by cloud on Oct.21, 2009, under Web Designing

There are some basic strategies that have to be adopted in order to implement a good web design. Users will always go by the first impression of the website, so you have to be very careful in designing your product. We will give you certain tips on how to handle the design of a website.

•  Your website should be informative and self explanatory. Do not have very heavy duty content which is not understandable to most users. This will make it a very niche site and following will be very low. Make it comprehensive and lucid. It should be in very simple language. The layout and links should also be very simple to follow.

•  Never test a user’s patience. This is probably the worst thing one can do. Do not keep offering adwares, toolwares, etc to your users. This is very irritating and the reason why most sites adopting these techniques never work well. Be professional. Have a clean layout and approach to marketing.

•  Try to catch the user’s attention. This is a tough task as most people in today’s world are very impatient. Moreover they do not have much time in hand as well. They will not go through your entire website to see if it is good. Have both static and dynamic content to give your web design that extra edge.

•  Have lots of features. These may include articles, animations, songs, audio files, videos, snaps and just about anything interesting. These are extremely visually appealing and will have a very positive impact on your website and its fan following.

•  The writing style should be chosen with care. This is the defining factor of your website and cannot be ignored. Talk sense. Keep your articles brief and crisp. Do not write too much. Remember, your user has no time to waste.

•  Simplicity is a key factor. The simpler your site is the more followers you shall get, this is a thumb rule and should be practiced religiously by all designers.

•  Do not make the website too congested. Have sufficient amount of whitespace in the website. This not only has a visual impact on the user but also gives your site a soothing appearance. Too much content will only lead to congestion. And who on earth would want to read a congested website?

•  Be interactive and communicative with your users. Get their feedbacks. Have interactive software to add to your skills.

•  Follow the basic web designing conventions. It is good to be new and innovative but some conventions really help a lot. More so because a lot of users will not be able to handle a new kind of design. Thus again your website will end up becoming a very niche one.

•  Keep testing your web designs frequently to remove any kind of inconsistency. It is always possible to improve.

How To Start A Clean Website

by cloud on Sep.11, 2009, under Website Development

You want to start a website, but you don’t know where to begin. If you’re starting a business or simply looking to promote yourself or something you have to offer, then a quality website is crucial for your purposes.

Setting up Your Website with a Domain Name

It all begins with the domain name. The domain name is the signpost that directs people to your website. Just like you wouldn’t put up a misleading sign when trying to direct people to your store, you want to make sure that your domain name lets people know where you are and what you are about. You want a domain name that’s easy to remember, relatively short, describes your site and, perhaps most importantly, is easy to spell. Misspelled URLs on the Internet are an industry unto themselves. You want to make sure that people trying to put your domain name in their browser get directed to you, not to an empty page, or, worse yet, to your competitors who also have similar domain names.

Setting up Your Website with a Hosting Plan

Before your website can appear on the Internet, it needs to be hosted on a server. That’s where the right web hosting plan comes in. Web hosting plans vary somewhat by features, disk space and bandwidth, but you should pay special attention to the price since you will be incurring a monthly fee for the web hosting services. Start out with a budget hosting plan, which could also be called shared hosting, discount hosting or cheap hosting. Be aware that these plans are not cheaper due to any sacrifice in quality; the price is simply a reflection of how much of the host’s server you are using. A shared hosting plan means that the server is divided among a number of companies, and each gets their own part. There is no overlap, so assuming you have sufficient disk space and bandwidth, this is often a good hosting arrangement to start with.

Setting up Your Website with a Great Web Design

Naturally, you want your website to look great. If you can afford it, consult with a professional web designer to create a really modern look, or one that really captures the essence of your site. If you’re ambitious, you can design your website on your own, using a simple text web editor program like DreamWeaver.
