Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

If you want to have a successful website, you must have a firm understanding of the best practices in web design. Effective web design will not only make your site pop, but can also make it a comfortable place for people to visit. When your visitors see this kind of website, they will be eager to visit again and again. The article below discusses some of the things you can do to be successful at web design.

If you want to maximize the potential of your website design, ensure that your pages appear correctly on all web browsers, so any visitor can view them. A webpage that displays properly using Internet Explorer, could appear incorrectly or poorly on a different browser such as Firefox or Chrome. Before you website is launched, test the display of each page in all major browsers.

A newsletter can help you to get more repeat visitors to you website. Having customers subscribe to your newsletter allows you to send them important updates about special events, which in turn can get them to keep visiting your site. Put the form in a convenient sidebar, and track the users who subscribe. Only send out a newsletter to people who have subscribed to it, otherwise you will have angry customers.

Make sure your domains, as well as your sub-domains, have taglines that are clearly visible. These tags should immediately draw the visitors’ eyes when the page loads. Good taglines are high on the page and formatted in large, clear text. This tagline will quickly inform them as to the page’s goal, offer, reasoning, or purpose and often determine whether they remain or click the “back” button.

The speed at which your web page loads is an important design factor. If Internet users have to wait a long time for your website to load, they will probably leave your site before it loads and vow never to return.

Design your website so that it will please the eye and be simple for users. If people don’t enjoy visiting your site, then they won’t. To avoid visitor frustration, streamline and simplify, while still presenting all needed information.

Try to include some “site searching” on your index page and sub-pages if you can. Site searching makes it easier for users to access information, and increases the overall usability of the site. You can include a search function easily, and it will greatly increase the utility of your site.

Make sure that you place a search box at the top of each of your webpages, and ensure that the input field is at least 26 characters. The search button should clearly be labelled “SEARCH”. Follow these tips to ensure that your visitors find and use the search box and can easily find information on your website.

There are quite a few advantages to solid design practices. Your site will look more professional and people will enjoy using it, trust your company and pay attention to your content. Good web design is the cornerstone of a successful website. This article has given you a broad range of design tips for your website. Use what you’ve just learned and design a successful website.
