Posted on: October 17th, 2010 by webdesigner

Web design deals with the question of ways of  presenting your content in a manner that would attract and provide ease to your targeted visitors.

It is imperative for the webpage to have useful and interesting content. This is what a site can improve and work on because no form of graphics can possibly make a page relevant when it’s useless to begin with.

Images that take up a huge space can cause slow loading responses in your page. This can bore and even cause nuisance to your visitors. Optimize your images so that your pages will load fast in any browser.

In designing a web page, people are likely to use different kinds of graphics. Make sure that the graphic images that you use are related to the content of your page. Do not use blinking, glittering, or flashing banners because these merely repel visitors instead of capturing their attention. Scrolling text makes reading inconvenient and image backgrounds are amateur and slow to load, so they should be avoided at all costs.

Stick to standard fonts like Verdana, Arial, and Times New Roman. Do not change fonts too often and limit your page to two kinds of fonts. Avoid using italics because it makes text difficult to read. Consistency in font style will make your page appear more pleasing to the eye.

People do not go to websites to view ads; they search for content. Do not overwhelm your visitors with pop-ups and a lot of sponsored text. Basically, you should keep the users’ interest in mind.
