Square buttons, round buttons, flashy buttons \u2026 will they match my shoes, my handbag or my tie? Are you stuck in a maze of buttons, headings, bullets, sub-headings and colour schemes?<\/p>\n
STOP!!!!<\/p>\n
Take a deep breath and read some practical tips for professional looking websites.<\/p>\n
1. Select a colour scheme and stick to it. <\/strong><\/p>\n If your company has a logo or preferred colours on its stationery that\u2019s a good start. For those of you starting from scratch, choose two or three complementary colours and stick with them \u2013 don\u2019t change colours on every page.<\/p>\n The most common colour schemes include:<\/p>\n – Red, yellow and white If you\u2019re not sure what colour scheme to choose, surf the internet and find a website that you like. You can then model your colour scheme on what already exists.<\/p>\n 2. Use templates.<\/strong><\/p>\n Can\u2019t find a website you really like? Another option is to choose a template. There are many templates or pre-set designs. These come as part of your web design software (such as FrontPage) or you can check out some websites that specialise in designing templates.<\/p>\n Visit:<\/p>\n www.web4business.com.au emplates1.htm 3. Provide an easy to use navigation system.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is one of the most important issues to consider when designing a website. You need to ensure your visitors can find what they are looking for easily. Most websites either display their navigation bar on the left or at the top. And since most people are used to this type of navigation, it\u2019s best to stick with it.<\/p>\n It also helps to include your navigation bar at the bottom of each page to save your visitors from having to scroll back to the top.<\/p>\n 4. Don\u2019t go overboard on special effects<\/strong><\/p>\n Whilst it is ok to have one or two special effects to jazz up your website, spinning graphics and logos often distract your visitor from the content, not to mention they can take too long to download. Your visitors may click away even before your spinning logo finishes loading. Ensure your visitors can read the text on the background, ie. no black writing on dark blue background or yellow on white. Also be careful that your links are visible before and after being visited. The default for links in most programs is blue (before being visited) and burgundy (after being visited), so if you have a dark background, ensure your links are light.<\/p>\n
