Taking Web Design To The Next Level

By Manny Rutz


There is no doubt designing a website from scratch can be a bit intimidating specially when you don't have all the pieces together. You need to know exactly what look and message you want to send to your visitors with your design. In this article we hope to provide you with a few ideas and tips to do just that.

One simple design feature some people often don't pay attention to but is important is your website's favicon. Your favicon is that little icon on the left hand of your browser next to your URL. Believe it or not some people will bookmark your site if the find it interesting. Which is why if you have a favicon you can also be consistent with your business or theme.

Be certain to 'remember' personal information that might have to be re-entered by the returning visitors. Make it easy on your visitors by keeping information that they may need for other forms or orders. It's annoying for visitors to have to re-register for different site functions, so work to make the site experience positive for your users.

Make any logos on your website link to the home page. People have learned to be accustomed to a few things, including menus on the left, headers at the top and logos which lead back to the front of the site. Visitors will become frustrated if there is no easy way to return to the home page. Your site is much easier to use if your logo is clickable.

Make sure all your links are updated, and working properly. Good web design relies on being user friendly, and broken links are frustrating to your visitors. To prevent these things from happening, create a time frame at regular intervals where you check all the links for proper functionality.

Overall it all comes down to exploring other sites and new ideas to make your website unique. Keep learning and applying so you can stay one step ahead of your competitors and also on what's happening in the world of web design.
