Factors to be Consider In a Web Design



Factors to be Considered In a Web Design

Web design is one of the important factors that a site must have and there's a lot of things on it to make it stand out. Now I will going to tackle about those factors and I'll make sure that I can explain them one by one as simple as I can.

Here are the steps:

1.Use good color combination
   A lot of sites are struggling with this step and the web designer is the one who will be blame with this, that's why it's really important to hire a good web designer who is capable on matching and blending color combinations perfectly for the purpose of having a pleasant appearance to the theme and button design of the website. The font of the text must be proper   and somehow relevant to the niche of the website. "For example, if I'm doing a professional theme website, it's not good if I put a fancy font right? but what I will do is to pick a font which is professional to look at. Color is important because that's the one who is first to be seen by the visitors and if they see to it that the colors being used are not good there's the big chance wherein those vistors will not ever return back to your site. 

2.Easy navigation
   As much as possible use only simple navigation design bars wherein it is a text based type. To use flash, Javascripts or images are good but not all the time. Usually flash and Javascript is being used for those type of websites that offers entertainment stuffs such as video and   games. With my experience in doing naples web design I use CSS for the navigation bars because it provides good, efficient and simple look. You can try the use of CSS and there's a   lot of CSS tricks that you can play around in making your navigation bars.

3.Make use of CSS
   One of the great factor that CSS does is to make your website fast and easy to loads. The website will be also compatible to any kind of browsers wherein the look of your CSS made website is still consistent. What's really cool about CSS is the CSS layout definitions because even though your text format is not well arranged, it will be appear pleasant in the website. CSS is important especially to web designers because it makes the designing process of a website more faster.

4.Make use of PHP
   Well, we all know that the tradition way of creating a website is by the use of HTML but now we must rely also with the power of PHP. Although websites which are being created by the use PHP are a bit slow compare to those HTML websites, it will be still the best option to choose. Now you will ask why? My answer will be yes it's still the best thing to be use due to the fact that PHP provides really good functionality
and fast to load somehow but the thing is that PHP does not use database to get information. Many of the naples web designers use PHP and they found it to be really effective especially on those blogs, e-commerce and community websites.

5.Just do only a light design
   When it comes to the website design, first thing that we must consider is the purpose of the site because with that purpose we can see to it if we will use flash, Javascripts or a lot of images for the website. If a website is being build just for providing information and services then we can go for those text based type creation only without using those flashes, pictures and animations. Remember that flash, Javascripts and images are really hard to load because they depends on the browser which is being used and the internet connection speed too.

   One more thing is that website which are being build with the use of Javascripts and flashes are not search engine friendly site and if that will be the case then they are really hard to be index. Just a quick reminder: "Those search engine spiders does not read flashes and javascripts content but they scan on with those text and keywords to know what a website is all about".
