Quote of the Day

"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life."

John Burroughs

Easy Web Design Tips
 
Pick an easy layout; easy to design and easy to maintain. I have wasted many hours trying to design a site that was easily three steps above my skill level. This was a complete waste of time and I promised myself that I won't make the same mistake again. If you are a beginner, find a good web hosting company, get your domain name, pick a decent template and get started. You're not a designer so don't spend all of your time on web design.

White Space is very powerful Use lots of white space to guide the reader's eye and prevent them from getting sensory overload. Too many colors, too many ads, or simply too many words on your page are not good.

Subheadings Have lots of subheadings because it breaks up the text and allows the reader to scan your site and pick out the information that is relevant to their reads. When you are creating your site remember that people don't read online, they scan. You should always make it easy for visitors to find what they need on your web page in 3o seconds or less.

Subheadings, bold, bullets, and small paragraphs are all excellent techniques to get this done.

Navigation Bars Left hand or top navigation are the easiest for web users. Almost every site on the web uses one of them or a combination of both.

If you add a right handed navigated bar, you will stand out. However, you must consider the goal of your website. Are you trying to stand out or are you trying to provide good information and get more sales?

A right handed navigation can lead to frustration so if you insist on using one, make it prominent and use it consistently on your site.
