All about - Important Rules in Website Design
When it comes to your website, more attention should be paid to every detail to ensure that it functions optimally to serve its purpose. Here are seven major golden rules to observe your site, make sure it works well.
Do not use splash pages: Splash pages are the first page you see when you arrive at a Web site. They usually have a very beautiful image with words like “welcome” or “click here to enter.” Indeed, it is just that - quite vases no real purpose. Do not let your visitors have a reason to click the “back” button! Give them the value of your site in advance without splash page.
No excessive use of banner advertisements: Even the least knowledgeable net have trained people to ignore banner advertisements so you will be wasting valuable website real estate. Instead, provide more valuable content and weave relevant affiliate links in your content, and let your visitors feel that they want to buy instead of being pushed to buy.
Have a navigation simple and clear: you must provide a simple and easy navigation menu so that even a young child will know how to use it. Stay away from complicated menus in Flash or multi-level dropdown menus. If your visitors do not know how to navigate, they will leave your site.
Have a clear indication of where the user is: When visitors are deeply engrossed in browsing your site, you will want to make sure they know which part of the site they are in at that moment. That way, they will be able to browse relevant information or navigate to any section of the site easily. Don’t confuse your visitors because confusion means “abandon ship”!
Avoid using audio on your site: If your visitor is going to stay a long time at your site, reading your content, you will want to make sure they’re not annoyed by some audio looping on and on on your website. If you insist on adding audio, make sure they have some control over it — volume or muting controls would work fine.
