  High-quality web design is essential in having a successful website. But, available information is vast, design ideas constantly change, and the concept of "great" alters, so achieving a "great" website is not always that simple. Fortunately, you will find help in this article! This article is full of useful tips that will get you into the web design game.
  
  It is vital that you are aware of the fact of your need to design your website so that it displays properly on a range of different Internet browsers. A given web browser will interpret a website differently than another one will, and sometimes the differences are quite drastic. There are a lot of ways you can determine which browsers are most popular at the current time. Test the website on all browsers, even the popular mobile ones.
  
  Be careful when you are adding sound to your website. Sound can often aggravate the user if they haven't explicitly designated the audio to play and is even worse if a volume option isn't present. You can supply sound options with audio and video links, but you should ultimately give the site users the choice of turning it off.
  
  Concept sketches can be effective tools for web designers that are in the beginning stages of their sites. This is a useful tool to help you decide what your site needs, and what you want it to look like. Use this as your starting point and build out from there.
  
  Try and get some books which can help you be a better web designer. Be sure to buy books written for your skill level in the beginning; you should learn techniques step by step without skipping, so that your web design skills can be perfected.
  
  Ensure that your site's search box is close to the top of your webpage and that it contains a minimum of 27 characters. Use a button that says 'search', rather than 'go' or 'submit'. Making the search box properly ensures that it is seen easily, used easily, and helps visitors to your site locate the information they want.
  
  Many hosts have website tools available. While you can use these tools for basic design, it's not a great idea to completely rely upon them. Eventually you want to incorporate your own ideas into the site, which means lots of tinkering and experimenting with different things without having to rely on the simple functions of the site-builder you get from the host provider.
  
  Launching your website doesn't signal the end of the design process. You will need to stay active, when it comes to your website. Daily updates aren't necessary, but you should update your site regularly, at least a few days a week. Regular updates are crucial, especially if your website hosts anything relating to current events. Updating a website is quite different from updating a blog. You still have to put in some effort, though!
  
  Content often trumps design when it comes to building hits. Keep your pages minimal, easy to navigate, and focused, so your website communication will be easily understood and appreciated by your visitors. The simpler the page is, the more likely it will load in a quick way.
  
  You may not come up with the next big thing on the web. Unless you come up with the best idea ever, aim lower. That said, you can create a perfectly competent site that has many of the same features as major corporate sites if you study web design for a while. Use the tips laid out here, and start designing today!
