Nine Random Thoughts on Improving your Web Site.
By Brad Trupp (c) 2007
Here are 9 random thoughts on improving your web site --
- Get a Unique Logo. Your logo is your brand and identifies you. People remember pictures.
- Create a Tag-line. Tell everyone what you are all about -- in 8 words or less.
- Define a Distinct Layout. Create a consistent site layout that gives the impression of organization, ease of use, and professionalism.
- Use Whitespace Liberally. Keeps your web site easy to read. Remember -- less is almost always more -- and don't fill in every square inch of extra space with advertisements.
- Design for Scanners, not Readers. People read differently on the web. Blocks of content should jump out and be easy to spot with a quick glance at each page.
- Use Stock Photos. Make your web site look as professional. Not very many of us are graphic artists. I'm not.
- Check your Content for Typos. Nothing looses people's trust in a web site faster than typos do.
- Contact Information. Have contact information and make it easy to find -- especially if you are selling something. No one likes to deal with an anonymous site.
- Page Titles. Do not underestimate the power of the simple TITLE tag on your web pages to search engines. Make it meaningful.
I hope you find this short list helpful.
