10 Tips for Fresh, In-Depth Web Design

labeeqa — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 07:45:23 +0000

Want to create a compelling website that will catch the attention of your visitors and keep them coming back? Here are a few important things to keep in mind:

Make Navigation Easy

Nobody wants to have to slog through page after page looking for one specific topic. Having a clear, quick way for visitors to navigate your site is essential. A well-designed navigation bar can also add visual interest. Make sure that navigation links are prominently placed so they are easy to find.

Include Dynamic Content

The days of the static website are over. Visitors want fresh, new content that can’t be found anywhere else. Whether you include a blog, add a news widget, or embed your Twitter feed, it never hurts to include something that is updated on a regular basis. Things like blogs also give you the opportunity to add dynamic visual interest to your site with pictures, headlines, and fresh, pertinent content.

Present Content Clearly

Since you have content that is updated on a regular basis, you want to make sure that it’s easy for visitors to read and understand that content. Instead of bogging down your site with large blocks of text, use style elements like bulleted lists to get your points across. Bullets catch visitors’ attention and convey that your content is accessible without hassle.

Don’t Rely on Image-Heavy Content

Quantity is not the same as quality. Filling your site with unnecessary images slows load time and can be distracting to your visitors. Oversized images detract from layout and may discourage those with slower internet connections.

Have an Eye-Catching Layout

You only get one chance to make a first impression with your website, so make it count! Have a layout that is going to interest visitors and make them want to stick around. Strive for a fresh layout that catches the eye without being overbearing or distracting. Make sure to check how your site looks in different browsers and at various screen resolutions.

Pay Attention to Detail

Regardless of whether you build your own site from the ground up or get some help from a site-building tool, adding small bits of visual interest can transform your site from dull to attention-grabbing without a lot of effort. Highlight your content with a few bold keywords, utilize subject headings, or break up big chunks of text into bulleted lists.

Color Scheme

Visitors need to be able to navigate your site and read your content without having to strain. Make sure to use a comfortable color scheme that makes text easy to read.

Element Placement

Where you put your content can be just as important as the content itself. If you have a pertinent picture or compelling information, don’t bury it at the bottom of the page! Use HTML and CSS or web building tools to place headings, important text, and pictures relative to each other in ways that will provide your visitors with the quickest, most attractive access to your site’s key information.

Be Unique

While keeping all of this in mind, it’s also important to consider what makes your site yours. What about it is different from other sites with similar content? Why should visitors come to you rather than going to other sites for information or products? Using the techniques and elements discussed above to make your site unique will keep people coming back to you, rather than navigating elsewhere.

Find a Reliable Web Hosting Company

None of these tips will be of any use if your site is constantly down. Make sure you find a reliable web hosting company with enough storage room and bandwidth to suit your needs. That way, your content will always be live, and visitors won’t be subject to loading errors, dead links, or failed downloads.

Following these simple guidelines will help keep your site fresh and noticeable, and will keep visitors coming back again and again.

75 Amazing CSS Navigations and Jquery Examples

admin — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 21:54:34 +0000

Navigation or Menu is a most imprtant part of website desiging but it is not easy to make. This is time taking job. Now you have to need something that you can use in your website and your visitors can easly navigate that.
jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.

AutoScroll for jQuery -allows for hotspot scrolling of web pages

JQuery BlockUI Plugin -lets you simulate synchronous behavior when using AJAX, without locking the browser. When activated, it will prevent user activity with the page (or part of the page) until it is deactivated. BlockUI adds elements to the DOM to give it both the appearance and behavior of blocking user interaction.

JQuery Curvy Corners- A plugin for rounded corners with smooth, anti-aliased corners.

JQuery iFrame Plugin – If javascript is turned off, it will just show a link to the content. Here is the code in action…

Sliding Panels For jQuery – Element can start open or closed and will be toggled from their own original position.

Page scroll bars have been removed since all the content is inside the splitter, and the splitter is anchored to the bottom of the window using an onresize event handler.

Sortables - You won’t believe how easy this code to make it easy to sort several lists, mix and match the lists, and send the information to a database.

Table Sorter Plugin - for turning a standard HTML table with THEAD and TBODY tags into a sortable table without page refreshes. It can successfully parse and sort many types of data including linked data in a cell.

Zebra Tables Demo -using jQuery to do zebra striping and row hovering, very NICE!!
