The website designed by these software"s often lacks w3c standards and viewers and users often faces problem in viewing the pages. A team well dedicated
London web designers brings for you a simple post full of handy suggestions. Follow these steps as a rule of thumb.
- First start with the basic, most of the internet user uses dial up connections. The speed is not so fluent; this means if your pages will talk more time to load, you may lose your potential user. For this you should avoid loading web page with images and picture. I agree that images make the page eye catching, but what the hell looks will work if there is no viewer. So here follow the rule of the old saying. "Use that picture which is worth a thousand words". You should try to keep your page less than 30k. Never forget to give an Alternate Text for every image that you use for navigation. You should also focus on height and width attributes.
For the user friendly approach now there are browsers available that offers offer users a choice to turn off images
- Navigability & functionality come second after artistic excellence. Your artistic excellence will get fame only when you will find your user. To find user and make them permanent visitors, you need to provide them easy navigation and simple design. Accessibility should be your prime focus. For accessibility and navigation UK web design suggest you to follow KISS principle. It stands for Keep it simple, stupid!
- Third point is bit unique but handy and important. There are pages which require tables. These pages can"t be viewed until and unless the entire pages in not downloaded. This may take your user apart. Hence, to avoid such a situation, rip the table into two tables and let the top one be small. Provide navigational links and page header with it. This set up the mind of the user keeps them from leaving your site.
- You should be very much serious on cross browser compatibility and other standards so that you may experience a global approach.
- The text font also matters a lot. The ultra-jazzy font creates a headache for the user. And sometimes they might not have the font installed on their system. So prefer using common fonts. You should also keep the information and communication clear on websites. For instance if you gave a link which is going to open in new window inform your user.
Remember more you keep transparency on your website, more you will find user. This is the only Golden rule every web designers should follow.
