How To Design Compelling Web Page
Posted By - Mark Spenser

There are no magic spells for creating a successful website but there are surely certain eminent tips, if followed, can bring all the success to your website. Creation of the website primarily deals with the web pages which makes it all the more important to be careful while designing them. A good and compelling Web page design can be created by following these crucial points:

Offer All the Useful Information:

It is a well known fact that everybody surfs the internet for getting some or the other information, so make sure that your webpage provides with detailed information. The design of the webpage must be such that all the significant text and images are above the fold, as it is the first part on which your viewer’s eyes will land first. In fact, an ideal information sharing is when the visitor does not even have the need to scroll the page for understanding your business.

Easily Accessible:

There is no point in providing the information that is not understandable by the viewers. So, second important tip to bear in mind is to design a web page in such a way that is easily accessible for the visitor. The content must feel like all cluttered together on the single page. It should be legible and as well as beautiful to look at so that the viewer can stick on to it for a longer time.

This includes several significant things such as keep the length of the content limited with the usage of HTML tables in pixels instead of percentage. Keep a good width for a line of text, ideally 60 to 70 characters i.e. 400-500 pixels.

Cut short the paragraphs, avert the larger text blocks, make sub categories, hence create the webpage more aesthetically pleasing to look at.

Take Care of Color, Content, and Images:

If your webpage has relevant color images then be careful in selecting the background colors. If there is an image in the background then pay attention to the colors in the image and the color of the text.

Contrasting colors are generally preferable as they provide aesthetical charm to the page and also enable you to highlight the detail that you wish to be prominent. Blurring the background image, amalgamating text and images, and using contrasting colors are webpage design tactics that will help you to reduce the loading time of the page.

Give Headlines:

As the word itself suggests, it’s the head of all the lines and most of the visitors prefers to read it so wise thing to do is to create an effective headline. Well written and properly placed webpage headlines will grab the attention of the viewers and make them read further.

Sub-headings are also helpful in making the content more reader friendly. Therefore, make use of them too.

K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple, Stupid):

This is no longer a secret spell. Keeping the entire webpage simple will make it more captivating. Flash, Java and fancy graphics are good on the website but only when used wisely and not too excessively.

Keeping it simple includes a distinct and professional logo of your company, properly and easily navigational links, and pages. Use less of images and lower size of the page so that it downloads faster as no one would prefer to spend more than 30 seconds for your page to download.

Hope this helps for your successful webpage designing. However, the points given above are well experimented can bring you assured success.
