Top Tips for a great Website

 

  • Plan your website thoroughly, number of pages, page titles and design theme.
  • Build your website to your target audience, in terms of style and content.
  • Design consistency; keep the same design theme throughout your website.
  • Keep all related website files in the same folder/working directory. This allows you to find any files related to your website and to create a back-up easily.
  • Always use lowercase for your file/page name
  • Avoid using large or multiple graphics on the same page.
  • Use a popular font for your website text as not all computers have the same fonts installed.
  • Popular fonts are: Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana, Scan Serif, Tahoma.
  • Check your website on different PC's at different resolution settings. What might look good on your computer may not be the same as others.
  • Menu navigation should be very easy to use!
  • Titles and page heading are very important. Keep them different on all pages.
  • Meta keywords and met description should also be different and concise on all pages. Keep keywords down to around 10-15 related words and separate with a comma.
  • Never use a black background on a sales or selling website!
  • Always check spelling and grammar on your website copy text.
  • Always keep a back-up copy of all your website files on a CD which is kept somewhere safe!
