A successful website doesn’t happen without a lot of careful planning, thought and experience. Here are some tips on effective website design.
Plan
Make sure you know what the aims for your website are and who your target audience is.
Consistency
Keep a consistent design throughout your websites’ pages. This is of particular importance to the navigation menu – don’t make it hard for a visitor to navigate their way around your site.
Use web-safe fonts
Make sure you use a web-safe font for body text, or a licensed font-face. This is because not all computers have the same fonts, so stick to the ones that are universal.
Hand-code with the correct use of HTML
Make sure your headings are in H1 tags, images have an alt tag and ideally navigation menus should use unordered lists (<li>). Style your site using CSS.
If possible, employ the services of a professional web design company in Sheffield, or your local area. Years of expertise in web design will really pay off for your site and business.
