Web Site with good Design and breathtaking graphics. Design, design, design.. To put the wonders of a good Design into perspective, imagine a when we are purchasing a T-Shirt.. First of all, what do we look at? The Design of the T-Shirt, of course.. Well most people do, other than the material factor.. But let’s assume the all other factors are constant, wouldn’t the Design or looks, become the key aspect then?

2 ) Design

Putting oneself in another individual’s shoes, as usual.. Here are another two situations..

Situation A : A Web Site with good Design and breathtaking graphics.. (Good color schemes with matching theme), pictures.. (Optimum resolutions and relevant) and proper fonts and word sizes..

Situation B : A Web Site inversely equipped with hideous graphics and pictures in terms of resolution, quality and relevancy.. (Red pictures with a bright green background) Fonts used were not matching albeit too fanciful.. (Too small, artsy font-types)

Situation A, visitors that enter the Web Site are immediately awestruck by the Design and artwork.. The well placed pictures and designs will somewhat symbolizes the positive nature of the company/website.. As we know, most people DO judge by impression..

As for Situation B, the shabby environment due to severe lack of creativity and badly taken pictures wouldn?t exactly help in attracting visitors.. Fonts that were hard to be read, let alone comprehended, and mismatching themes in terms of color, isn’t exactly welcoming, is it?

Analysis: Now, the main idea here is to always plan YOUR websites, try to get other individuals for feedback and perspectives.. Each mindset might differ, but at least you will get room for improvement.. Don’t get me wrong, even a plain Web Site with proper Design would generate plenty of positive implications, but the key idea here is to at least maintain an impressionable website..

People always want to follow the latest thing, be it in fashion, sports, that kind of thing.. Websites have become a necessity to almost everyone.. Companies, businesses, individuals, even young adults have created personal websites with their respective purposes, be it for profit, or for entertainment..

What one must consider, however, before creating a website, are the factors in which must be put to thought before doing so, such as the cost, maintenance, use, web host and so forth..

Firstly, associating with the cost, we must always try to find an affordable host, not spending too much, nor too little.. A cheap hosting does not exactly symbolize a credible reliability rating, but we must always look for value for money deals.. Also, regarding the efficiency and server/web hosting reliability, there are many cases of web hosts not providing the service they had assured other people, some had even shut down and were nowhere to be seen.. Keep this note in mind, as if you would like a long-lasting website, this would be the first thing to look for..

Next, would hiring a professional be affordable?
Is it the best option?
For simple websites, we could always pick up the coding, or even use programs, as it is relatively simple.. However, when it comes to more complex coding, and when you want it to do a tad more than just providing information, hiring help in doing so would be the best way.. Not only in terms of design, but security is also a key factor in assuring a quality website.. If the Web Site also acts as a portal for businesses, security would definitely be the issue here..

So, having considered the things to do before building a website, do we actually NEED one? If creating one would boost sales or promote positive implications to oneself, then by all means, go ahead and do what’s best.. Yet again, planning is the key to success, in everything we do..

Don’t let some minor mistakes stop YOUR Site from functioning optimally!

As a web designer, you should Design YOUR websites to give YOUR visitors the greatest ease of use, the best impression and most important of all a welcoming experience.. It doesn’t matter if you had the greatest product in the whole world — if YOUR Web Site is poorly done you won’t be able to sell even one copy of it because visitors will be driven off YOUR Web Site by the lousy design..

When I’m talking about a “good design”, I’m not only talking about a good graphical design.. A professional web Design will be able to point out that there are many components which contribute to a good Web Site Design – accessibility design, interface or layout design, user experience Design and of course the most straightforward, which is graphic design..

Hence, I have highlighted some features of the worst web designs I’ve come across.. Hopefully, you will be able to compare that against YOUR own Site as a checklist and if anything on YOUR Site fits the criteria, you should know it’s high time to take serious action!

• 1) Background music

Unless you are running a Web Site which promotes a band, a CD or anything related to music, I would really advise you to stay away from putting looping background music onto YOUR Web Site.. It might sound pleasant to you at first, but imagine if you ran a big Web Site with hundreds of pages and everytime a visitor browses to another page on YOUR site, the background music starts playing again.. If I were YOUR visitor, I’d just turn off my speakers or leave YOUR Web Site.. Moreover, they just add to the visitors burden when viewing YOUR Web Site – users on dial up connections will have to wait longer just to view YOUR Web Site as it is meant to be viewed..

• 2) Extra large/small text size

As I said, there is more to Web Site Design than purely graphics – user accessibility is one big part of it too! You should Design the text on YOUR Web Site to be legible and reasonably sized to enable YOUR visitors to read it without straining their eyes.. No matter how good the content of YOUR Web Site or YOUR sales copy is, if it’s illegible you won’t be selling anything!

• 3) Popup windows

Popup windows are so blatantly used to display advertisements that in my mind, 90% of popup windows are not worth my attention so I just close them on instinct everytime each one manages to pass through my popup blocker (yes, I do have one like many users out there!) and, well, pops up on my screen.. Imagine if you had a very important message to convey and you put it in a popup window that gets killed most of the time it appears on a visitor’s screen.. Your Web Site loses its function immediately!

In concluding this article, let me remind you that as a webmaster YOUR job is to make sure YOUR Web Site does what it’s meant to do effectively.. Don’t let some minor mistakes stop YOUR Site from functioning optimally!
