People who think that web designing is a large, complicated world may be right in some manner especially if one has to think about how fast innovations happen in the world of web designing. Yet, no matter how much advancement came in, the basics will still not change. Thus, mastering the basic will always help you no matter how many changes web designing undergo.
Size of your graphics. Limit your graphics size to at most 12 KB. Although there is already a lot of fast internet connection available in a much wider scope, you should not take chances. It is better that you get to make sure that your graphics can load fast in any internet connection speed and computer models than find out later on that a lot of your prospect customers are get disappointed with how slow your site loads.
The use of standard layouts. One of the things that users appreciate when looking at a website is the sense of familiarity that they have with how the website looks. The more familiar a website is, the easier it is for them to make their way through one page to another. Since they already have an idea how a website looks, then they would easily know how to get from one page to another.
The choice of fonts. The main reason why you use fonts in your site is because you have some things that you would want your visitors to read. Fonts are not there only for decorative purposes. That is why when you are choosing a font, make sure that it is something that, although may not look so fancy, is easy to read and understand. Such fonts include Serif for the headlines, Verdana, Geneva, Arial and Helvetica.
The number of advertisements found in your page. Although advertisements may be a good source of income in the online business, you need to make use of them in your site in moderation. Do not crowd pages of your site with ads. This will only make viewers confused and at some point irritated. Always give a breathing space for your readers’ eyes to relax and gain focus.
Valuing time by assuring speed. Speed is one of the major needs of people and your site should be able to fulfill this need. Time is of the essence when loading your website. Every minute that your site loads slower, the more money and possible customer you lose. Also, a slow website creates a bad impression that could be spread using the word of mouth. You don’t want to know feedbacks saying that your site may have good content but it is not good enough to make people wait.
