Taking Web Design To The Next Level

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.

My first tip to you is to have a favicon for your website, a favicon is that simple little icon next to your site's URL. If you have a unique icon it will get noticed and when people bookmark your site it will stand out from the others because of the favicon. You need to have consistency through your design and make sure every piece matches.

If you are creating a commercial website make sure to make the process of entering information on your site as easy and smooth as possible. People are naturally lazy and they like things to be simple and straightforward. If you have your site structured correctly your visitors will have a positive experience and will return in the future.

One thing to remember is to always make your designs consistent with the structure of a regular site. For example having a clickable logo is one standard thing many site owners use because is a common thing. Don't try to do stuff that might confuse your visitors, keep it simple and easy to follow for all your visitors.

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.
