’ feature to your website to make it easier for visitors to find what they are looking for.

Then of course, content for your website is a very important part of your website design. If there is no strong and attractive content, your website will not get the promotion or attention it requires.

So implementation of all these tips in your website design will ensure that you have a website that will draw lots of traffic and attention.
