10 Tips to Create A Successful Website

Are you interested to create a website but do not have any idea where to begin? Well, it is perhaps the most important facet of a website. Although functionality and content are very essential but the design is something which draws attention of the users and compel them to use the site.

Let's get started! 

 1. Clarity and easy navigation: The design of the website must be very clear and easy to use. Users should be able to see and understand instantly what the site is all about.

 2. Concise: Make sure that the layout which you choose is concise. Never let users hung high and low for the navigation for your all significant content, or products. Make it user friendly.

 3. Colors & Text: The colors you choose must be eye-soothing and the text are easy to read. You may use stylish and artistic fonts but make sure it doesn't detract the user experience.

 4. Links: Be sure about the links and navigations are easy to follow. Users should feel easy to get their way round while following those links. Design must be consistent and do not contain link on the images (if really not required). Maintain a format and do not underline few links and leave the rest as it is. These things are very confusing and leave a bad impression.

 5. Engaging: Website should encourage users to explore the site and compels to read the content.

 6. In-sync with the product/service: Although it sounds very obvious but be sure to create a site that has a very clear picture that what is it all about. For an instance, if you have an e-commerce site, then create it in a way that users get to know that they will find the products they want just at a glimpse.

 7. Call for action: After visiting the website, make it very clear that what you want your user to do next. For e.g., you want your visitor to add the product to the shopping basket or want him to download the software or contact the concern person for any particular service.

 8. Social Networking: Use this platform to promote it and provide a link of the digital media sites such as Twitter, Facebook etc. Your actual customers are sitting there.

 9. Eye-catching visuals: As we all know a picture speaks a thousand words. You can use a few of them depending upon your requirement but make sure it does not affect the smooth functioning of the site which is really annoying to any user.

10. Returning visitors: The website must be worth coming back. It's important that you keep the appearance and feel of the site as well as the content fresh to attract as many visitors as you can.

 If you have programming skills and can write your own code then nothing would be better than this but in case you don't have any then don't get disheartened as plenty of affordable, quality online website developers are there who can assist you with this service like BlueApple. It is better if you avoid the free services. Hope you have heard the old saying, "You Get What You Pay For," and it is absolutely true in this case.

 Happy websiting!
