The first thing people usually notice when they visit a website is how well it is designed. A bad first impression can mean visitors just hit "back" right away, so you have to design your site correctly the first time. If you make use of the following tips, you should minimize the chances of a poor first impression.
Make certain that the search box you design is at the top of every web page, and contains 27 characters, at least. Use the word "Search" on the button for starting a search and avoid words like "go" or "submit". Doing this makes sure the search box can be easily seen, used and helps visitors to your site find exactly what they were looking for.
Avoid using Flash applications when designing your website. Flash may look exciting, but it doesn't function properly on all types of computers. Some phones and tablets, especially those made by Apple, won't run Flash at all, which can destroy the user experience if there's no alternative content.
Once your site is published online, you don't get to stop working on it's design! You should strive to stay involved with your website's design. Regular updates are important as they show that you are bringing something new to your site. This is especially true if you're hosting videos or working with current events. Unfortunately, updating a website is not as simple as updating a blog. You may need to implement a more diligent regime to be successful.
Be certain that everywhere your logo appears on your site, the logo links back to the home page of your site. It is common these days for sites to have a logo or image that visitors can click on to return to the home page. It can prove frustrating to your users if they click on a static logo, because then they have to search to find a 'home' link. Having the logo as clickable makes your website easier to navigate around.
Make your own favicon. Make you site recognizable in your customer's favorites list with this small graphic. When they are looking at the bookmarks they have created, your little favicon will make an impression. Your favicon should mesh well with the rest of your site's content.
When using FileZilla as your file server, make sure that you program the quick menu settings with your domain, your username, and the correct port. This makes it simple whenever you log back into the server, because all you do is click on the menu and select personal settings. That is a wonderful time saver.
If your website is going to attract visitors, it needs to be easy to navigate. Ensure that links are visible and displayed in prominent locations. Menus also lend to easy navigation. Link to the main page from every other page of the site so that visitors can easily find important information.
Make sure that all of your site's links work. Sound web design favors the user, if you have links that are broken or go to error messages, users will go away. Check all of your links to ensure that they function as part of a regular maintenance schedule for your website.
