A Few Web Design Tips

Keep in mind these next few tips when you're designing a web site.

Upper Left Hand Corner

Always put your business logo on the upper left hand corner. Especially for English speaking customers, the upper left hand corner is the most valuable space. People have been conditioned to read from top left to bottom right and it's no different with web sites.

Just as computer applications put the most valuable command, the File command, on the upper left hand corner, you should also put the most valuable thing, your logo, there as well.

Big Links

Some users find small links hard to click on so you should make your links consist of more than one word. Also, don't make your cascading menu options too close to each other for the same reason.

The Fold

Regarding newspapers, above the fold refers to the stories that are above the crease the newspapers make so they will fit in newspaper vending machines. The story above the fold is what gets a person's attention while walking down the street.

To get more people to see your important information and content, place these data above the web design fold; this means put the content where users won't have to scroll down to see it.

Layout vs Interface

Because the homepage is the most important page, you should have several options to choose from regarding layout and graphics. Make several graphic designs and put them in a powerpoint slide. This will make it easier for your client to browse through and choose from.

Worry about the interface after having chosen a graphics layout/theme.
