Tips To Improve Your Website's Design

By Manny Rutz


If you have no idea what the creative process is for designing a successful website then it can be a little intimidating in the beginning. To know exactly what type of design you want for your site you need to have a vision of what you want or don't want. In this article we'll give you some ideas to help you get started.

The first tip is to have a favicon created for the website you designed. This small graphic will give your site more recognition in case a visitor decides to bookmark your website. Memorable favicons help you stand out when people look at their bookmarks. If possible, create a favicon that's consistent with your business logo, product, or theme.

For more complex websites like commercial sites or online stores it is crucial that your design flow is simple to follow. You need to make the site to run smoothly and also make it easy to understand for anyone. If your customers or visitors have a positive experience in your site chances are they will come back later to do more business.

Another important point to remember is to have your site's structure in a way that is familiar to any visitor. For example making your logo clickable to the homepage is well known and it should be used on all sites. You don't want frustrated visitors, you need to make it easier for everyone.

One important tip is to often maintain and update your site's content. Avoiding broken links and empty pages is one way to do that. It can be extremely frustrated to end up with a broken link on a page, which is why you must often check and make sure your content is always live and working properly.

Hopefully these tips help you and you now have a few more ideas on what it takes to structure and design a good website. The more you research and apply the better your site will look in the end, good luck to you.
