When many people hear the term "web design", they often think
of hours of time and energy spend writing long lines of code and creating
graphical images for a website. Web design is easier than most people believe,
and the web design tips in the following article will prove just that.
Make sure your site passes the NoScript test. Download and activate the
NoScript extension for Firefox and see if your site is still readable. Some
content, such as ordering systems for products, can't work without scripts, but
if your site is simply blank with scripts turned off, that's bad news.
Don't force users to install strange BHOs. Many tech-savvy users won't
do it. Common offenders include unusual video players, image viewers, and
platforms for interactive games. For most standard use cases, there is a
trusted plugin, such as Windows Media Player or even Flash) that will do what
you want without driving away users.
Before you publish any web page, check it carefully for broken
links. Nothing is more frustrating to a visitor than clicking on a
link and being taken to an error page. You can check your links manually, or
there are programs that will scan your site for you and report any broken
links.
Do not use JavaScript more than you have to. Despite the advantages of
increased responsiveness and transparency, it may be problematic for many
users. All web browsers vary, and each one releases new versions on a regular
basis. All visitors won't have the most current version of the particular
browser they're utilizing. On top of this, some visitors will have JavaScript
disabled in their browsers. This means they'll have difficulty viewing your
site because of this.
As stated before, people think of hours of coding and creating images
when they think about web design. They don't realize that web design isn't as
complicated as they believe. Using the tips from this article, anyone will see
how easy web design is and use it to create their own website.
