Tips for a better website

The expectations, significance, importance and standards of business websites have changed dramatically since the past several years. These days the importance of having a website is at its all time high. If you are have a business then you should definitely have a website of your business because people nowadays have a tendency to use the internet to search for products and services. When you are planning to launch a website of your business you should understand the fact that you only have a few seconds to capture the attention of the visitor of your website. If your website fails to grab the attention of the visitor within a few seconds, the visitor might bounce out of the website and visit the website of your competitor.

In this post we will try to mention some basic and important collection of web design best-practices.

First of all, you should make sure that your website does not have any spelling or grammatical mistakes. That is certainly a disaster and blunder. A website that has spelling mistakes or grammatical errors can definitely lose credibility and look unprofessional. Proof read your website several times manually, and then use a software program to recheck the content of your website before uploading it to the internet.

The next tip is to avoid long pages. Vertical scrolling is tolerable to some extent but it is best that you do not make your pages excessively long. Instead of making long pages, you can divide your website content on multiple pages.

Avoid harsh conflicting colors on your website. Forget about putting black text on white background or vice versa. This contrast is so irritating that some people even feel a headache by looking towards it for a long time. Your website has to be eye-catching, so if you are using black/white then play around with different shades of gray.

Make sure your links are visible. This also means that your website should have a sound navigation structure and the visitor of your website should be easily able to find whatever he is searching for. The links should be visible so that the visitor identifies what is a link and what is not. You can do this by putting links in different colors and/or underlining the links.

Search engine optimization is extremely important these days. These are techniques and processes through which your website would rank better in the results of search engines. Make sure that you follow all the techniques and procedures of On-Page optimization.
