Website Design and bespoke programming for business users
One of the biggest mistakes in website design, both by professional programmers and first-timers, is that programmers try to make their websites too flashy. They include flashing banners and text and animated images. Big intros eat up bandwidth before users even get a chance to find the information they’re looking for. Colored text clashes with colored backgrounds and shimmering headers. Though all of these extras may show off your design chops, they’re going to make your website hard to navigate for users.
So, follow the golden rules of website design. Keep your site simple and easy to navigate. Be sure to link your pages internally; nothing is more frustrating to a user than having to navigate back to the front page every time they want to get to another area of your site. Colors are great, but pick a color scheme and stick with it. Make important content easy to find, and link every single page back to the home page. Follow these rules of thumb and you’ll keep your website from looking like a train wreck, and more people will listen to what you’re trying to tell them. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is also a vital factor to consider when designing a website, if nobody finds your website then it won’t be good for business
