website due to the fact that you only need to change the style sheet as opposed to making alterationson every webpage.

Always utilize media and content that is both relative to your site's goal, but also interesting to thepotential consumers who will be viewing your site. A site that has relative info, but that is notinteresting, won't captivate its audience. A website that uses fun, but non-relative information, willcaptivate the wrong audience. Both methods equal profits that you are losing.

Make sure you are always on the lookout for as much information as you can grasp your mindaround when you're getting into website creation. There usually isn't anything that you can learnthat isn't going to benefit you in website design, unless the information you learn isn't true so beaware of this.

Allow for good spacing between elements, which will in turn, make the experience morepleasant for your visitors. Is a few cases, empty space could be as important as content.

Throughout the design process, you should perform useability tests periodically. Get impartialopinions about any new features you may add. Perhaps you think the loading speed of a video is fine,or that the colors are harmonious, but someone else might tell you otherwise. Ask someone who hasno interest in flattering you to give you an honest opinion.

Make sure your site has a tagline. When a visitor clicks onto your site, you only have a little bit oftime to hook them with your mission, purpose, and theme. A tagline should be short, clear, andexplain what your site is about so that a visitor will be intrigued and remain on your site.

Make the web page sizes the smallest they can be. This will help your site load much faster overall.The faster your pages load, the more likely your visitors will stick around to view more of your site.If your site is too bulky in terms of page size, you may be in danger of having your visitor bounce toanother website out of frustration.

Optimize every image you use for the web. If you look through the internet, you can find a lot ofexamples of images that are too large and they slow down the webpage's load time. Make sure youhave optimized each image you use. Save the image as a JPEG or GIF and aim for the file size to besomewhere between 5k and 20k.
