Designing a web site is very crucial that the site is attractive, fast-loading, user friendly, focuses on your content and has a high stickiness factor to it. Instead of making very complex designs with less content or bare designs with cluttered content, we recommend that you find the right balance between both. v Neat and Easy Navigation: Navigation of links on the site plays a big role in determining the stickiness of your site (how long your visitor stays and explores your site). v Clean Layout Design: A clean layout that uses a lot of white space enhances a site's looks. Try to keep the focus on your content, use a template for this. Use fonts that will be available on all computers to prevent your site looking messed up. v Optimum Load Time: The load time must be low, for that the following must be done.
? Minimize Graphics, Flash and scripts: This will hugely increase the file size.
?Optimize the HTML & script code: We must make sure that the site shouldn’t have any unwanted tags or unused scripts. ?Use Server Side Include (SSI) files: Where ever possible. SSI files once called from the web server reside in its cache so on subsequent requests they load faster. v Ensure Web site scalability: Make sure your code and design is scalable. As technology advances and configuration of computers & their monitors keep increasing and varying it is impossible to test your site in all screen sizes and platforms. v Cross Browser Compatible: Make sure to check the  site for Internet Explorer 5+, Mozilla Firefox 1.0, Opera 7.0 and Netscape Navigator 6+ as they constitute 95% of the world’s browsers. |
