Category: Computers: Web Design

There are various attributes that go into the creation of a website and all this finally gives the visitor an impression of your website. After visiting the web site the visitor should stay on and go through more of it instead of getting bored and leaving the site immediately.  

 

How to improve the layout of your webpage:


The webpage layout either holds the attention of the visitor or loses their interest. The layout of your webpage is very important and this is what creates an impression on the screen of the monitor. It is not just the content that matters but also the look of your webpage. 

 

To hold the viewers attention put most of the information that is of value at the beginning of the page which the viewer can see at first glance. The paragraphs of the content should not be too long as this gives a boring look and no one wants to have to read large paragraphs to get information. The paragraphs should be a maximum of a hundred words. To get the viewers attention use bullets to mark important points. This also helps to get the viewers immediate attention focused on the points and registers them in their mind.

 

The size of your webpage:


Here again like the paragraphs, if the webpage is long and the viewer has to keep scrolling down, it may take a longer time to download and then go through it, and does not fare well when compared to short crisp information. It is better to keep the matter below 32K so that the loading time is not more than 10 seconds maximum. It is better to have internal navigation so that users can go directly to the information that they need instead of scrolling down to see it.

 

The importance of good navigation for your webpage:


What makes your webpage user friendly is the role of navigation. Make sure that the links for the navigation are at the beginning of the webpage and easy to access and should be uniform on every page. In case the website is complex, you could insert a search function for your webpage.

 

A legible web page with a default font:


It is always better to use the default fonts like Times new Roman, Ariel etc. which is easy on the eyes and more legible than some others. If the viewer finds difficulty in reading the text he may not linger on to read more information on you webpage at all. The format of the webpage is important and should be informative. For instance if the headings of the paragraphs are in bold print and in phrases that draw the viewers attention, it is more likely to be read. Light fonts on a dark background are also not advisable as this creates difficulties when reading.

 

The content of your webpage:


There is no doubt that the most important factor of your webpage is the content. This should be as informative as possible, though written briefly and not in long sentences and paragraphs; the language should be precise and correct with no spelling errors. If you go by all these basic techniques there is no reason why your webpage should not be ranked high and also hold the viewers interest.
