When it comes to running a successful business you need to use every marketing avenue possible. One of the ways you can promote and market your business is by having a web page. You can start by learning the basics of designing a web page.
Web page designing is fairly simple when you know the basics. You should approach the project just like you would any other design project. Remember, that the finished product needs to be informative and creative. The webpage will also need to have a layout that is easy to navigate. When they are too complicated, the attention of the user is lost. Users want to get information quickly and easily. When designing your web page remember the design basics, space and layout, colours and font and that ultimately you need to make sure that you are presenting your business in the right way.
Before you can become a master at web design you need to understand the basics. These basics will be the foundation of any website. This includes:
Good design. This is the first step to think about before building a web page. Think about what you want your it to say about your company and how you can accomplish that through the overall design. It is important to understand how many pages you will need for the overall website, which will be determined by the following points.
Structure. The structure of the web page and the design are not the same thing. The design is the concept and the structure is the back bone of the web page. This will include the navigation (which should be as simple as possible for the user). In basic terms, the structure is the way in which you choose to position different elements on the page. The way in which you choose to display your content and how your users will interact with the site will be determined by the structure. The main portions of your web page are divided into three sections; these are the header, the footer and the content.
Fonts. Choosing the correct font for your website can be extremely difficult. Remember that the content on your page needs to be easy to read, which is why a simple font is better. The content of your page will determine whether you attract business or not. This means that the content needs to be simple to read, easy to understand, informative and interesting. When it comes to the headings and important titles you can choose a more stylized font that will echo your businesses image.
Colours. If you have a specific colour that represents your business, for example the colours of your logo, these should be worked into the general colour scheme of your website. Remember, that some colours do not work well on a web page, if your colours are too bright or too dark it will be off putting to the user.
