Tips for creating good websites!!

2008 May 21

Whenever we plan for a website, we should never forget that,“SIMPLICITY IS THE BEST CITY”, e.g., Google Homepage, it is very simple in its looks but gets millions of user. So the main thing we should keep in our mind is that our user varies from professionals(who know how the page is coded) to newbies(who don’t know the ‘I’ of internet). Here goes some tips which may help you:

Tips for a good website

  • The main page of our site should be carefully designed. It must have very appropriate content.
  • It should have fast loading time. Mainly the images takes time while loading, so we can resize them according to our requirement.
  • The font size should be moderate(it should vary from area to area) and we should try to express our big views in less words.
  • The colors used should be pleasant to our eyes and it should not distract the user’s attention
  • All the links on a page should inform our user, its purpose.
  • While placing all the content we should take care it doesn’t spoils the looks of the page.
  • All content must be organized.
  • It is better if it is validated(W3C Validation).
  • Most important, it should run exactly same on any browser. Read this.
  • Last but not the least, all the scripts should be judiciously selected.

Most of the tips were given by Sach and rest are the result of my knowledge. Hats off to Sach :-)

    Hey guys, Cool tips,
    The main issue in creating a website is making a website Cross-browser (which can run in any browser), I think using proper use of CSS and XHTML we can acheive this,
    I mainly work with 3 browsers, FF, IE and Safari. So my opinion is, develop your website with firefox browser, which will run perfectly in FF and Safari, some problems arises with IE which we can solve using CSS and proper use of Markup.
    And also the Web Developer toolbar that Sachin mentioned above is an AWESOME toolbar for web developers, it help u in many ways, So try it and have fun..

    Thanks again for this cooool post.
    keep up the spirit..
