A good web design can give you an advantage for you business. A bad design can also hurt your business. Web Designs are sometimes over lookup in web development. But your web design affects your customers decisions and your overall performance.These few web design elements are the most seen elements that are missed in web designs.Less Images More Text for Content A problem with some web designers is that they don’t have any idea of Search Engine Optimization or SEO. Search Engines read your pages through your code. So if your text is images or you have non related content before your body content, the search engine is going to read it like that. This can keep you from getting traffic from search engines. Tables are out of date, slow and not search engine friendly, again please use CSS. If you don’t know CSS, take a couple of days and learn it. You will love it. Easier to update and manage for future changes.The Easiest Navigation is the Best Navigation Don’t change your navigation on your website. Keep it the same for every page. Each section or cateogory is unique, but does not need a different navigation. Your visitors shouldn’t have to think where or how to use your navigation. Always give a spot for your visitors to contact you. Putting a name, mailing address and phone number can give your visitors an extra push of trust to your business. Don’t use contact @website.com, this is an easy way to get spam. Each Page has a Different Page Title Placing something other than your business name in your page title can give you an advantage. Your page titles should be a small pitch of what your page is about. Placing your business name in your page title could take up space for relative keywords. Put something that describes your page and then your business name after your keywords.A Site Map Will Help Visitors and Search Engines And it helps search engines index your pages and strengthen your internal linking. A site map for those who don’t know is a one page that includes all your pages with links to them.Screen Resolutions Keep Changing You can destroy your website if you don’t watch the resolutions. It could be too big or too small depending on your market. Internet Browsers When your ready to launch your site, take a minute and check it out in all the major web browsers. There is no reason to excluded visitors or potential customers from your site.There are more than just these different elements in web design, but these are some that seem to be not implemented as often. If you adjust your web design to meet some or all of these elements you might be able to take the lead from your competitor.
