Make any logos on your website link to the home page. Just about everyone expects to be able to click on the company logo to be redirected to the home page. It's frustrating to click on a logo and have nothing happen, and this saves you from adding a 'home' link. Allowing them to click on the logo makes your website easier to navigate.
Checklists, reference cards, and "cheat sheets" are all tools that smart web designers do not hesitate to rely on, in order to create, maintain, and troubleshoot great websites. You can revisit them as necessary for solutions to problems or inspiration for your design.
If you want to host any type of video on your website, make sure to first check with the web host to be positive that this is something that is allowed. Many hosts do not permit video hosting to be used on their servers. FLV files use too much room on the public servers. Therefore, you should check this out beforehand or you could potentially waste all your efforts.
If you decide to design a commercial website, it is a really bad idea to consider using a free web hosting account. Free web hosts often require you to include their ads on your site, which looks cluttered and detracts the focus of your site, which should be your own products and services. There will be no advertisements, unless you put them there, with a paid service.
Web designers should aim towards making that perfect website. While the "perfect website" doesn't really exist, the mindset of striving towards creating the best possible website will help you to continually improve. It's a good idea to adopt this mentality whether you're building a personal website or a large corporate site.
If you are new to web design, you should start with a very basic layout. This allows you to modify the structure as you become more comfortable with design principles. You want to start out basic and then get advanced later on when you become better and more familiar with the whole web design process.
Use keywords that are relevant to your audience throughout your web copy. Design is important, but the artistic elements of a website take second place to the ability to persuade your readers. It's important to understand the client you are making the website for. What type of language will your visitors respond to? Choose a few key phrases and use them appropriately throughout the site.
Hosting your own site is not a good idea. Having an experienced team of experts running your server for you, including upgrading the software and dealing with hardware failure, will leave you time to focus on your site itself.
Don't overdo it with JavaScript. It does provide more ways for you to build a responsive and transparent site, but it can be problematic for some visitors. No two web browsers are the same, and each one offers up new versions on a regular basis. They might not have the latest edition of the browser. In addition, not everyone keeps JavaScript enabled within their browsers. Either of these problems can make the visitor unable to use your site.
Checking out domain auctions allows you to grab up a good name that you wouldn't be able to buy new. Such sites list excellent domain names that are up for grabs.
Hopefully, after reviewing this information, web design looks a little less forbidding to you. The more you know about web design, the easier it'll be to design a site for your needs. Use these tips to create a great site in no time.
