Suggestions To Enhance Your Web Design Efforts

By Goddard Daly


There is a multitude of things that a website can be used for. It can be used as an information hub, a social network for communication, or a simple entertainment portal. No matter what its use, all websites require a knowledgeable webmaster so they can be designed properly. Here are a few web design tips to help you create your own website for any purpose.

A great web design tip that everyone should use is to do your research before you decide to pick a web hosting service. Take a look at all the options available and weigh them against the cost to find the best web hosting service for any and all your needs.

Incorporate a tagline prominently on your website. A tagline is a motto or statement that expresses what your business is all about. Using a clear tagline is important because when someone visits your page, you have roughly eight seconds to capture their attention and entice them to explore the rest of your site.

Try your best to update the content of any old sites that you have. You want to make sure that any of the sites you build seem like they're up to date with the technology that is out today - you don't want a site that looks 10 years old.

Use ALT tags whenever possible. These helpful tags describe an image to a viewer, assisting the visually impaired, as well as those who prefer to browse without images. As an added bonus, some search engines include these tags in their rankings, so you may get a boost by using them.

Make sure your business logo is well-designed and prominently on every page of your site. Your logo is a key component of your brand, and it should be one of the first things people see when they go to your website. If you can't come up with a good idea for a logo, there are design firms that will make you one at relatively low cost.

If you're having any doubts about your ability to create a great site, you can always scale back the vision. A site doesn't need a forum and a chat room and a videos page and a miscellaneous section. You can make do just fine with only a few options. It's great to dream big, but you need to be a realist.

Consider using some sort of time tracking software to help keep you focused and on task. Getting distracted is an easy way to prolong the completion of any project your are working on and these time management products will help keep your head in the game, allowing you to achieve your goals on time.

Never force the viewer on a path of your choosing or break them away from their current workflow. This means not pushing surveys or offers into their window that they must complete before they continue. By removing a viewer's options and forcing them to do as you please, you are likely losing their service and creating a bad review for your domain.

Now that I've been designing websites for over a decade, I feel that I can give some advice back. Use the tips in this article, continue learning as much as you can, and stay on top of trends to ensure your websites stand out in the crowd. If I can do it, anyone can!
