The design that goes into a website can help to determine if it will succeed or fail
.
The more appealing
your
design
,
layout and navigation, the more
likely
your visitors are
to
trust you, bookmark
your site and
return for more. However, a poorly designed website is unlikely to hold visitors
'
attention
for
more than a minute or two. You will find reading this article helpful when the time to design your website comes
.

You cannot expect much patience from your visitors
.
If they are stuck looking at an incomplete page for minutes on end while
your
content loads
,
they are quite
likely to
close
your site and
find what they
'
re looking
for
elsewhere
.

Do not underestimate the value of
a
website
that
loads fast, with no slowdowns
.
You cannot expect much patience from
your
visitors. If they are stuck looking at an incomplete page
for
minutes
on

your
content loads, they are quite likely

your site and

.
+
A search function should always be included when you develop
a
site
that
is very large
.
On
your
homepage in the corner to the upper right-hand, you can add a search box which lets users search
for
a term
on your
site. You can add search functions
to your site
with Google
and
FreeFind
.
-
Keep in mind that you shouldn't overuse JavaScript. JavaScript
does
open many doors when it comes to
website
design, but it can also close the door
to your website
for some visitors
.
No two web browsers are
the
same, and each one offers up new versions on a regular basis
.
Not all of your visitors will
have the
most recent version of the browser they are using
.
Also, some people browse with scripting turned off. Both
of
these mean users will
be
prevented from using the site you made
.
+
It
does
not matter how you have designed your
website
; you have
to
make sure that every file has a small file size. This is because the size of
your website
's files directly affects its loading time
.
You want
the
speediest load times possible
.
You must also be aware that everyone doesn't
have
a high speed connection to
the
Internet
.
Perform a test
of
your website to
be
sure that it will load quickly on every speed of internet connection
.
-
Large sites should always
have
search capabilities
.
It
is
best to put a search box in
the
top right corner right
of your
homepage
.
Make sure that anyone can search for any item that would be included in
your site
. You
can
add search functions
to
your site with Google and FreeFind
.
+
No matter how aesthetically designed your site is, make sure all files
have
smaller file sizes
.
This
is
because
the
speed
of your
website loading is directly influenced by the file sizes
.
You want
your site
to load as quickly as it
can
. Remember that not all visitors will have a high speed connection
to
the Internet. Run tests to ensure that even dial-up users report a smooth user experience
.
-
Avoid excessive use of
pop-up windows. The average user finds pop-up windows to be an annoying distraction, rather than something useful.
If your visitors become frustrated enough with pop-ups
,
they
may
permanently leave
your
website
.
+
Eliminate
pop-up windows
from all pages on your site to create a user-friendly experience
. The average user finds pop-up windows to be an annoying distraction, rather than something useful.
As a result
,
your users
may
just go away from
your
site, too angry to come back
.
-
Don't feel compelled to fill up every inch of screen
with
design elements. When you use all available pixels, the result
can be
an overwhelmingly cluttered website
.
Leaving space between different elements on your webpage could give your consumers
a
comfortable experience. Empty space plays an important part in
a
good design.
+
Begin your attempts at web design
with
simple sites that
can be
evaluated for potential problems
.
Start with
a
few basic pages containing
a
small amount of information, and then
make your
assessment
.

Most hosts provide design tools that
make
building a simple site easy, but these tools will not cover you when you want more advanced features. You want a site that truly reflects
your
personality and business image, and that requires some custom options not offered by these tools
.
+
Although the tools that a host makes available for web design can help you arrange your site's basic layout, you shouldn't rely on them exclusively. Make your site as personal as possible by tweaking or adding more features to the generic website you can create via the tools offered by your hosting service.
