Web Sites Share Your Dream With The WorldTerry Nicholls With over 16 million web sites on the Internet, how do you get your home-based businesss site noticed There is much to discuss when it comes to web sites, but this article will consider some basic ideas for your web sites design. Ask three people for their Internet design opinions and youll get three different answers. One things for sure, though: K I S S Thats right, Keep It Simple Stupid. :- Web sites should have a clean, simple look with easy navigation and a logical layout. Nothing turns a visitor away quicker than being confused. If your visitors cant find what theyre looking for within a few seconds, theyll click to another site and never return to yours. Design Considerations Here are some things to keep in mind: Load Time -- Internet users are impatient. If it takes too long for your web pages to load, theyll go somewhere else. And, yes, 10 seconds is long! Graphics -- Too many graphics on your web sites also contribute to slow load times. Some people turn off the display of graphics in their browsers, which means you need to have ALT tags to tell them what the graphic is about. In addition, reduce the size of your graphics so that your web pages load quicker by using one of the free image reducers available on the Internet. Broken Links -- Web pages should work, so verify all links regularly to make sure youre not losing visitors out of frustration. Contact Information -- You must have a means for visitors to contact you clearly posted on your web sites. If theres a problem and your visitors cant get in touch with you, you could lose them forever. Spell Check -- It should be common sense, but it isnt. You should spell check your web pages before you put them on your site. Nothing says unprofessional like spelling mistakes throughout your web pages. And, for Petes sake, look at your web pages after theyre up on your site. Make sure they look the way you want them to look. Remember, you want your web site to be profitable, to help your home-based business to be as successful as it can be. Conclusion While there are many things to consider when setting up your web site, its worth the effort. Its absolutely necessary for you to have web space for your home-based business to succeed!
