TIPS ON WEB DESIGNING


Web designing involves creativity. Most people would think that it is all about the how the designing is done. However, being a web designer, a good one at that, should not just take into consideration how the whole finished product would look like. Although that would be the first thing that people would notice, there are other essentials that web designers should think of and should prioritize when designing a website.

In order to be sure that your web designing is going through the right path, make sure it is TUFF.

Time efficient

Do not cramp your website with too much graphics and details that it would cause loading problems. The last thing that you would want to have is a very beautiful website with no visitors. Admit it. People are lazy. They do not want to wait for your site to finish loading when they can view other sites in a matter of seconds. No amount of graphics would make them want to stay. So, to avoid this problem, keep the graphics and content at a minimum to avoid slow loading.

Utilize CSS

Table based websites are gone. CSS is the way to go. It offers answers to problems on being accessible, being reusable and being able to have a relatively not so big file size. Through CSS, users are given a wider range of control on how the website should look like. For beginners, especially those non-programmers, you can start with learning how to make hyperlinks, bullets and numbers and modifying texts.

Fits All

People should be able to access your website. You need to think if the graphics you are using would fit all screen resolution. Well, maybe not all, but majority of the users of the Internet world
. Your designing would all be futile if computers’ screen resolution will not be able to give justice to what you have done. Also, put into mind that technology is fast evolving. Thus, your design should still work well with any advances that would come or may be easy to adjust once new technology sets in. And, most importantly, do not limit your website to just one or two browsers.

Friendly to users

This means it should be easy to navigate and the layout should be easy to understand. Second to waiting, people do not like not knowing what to do and where to go. Unless people really need your site badly, they would not shed any effort figuring out how your website works if it’s too difficult to see at first glance.
