Make Your Website Worth Their While

Creating a website and launching it live does not necessarily mean people are going to enjoy or even visit your site. It is essential to follow a few steps or guidelines to make your website known to the public and worth looking at. A good website can open up a whole world of opportunities for your business.

1) Don’t Make Users Think – Everything on your website should be clear, obvious and self- explanatory.
2) Don’t Squander The Users Patience – The less action is required from users to test a service, the more likely a random visitor is to actually try it out.
3) Manage to Focus Users’ Attention – Visuals are key. Images are more eye-catching than text, but text is used to provide content.
4) Strive For Feature Exposure – Letting the user clearly see what functions are available and can be completed in 1-2-3-done steps are the fundamental principles for successful user interface design.
5) Make Use of Effective Writing – It is necessary to adjust the writing styles to users’ preferences and browsing habits.
6) Strive For Simplicity – Users are rarely on a site to enjoy the design and are probably looking for information despite the design. Although visuals are important, “Keep it simple”.
7) Don’t Be Afraid of the White Space – White space reduces the cognitive load of visitors, but it makes it possible to take in more information presented on the screen.
8) Communicate Effectively With a “Visible Language” – Visible language is the content users see on the screen and it is important that they can organize, economize and further communicate the information given to them.
9) Conventions Are Our Friends – Conventional design can gain user’s confidence, trust, reliability, and prove your credibility.
10) Test Early, Test Often – Website design project usability tests often and provides crucial insights into problems and issues related to a given layout. Test not too late, not too little and not for the wrong reasons.
