There are many webmasters out there who fear huge amounts of traffic flooding their websites each month. Having lots of visitors is a good thing, however, but you also want a site that's designed properly so that those visitors will have something to make them stay. You can offer unique products and spend time and money on advertising, but it will all be for nothing if your visitors don't stick around long enough. Many webmasters ignore this element because their focus is on how to reach their target audience instead of how to design their site properly. If your site looks unprofessional, it may leave a bad impression with your visitors which is exactly what you don't want. So if you're looking for some tips on web design, here are a few web design tips you'll want to keep in mind.
One of the biggest mistakes webmasters make is not having a fast loading website. There are lots of sites online that take too long to load, which people generally don't have the time to wait for. The best web design tip that anyone can give you in relation to this problem is to make sure you use more text and less graphics. It's just as easy as that. While loud graphics/animations may be alright on the eyes but these definitely slow down the load time of the site. So only use graphics on the site when you feel it's really essential. Your probably losing half your traffic if your site takes longer than 10 seconds to load. A good way to see if your site loads fast is to use a slower connection to see if your site loads too longer, and then if it does you can just cut down on the graphics.
Another thing to keep in mind is navigation. Good website design and smooth navigation go together. You want visitors to be able to go to your site and easily find whatever they want. Don't force your visitors to click a bunch of links or scroll to the bottom of the page, etc. Instead, give them a clear cut road map on how your site is structured and how they're able to move around. Also, keep in mind that not everyone comes to your site from your home page, as they may find your site through the search engines. Therefore, you'll want to include the page's title and also links on the top or bottom that lead to your site's important pages like your home page, contact page, about page, etc.
You can save some future headaches if you make sure your website looks as it should in all the major browsers. This way you can clear up any resolution issues that you have. You would rather discover these things yourself than have a visitor tell you how screwed-up your site looks. To conclude, effective web design isn't quite as complex as it may appear. Don't overlook the aforementioned ideas and make sure to take care of all the small details. The challenging part is design an interesting site for your visitors, not creating the site itself.
