  In order to set up a successful website, you must first understand the principles behind good web design. By having a website that looks nice, it will also be easier to use. Good design will not only encourage more traffic to your site, it will increase the number of repeat visitors you get. This article may help you create a more successful website.
  
  Do not forget to test your site on several major browsers. Each browser program handles sites in a different way, and these variations can alter the user's interface significantly. You should find out the top five to ten browsers. Make sure to beta-test your site on all popular browsers, including those used on mobile devices.
  
  While you want to keep the aesthetics of your site in mind, you also need to make every effort to keep your file sizes to a minimum. The reason for this is that your file sizes directly affect how quickly your website loads. It is always better to have your website load as fast as possible. Remember, some of your website's visitors will not be using a fast Internet connection. Test your website to ensure that it loads quickly even on a dial-up modem connection.
  
  Most people know about Photoshop, and they realize that it takes some effort and knowledge to use it effectively in web design. Dreamweaver is another option that should be considered when making a choice.
  
  Always check your website for broken hyperlinks. Do this before uploading the links to your server. This is important, as visitors who click on your links expecting useful information, only to find a 404 page, will leave your site in disgust. So you don't run into problems, make sure you check to see if everything works.
  
  Although you could discover other designs and strategies you love, you must ensure you're always being imaginative when it comes to designing your own site. Come up with interesting new design elements and website features. Don't be afraid to also improve on features that are considered best practices, however. Following through with this step will certainly give you the best possible website design.
  
  Using proper and high-quality meta tags on your website is crucial to proper web design and attracting more traffic. Good meta tags will help search engines categorize your site properly. If you do not have good meta tags that describe your site well, you are not going to attract many visitors to your site.
  
  Do not hire someone close to you to help you with your site. No matter how much experience a family member has in web design you should not hire them to help you because it will limit your ability to be able to fire them if you are not happy with the site.
  
  If you plan to include video content on your website, you should first verify that your web host allows it. Many hosts do not permit video hosting to be used on their servers. The FLV files tend to take up a lot of room on public servers. Be sure to check before doing anything so you are not wasting your efforts.
  
  You should feel more confident about designing your website by now. You should. If not, then go ahead and reread this article so that you are feeling like you understand web design in a way, that makes you confident when thinking about the subject.
