Web design Tutorial

This article takes a step back and deals with some of the fundamental questions/issues in web site design.

1. Do not use framesets in your web sites: They are not required in most cases and framesets will kill you with search engines.

2. Do not use a 'heavy' background in your web pages that distracts the users from what you are trying to present to them and makes the text hard to read. Remember what you are trying to do with your website, and I think for most, it is not trying to impress people with some tacky background tile. Keep it easy to read; there is a reason why solid colored text on a solid colored backgrounds are used often on web pages and in print.

3. Use sharp clear pictures: This is really important, a good looking web page can be made with just one clear sharp image and at the same time, the best looking web page can be made to look bad with just one crappy image.

4. Get sharp clear copy of your logo: If you are a company, you want to look professional so that people have confidence in giving you their money, a crappy looking logo isn?t going to do it.

5. Avoid the IE page transitions: IE (Internet Explorer) can create many special effects, things like page transitions (page wipes, etc. ?) are tempting and may be suitable sometimes, but for 99% of web sites they are not.
