The best Web site design for your Web site is the one you like best, but there are some things you will need to remember. Just because your Web site is pretty doesn't mean your readers will read it, or come back another day to read it again. Here are Web site design tips to help you help them to like your Web site.

Title - Make the title dazzling. A Web site title like "John's Web Site" is not very catchy. Without a title for your Web site that catches their eye they won't click on it. If your readers find a link to your Web site on search engines, or other lists, they probably won't click on it. Use a thesaurus to help you find unique, intriguing words to use in your Web site title.

Columns - How many columns you use in your Web pages changes your whole Web site. Usually when someone creates their first Web page their Web site design is something simple and pretty plain. A lot of people like to use two column Web pages for their Web site design so they can have their writing on one side of the Web page and their navigation on the other. This Web site design looks much better than the plain Web page and it makes your Web site easier to navigate. Then there's the 3 column Web page. This Web site design is not better or worse than the 2 column Web page. It's used if you have a lot of navigation or if you want an extra column for special writings or links on your Web pages.

Colors - Colors are very important in Web site design when it comes to looks and having people read your Web site. If your Web site design colors are boring, people will think your Web site is boring. If you use colors on your Web site that make your Web site's readers feel at home or like they're at their favorite restaurant, you will have readers that feel like they're going to find something they like.

Navigation - An important rule to follow in Web site design is that every Web page on your Web site should link back to your homepage. If you want to keep people on your Web site then you need to provide them with a way back to the beginning so they don't get lost and move on to another Web site.
Next you should create an index of some sort. You want people to be able to find what they are looking for easily on your Web site.

Some styles of Web site design put their navigation above the title, others put it at the bottom of the Web page, and many create a column especially for navigation. What will work best for your Web site is up to you, as you make sure people can see it without really having to look for it.


Content - Content is one of the most important thing when it comes to Web site design. If you don't provide good, valuable content on your Web site then no one will have a reason for visiting your Web site, not to mention read it. Your homepage should have information on it telling people about your Web site and why they should read it. Use this Web page to convince them that your Web site is worthwhile.
Create a bio page. Tell your readers about you, what you like to do and where you grew up? When someone comes to your Web site they want to know who they are reading about. This way, while they are reading your site they can make appropriate associations and understand you better.

Write! Do something new on a regular basis. People won't come back to a Web site that never changes. They might read through it once but if they don't notice that you update your Web site, they won't come back. The more often you update the better. Once a week is great, once a month should be your minimum. This is also a very important part of Web site design.

Use a fixed-position navigation format for easy navigation for your users. This allows you to lock the panel for navigation in place while users scroll. Not only do visitors find this convenient, but so do internet marketers who have calls to action they want in place.

Before you publish any web page, check it carefully for broken links. Nothing is more frustrating to a visitor than clicking on a link and being taken to an error page. You can check your links manually, or there are programs that will scan your site for you and report any broken links.

Break up long text blocks. Having a huge wave of text is unnecessary for any site, especially when you can break it up by using images, or even separating it into different pages. Boring your viewers will only make them leave, so keep things as simple and fresh as possible.

Whoever your target audience may be, loading time ought to be under ten seconds. A site that is designed well will only take a few seconds to load. If it takes too long, a visitor is simply going to become frustrated and go elsewhere.

The best web sites communicate a lot of information in a small amount of words. If you are long-winded, people will easily get bored and find another site that is more concise. Make sure any content is relevant and easy to understand – newspapers use an eighth grade reading level, which is the most common literacy level.

Organize your links and avoid putting too many links in one area of your site. Doing this can confuse visitors and make them leave your site. If you do have many low- to mid-importance links, emulate the “blogrolls” seen in many blogs and tuck them away in a column on the right side of the page.

Designing a website is possible if you are willing to acquire a few skills. There are some fundamental principles involved with web design that, once learned, help you to figure out the entire genre.
