Design an eye catching website
We all know that these days every one can design a website but the question remains how to design eye catching website . I have read many books ,articles and tutorials about web design and have realized that every web designer has his own way of designing websites.
After I read all of that and made extensive research , I decided to write something about it and to share some of my experience with you .
This is my first article and I must say I’m not a writer but I hope you will find it very informative.
Of course I wrote about something which you might already know about but I believe there is always someone out there who needs such information and tips and benefits from them .
In the article I have gathered and explained some good tips (Do’s and Don’t's) which will give you an astonishing results if you follow them well.
Below are the tips for designing an eye catching website which you will be proud of .
1. Consistency
It is always better to keep your design from page to page consistent so that the visitor knows that he is still in the same site and didn’t jump to another site.The page or site color scheme and navigation should be the same throughout the site.
2. Navigation
Always keep your navigation simple . Tell the visitor which page he is on . This can be done in many ways and the way which I think is the best way is to remove the link from the page which he is on .
For example, Let’s suppose that you have the following navigation text on your home page …
Home — About Us — Contact Us — Services — Order
Then suppose that the visitor clicked on the services page .
When the services page is loaded then the link which says services will not be a link instead it will be a normal text with different color . That helps the visitor know which page he is on .
If you are using graphic buttons then You can provide a different version of the button and make it without a link .
3. Use Browser Safe Colors
What are browser safe colors anyway? Browser safe colors are 216 colors which remain the same when displayed on any computer or browser.
Colors which are not browser safe may dither when displayed some computers ,meaning if a computer can’t display a color 100% it will then display the nearest color to it instead.
So make sure that you use browser safe colors throughout your site.
