To build your brand, attract site readers and make a great impression you need to recognize how important your web page design really is. Even though there are a lot of factors that come into play with the success of your website, the most important factor is the design of the site itself. So what do you need to do to make your site design as good as it can be? Let's look at some things that you need to remember.
Good Graphics: There shouldn't be any inconsistency in the graphics on your site: make sure that they are all the right sizes and definitions. Doing this allows you to completely optimize the design of your website so that it performs well and is better than the others out there. The truth is that it is easier to load pages that have good and consistent graphics.
Nicely defined graphics enhance the appeal as well as the performance of your website which will help it to work well across all of the browsers. Properly sized images lower the workload on your web browser and make loading time better.
RSS Auto-Discovery Code: this is the code that should be placed in your website header if you offer an RSS feed for your website (which you really should do). This makes it easier for the different browsers and RSS readers to automatically find your feed and let people know that they can use it. RSS feeds are a great way to get your content out there as well as let people know when you have made changes to your website so putting this feature in will make a major difference.
Favicons Can Help Your Site: Using a favicon (or favorite icon) is a seemingly minor feature that can make your site more appealing. You can easily brand your website and make it easier to find by having a favicon. This will allow you to have your logo to be displayed in the URL box. Whenever anyone bookmarks your site, the favicon will also appear, so you'll be able to make a special impression on people with this image.
Website design is a vast and huge area of study, but you do not need to learn it all to make a great site that people love. There really are no secrets with site design, so the information is readily available to you.
