Tip 1 – Speed matters!
A quick loading site is inevitable if you want to stay for long on the net. Just imagine an amazing looking site loading at a snail’s pace! Virtually such sites fail to even draw the first attention of the surfer. It is like creating the first impression while facing an interview where in the first 5 seconds decides your destiny the moment your interviewer sees you. A slow loading site can force a visitor to not even bother and go to some other site. Don’t place “heavy” graphics all over your site. This is usually the primary cause of a site taking more than 10 seconds to load.
Optimize your code.
Do not use unnecessary graphics.
Favor text links over graphical buttons. Text links can still look great by using CSS code.
Spread your content.
Tip 1 – Navigation Experience:
By now you should have succeeded in bring the horse to the water. Now you need to make him drink the water! You should make him browse through the other pages of your site. In designing your web site, it is crucial that you define your most important links. That, of course, is where you want your user to click. In most cases it’s at the top of your page, or on the far left that users tend to look at. Keep those important links uniform to the rest of the site. This will allow the user to easily navigate and go where you want them to.
Tip 3 – White is decency:
Now the subject of white space is debatable. It has been found that many sites have that cluttered looking page with large amounts of graphics, different types of fonts, oversized ad banners, and too many colors. Go for a clean and non-busy page. If you achieve the right amount of organization with white space, you can give your site a sense of cleanliness and well defined neatness. It gives the feeling of seeing the pristine blue waters on some clean beaches. Spread your content out. If you have a page that contains an excessive amount of content, split it out to another page. Keep it simple. Deliver a powerful impression to your visitors that they are browsing a professional page that is easy to read and navigate.
Tip 4 – Browser adaptability:
Cross Browser Performance is an important issue to deal with. The web site should run with the same speed and without any problems across all the versions of the browser used by the surfers. The site should run smoothly in Mozilla’s Firefox, Opera, Safari, and other various web browsers. It is important to remember that not everyone uses only one browser. This, sometimes, can make it tricky when you are coding your site. Be sure to test in multiple browsers. One line may look good in Internet Explorer, but in Firefox, that line can be in the middle of your page, off positioning your graphics, and fumbling the success of the design. Gather information on the types and versions of the Browsers used by surfers. Test your site on all such versions and make sure you bring a smile on everyone’s face! It is a question of catering to all kinds of customers on the net. read more
