Website Design Basic Concepts

Website Design Basic Concepts What is a website design anyway? And as you have a model that uses the vast and varied tastes of all Inteet users out there? This is essential. Your website design is the first impression you make on your customers and visitors. There are a few favorite sites and my favorites that I believe to be poorly designed. Because I still have the information you want. Fortunately for the owner of the website is that good! But one day find another site with the same information and better design. Then guess who will be my choice and will be left out? Perhaps the content is too large, but not to risk a bad design. Think how much more repeat traffic and traffic that you get if you have a content and a great design.Design Taste Varies - OK, design is a matter of taste and listen to the next level. This is very similar to a visitor in the month of May is not so great to another. Here we have the old adage "a man of junk is the treasure of another man." But there are solid foundations that are in the right website design. Creating a distinctive visual style and its implementation is always the best way to start a series of topics and web pages together.Layouts - The layout of your site is an important element of design. A Web page is a clear and simple. E 'as a letter of formal shape, contour, a report or an ad. Establish a layout grid and a style for your word processing and graphics, then stick with him to build a rhythm and all the pages on your site. Easy to follow, pleasing to eyes. Lea to use tables and nested tables, lists, and well designed for the control of managers layouts.Color - color has much to do with the public as well. That appeals to a young person can not work with a target of baby-boomers, and so forth. But anybody can appreciate color coordination. Color coordination can be leaed. Yes, it is much easier if you have a natural "chic" for these things, but you can lea the techniques to coordinate the colors that make the difference between "Tacky, yuk!" E "at soothing the eyes ". Safety Colors - All the world is not 16 million colors on their computer. Lea to use websafe 216 colors. Note that the colors of the 216, not 256 colors. It 'a matter of capacity of the video card and you're in the thank you for the user of the personal computer. It 'better to keep a 6 x 6 x 6 bit resolution (216 colors) to cover the majority of Inteet users. The palette of 216 colors offers many options for design. Of course, not as much as 256 colors or 16 million dollars, but is still much to achieve what you want or should do with load time color.Page - now I'm going to be the first to admit that I * * personal web pages with large images or music. wav and other things that take time to load. The important point here is, what are my personal websites, * not * my professional website or business. Can I use these to create demo-pages of different techniques, or chatting with friends and other developers, but never ever ever to design the site for professionals (unless my client insists, in this case I do not Use your site as a demonstration of other potential customers!). This does not mean you have to leave everything on professional sites. This simply means simple, using a single high-load factor or two, leaing to compress the images correctly, and if you have a little 'more' things' and then divides into several page.Don 't too - A typical mistake among developers is too much when it comes to developing a website. Try to use extras in moderation. Among the things that are in excess: graphicsbackground imagesbevels and other graphics tricksexcessive framestext scrolling, animated. Gif, page insToo time for something much, just stands out as "cuts", Tacky, or lack of originality ... used correctly, but you can add the right touch. Lea how to use things that complement the content and not too technical and tricks.Readability - Make your pages easy to read as possible. Black text on a white background or white background is easier to read. There are a lot of hard to read pages that use the same origins as the shadow of the text (dark text on a dark background and light the lamp), or what I call the "neon" look with the colors Vives color.Lea eager to use the tag and give your readers a font that is easy on the eyes. I still think it is unfortunate to see a great site full of content, then left in the default Times New Roman. Use a sans-serif font - arial and verdana are good choices, and then put "sans-serif" generic font in the last html tag attribute to cover all those who may not have a policy as a first or second choice choice.Browser Monitor compatibility and -. Lea more about making your web pages compatible with Microsoft Inteet Explorer (IE) and Netscape Navigator. After preparing a site, the test in both browsers and screen sizes or resolutions ondifferent. Typical is 80% of Inteet users in the browser Inteet Explorer, 80% with a resolution of 800 x 600, and most on a 15 "or 17" screen .... but can we really afford to look at your site to the poorest 20% of the market? The answer is NO. Make your website compatible with browsers and stupid "is optimized for ..." the site! Furthermore, the use of alt tags in your graphics for people who surf with images tued off, or on small browser that does not support Java them.Using - Personally, I like and use of Java in the design of the site. However, you must remember many people tu it off for one reason or another. Or are using a browser that does not support it.Therefore, if you use an engine java menu (nowadays very popular), it is better to have an alteate navigation.About The AuthorKim Eyer, of EyerStation.com WebSiteOwner publish the ezine for webmasters and small businesses.
