Here are a few web design tips for you to keep in mind when designing your website.
Upper Left Hand Corner
Always place your logo on the upper left hand corner because people are conditioned to read for left to right, top to bottom. Naturally, this is where people would look first.
In fact, this is why most computer applications have the File command there; because it's the most important command. The same applies with your website - place the most important thing, your logo, on the upper left hand corner.
Easy Links
Another web design tip is to make your links bigger. This means making your links consist of more than one word and making your cascading menu options farther apart from each other.
Above The Fold
The most important stories were always printed on the top half of newspapers. These stories were "above the fold."
The same applies to web design, only above the fold means the portion of the screen that the user can see without scrolling. Our third web design tip is to put the more valuable information above the web design fold because it gets seen more often than information below it.
Choose Layout Before Interface
Before starting on your homepage, build a few graphic layouts and place them in a powerpoint slide. Doing this will make browsing more convenient, before finally choosing a layout.
When doing this, don't worry about the interface. First choose a theme/graphics layout, and then worry about the interface.
