for you.
Designing a website is a tedious
chore, and requires you to think out a plan of action, and
put in a lot of work to make it successful. There are many
different kinds of websites on the Internet, but if you look
at all the top performers with high traffic, you will notice
that they all have similar design characteristics which
place them at the top.
Characteristics of a well thought out website
design:
Attractive
Layout
It's important to design a
website that looks attractive and is easy on the eyes. There
are many important factors which determine the aesthetics of
the website however the main components are very simple.
Make sure your color scheme is easy on the eyes, do not make
the person viewing your website strain their eyes to
decipher the text. Make sure the text is of adequate size
and isn't set to a color that will clash with your
background. Most users will not re-adjust their web browsers
fonts just to read your website, so you need to make sure
your site looks good on multiple platforms and web
browsers.
Quick Loading
If your website takes too long
too load, then you will drive many users away. Several
things can contribute to the loading speed of your website,
some considerations should be: the size of your graphics,
amount of graphics, and speed of the web server. It is best
to have a html / text based website for slower speed users.
Remember that just because you are on DSL or Cable doesn't
mean the bulk of your users will be!
Easy to Navigate
If your users can't find your
pages then the website is useless. Make sure you have an
adequate navigational menu or some form of linking system.
The users shouldn't have to search carefully on your website
to find a link, make it obvious and consistent. If you have
dynamic menus, try to have a backup of text links incase the
users browser doesn't support the scripting method you
use.
Useful
Information
Probably the single most
important factor for having a good website is to have truly
useful information. If you have a website about nothing,
then it might as well not even be there. Try to provide as
much information on a subject as you can, write it so your
audience will understand it, and produce it in a straight
forward manner. With most search engines today, you have to
try and keep your subject matter as primary topic of your
website, the amount of useful text, links, and references
will directly dictate how well you will be ranked in the
search engines.
With these very simple
recommendations you should be able to produce a website that
will attract and keep users, provide a useful website to the
world, and help your search engine rankings.
