These days almost everyone understands just how important it is to have a website to promote your business online. Having a poor website design or having any old website just for the sake of having a website can actually hurt your online presence instead of improving it. Your website needs a design thats catching and easy to read, it must have the important content easily accessible and it must load fast and be search engine friendly.

Here are some tips to consider when considering website design –

1.       Fast speed: Not everyone has access to a fast internet connection. Your website design must load fast and not be overloaded with graphics or javascript causing it to load slowly. Google recently introduced site speed into its algorithm which means it will rank poorly sites that load slowly.

2.       The Font size: Is the text easy to read? Can anyone read the text or is your website design making it hard to read the text because its too small. It needs to be easily read and easily scannable. Remember the next competitors website is only a back click away.

3.       Choice of colour: Having bold, loud, colours in your website design may be attention grabbing but it will probably get you the wrong attention. If it hurts the eyes to look at your site because of the colour choice you will find your bounce rate will grow because visitors will not be able to stand your site’s website design.

4.       Cross platform compatibility: Your users have different operating systems, and browser versions, can it be viewed on all these sites? Do you know how your website design looks on a Macintosh as well as a Windows PC?

These are just some of the very important considerations when thinking about website design. At Website Design Sydney we specialise in providing websites that are both easy on the eye but also fast loading and search engine friendly enabling you to get online and promote yourself successfully.
