The Basics

Before starting on how to design a website effectively, how about clearing some basic web design concepts? designing effectively

Now that you know what web design and related terms mean, lets get down to the real thing: Designing Effectively How to balance artistic design with practicality and functionality.

Use of graphics and content

Unless your website is all about graphics, how to make them, edit them or just a bunch of links to graphics websites, I suggest you use graphics sparingly, especially the flashing, twirling kind. They not only detract readers from the content, but they also take ages to load. You do not want your readers to leave your website because your graphically attractive page does not seem to load fast enough. Then again, too much text is boring. So mix and match the graphics and text on your page, having enough white space so that the page is not plain annoying.

Layout and design

While designing, keep in mind that poor layout and design will make your pages unreadable and difficult to keep your visitors on your website for long. Some of the things that make a poor design and layout:

Text that is too small to read

Color combinations of text and background that make the text hard to read

Large graphic files that take forever to load

Multiple things that blink

Unclear navigation; over complex navigation

Paragraphs of type in all caps, bold, and italic all at once

Graphics that don't fit on the screen (assuming a screen of 640x460 pixels)

Animations that never stop

Complicated frames, too many frames, unnecessary scroll bars in frames

Cluttered, not enough alignment of elements

Some of the things that make a webpage stand out from the crowd:

Stay away from bad design features listed above.

Background does not interrupt the text

Navigation buttons and bars are easy to understand and use

Good use of graphic elements (photos, subheads, pull quotes) to break up large areas of text

A large site has an index or site map

Link colors coordinate with page color

Every graphic link has a matching text link

Animated graphics turn off by themselves

Pages download quickly

All pages have the immediate visual impact within 640 x 460 pixels

Planning

Most of the time, all it takes to design your website effectively is a little planning. When designing a website, it needs to be clean, uncluttered, attractive and easy for users to read and find what they need. Begin with a webdesign plan:

what colors do you want to use?

Are these colors complimentary?

What items - text, images, data - do you want to put in your pages?

What layout do you want? Look at other websites and then decide.

Follow the above steps to get a website that speaks for itself and your business. You can always designing effectivelyme for suggestions and webdesign projects.
