| | Website Designs that Work and Some That Dont | |
Have you seen the internet page
with the black background and navy blue writing
? Oh, yeahIm sure weve ALL seen that website, and I hope the last measure
we saw it was 10 many years ago when web develope
was in its infancy.
By now, we all understand
that visual appeal is a must when it comes down to internet site
design, and that NOBODY (and I do mean nobody) desire to stare at a red screen with yellow writing
and blinking blue dots.
A web sites
design should be elegant on the reader. Think of your audience. Think of yourself for a minute! After all, would you want to spend never ending
hours designing a site whose colors you cant even stare at for longer than 30 seconds? Remember who your audience is, and think of some colors that will bring them into your website without reservation.
1.For your develope
elements, think clean, crisp, and appealing.
2.Always make use of
darker text on a light background. If using light text on a dark background, just be aware of the color clash and that this might
be harder on the eyes. To promote effortless
visualization of your writing
, it is better to stick with dark writing
on a light background.
3.Clutter is very distracting. Try to minimize the usage of flash or gif animation, and make use of
only when there is true function and purpose for it
4.Create proper alignment of pictures and writing
. Text is read better in the left alignment as opposed to the center alignment. Pictures work well with text when left aligned in the body of the writing
.
5.Navigation should be consistent throughout each page. Take advantage of template abilities in programs such as Dreamweaver, to create a structured template and navigation scheme that is consistent for each page of your site. Check to make sure that none of your links are broken. When adding new links to the navigation, build sure it is added on each page.
These are all steps that can help you create a well-planned develope
. Remember, visual appeal is very important and plays on the five senses of each of your web site visitors. If you might
greet your visitors with a snazzy develope
, you have a higher chance of retaining that visitor for a longer period of time (even if you have little or lousy content!) Content definitely has its place, and actually has far greater weight than develope
, but if you are trying to reel in those passersby and catch them on the first visit, first impressions always matter!
