Web Design Best Practices

• Make sure you pages are set out in a straightforward manner and that your website makes sense (get somebody else to check it over for you before publishing). • Focus on User Experience: We avoid distracting auto- play sounds and cluttered layouts to ensure your visitors stay focused on your message • Don’t make the pages too busy with lots of different banners and pictures (especially the homepage). As the Meercats say keep it “Shimple”. • Don’t set your text with too much of the following: italics or bold characters and especially make sure words are not all capitals (UPPERCASE). • Avoid using too many colours in your web site: Keep the colour scheme of your web site limited to a couple of colours and keep it consistent across your site unless you want to denote some major section. • Your time is valuable. While DIY tools exist, we handle the technical complexities so you can focus on running your business • Data-Driven Insights: We help you skip the 'hit counters' and set up professional analytics so you can see exactly how many people are visiting and what they are looking for.
