You don’t have to be an expert at design to follow these simple tips to making your web page more appealing. The first thing people notice when they click into your page are the colors. When putting together your color scheme, make sure it is consistent throughout each page of the website. When deciding on colors, consider how they make you feel. If someone has visited your page, you don’t need to go bright, they are already there. Too much color might be overwhelming. Try to keep the colors nice but not forefront over your product. Choose colors that highlight your products, and go along with the theme of what you are selling.
First, aim for consistency, and usability above all else. Yes, we know splashing colors around is fun. So is putting in a jillion different types of interactive media. Ultimately, every single widget you add does one thing to your site: Makes it slow.
Worse yet, it makes it seem cluttered. Look to Google for an example of a de-cluttered web site. It’s got a logo, a text box and three links on a plain white background, and it’s the most widely trafficked web site in the world.
Avoid using components that require the user to download plug-ins to view. You can probably expect someone to have a Flash, Shockwave or PDF plug in, and a Java Virtual Machine is all but standard these days but anything that requires a download and install is a barrier to entry. On a similar note, recall that usability is king on the web. Don’t overuse special effects and images; waaay too many web sites out there look cluttered because they have a bajillion animated GIFs strewn about, on top of a flashy (and unreadable) color schemeusually with an annoying piece of music running on a constant loop in the background.
Choosing a good theme, colors and layout will compensate for avoiding some of the more fancy options. Keeping my page consistent with the use of common plug-in’s and limited effects, is of great benefit with smart web marketing strategies and will be for you too if you implement it.
When designing your site, it is important to let people know what your contents are right away. Have a good site index and clear intentions. Your messages need to be conveyed in a clear way without using jargon that most people would not understand.
Focus on your content; it’s why people are coming to your site. Focus on navigability; a good index and clearly stated intentions will do wonders for repeat visitors, and make it likelier that you’ll get repeat visitors. When writing content, avoid jargon, and speak in nice, clear sentences. Sure, you can say that the CSS manifold space explificates the eigenstat of the user interface experience but if your eyes glazed over on that, imagine how a whole site of that would read.
Similarly, if you do have content that requires user interaction, please keep it in the bounds of a widely established plugin: Flash, Shockwave, PDF and Java are all acceptable. DIVX, Windows Media, Quicktime and whatever else out there may not be – it depends on what you can expect people who’re hitting your site would have installed as a matter of course.
