Owning a website is like owning a home. When you design your website it is your intellectual property and belongs to you. However, this property sits in cyberspace along with all the other websites people have designed and put online. Therefore, if you are looking to make money from owning your own website it will be necessary to understand how to build, design, and create a fantastic website that will bring people back time and time again. Just keep in mind the first impression is a lasting impression so you need to make it your best work ever.

Your website will introduce you, your products and services to the world. When a person opens your website, it is the same as opening the door to your business. Therefore, when they step through the door you want to make sure they have the best experience possible. Therefore, the design of your store is just as important as the design of your website. There are some websites that just shout out at people and make them come back each day to visit to view the new content on the site. Then there are websites that turn people off and they refuse to visit again.

Here are 10 designing tips to help you build a website that will keep people coming back day after day to read your content and see what is new.

Tip 1: About and Contact Pages

The about and contact page should be easy to find. Normally, you should add these to your home page. This makes it easy for your customer to read about you, your company, and what you have to offer. The contact page of your site will make it easy for a person to contact you and leave feedback. This is one of the most important pages on your website.

When designing your about page, make sure that you tell people who you are, your experiences, what you have to offer, how long you have been in business. Give them a brief bio about your company and yourself. Don't bore them to death with a long drawn out bio. Keep it short and to the point.

Your contact page should include your email address and a form that makes it easy for a person to send you feedback or an inquiry. Give the personal information about your business, if you have a storefront, add your business address. Make sure you have a phone number on the page so that if a person has a problem it is easy to contact you.

Tip 2: Design an Attractive Website

When picking your design, make sure it is pleasing to the eye. You don't want a ton of bold or dark colors on your site. Keep the color cool and pleasing to the eye. Stay away from dark brown, dark green and black background colors on your site. This takes away from the content and makes it harder to read your site.

Tip 3: Keep Your Website Professional

If this is your business keep the content on your site professional. You don't want to clutter your website with useless and unprofessional information. The way you present your content on your website is just as important as the content you display. You must display your content in a professional manner and use professional images that enhance your content. People who visit the site love images. Make sure that you add images to each piece of content that is displayed on your website.

Tip 4: Designing Your Website Pages

Today it is mandatory to design a comprehensive website that is easy to navigate and view on any mobile device. Most website hosting companies have programs that are available to make it easy for you to complete this task. One of the best website designing tools to use is WordPress or Wix. The website templates are designed so it is easy for you to use them. Furthermore, the templates look great on all mobile devices. This is one less headache you need to worry about during the design phase of your new website.

Tip 5: Choose Your Text Font

Believe it or not, this is the most important decision you will make when you design your website. The font, size, and color play a major role in how a person reacts to your website. You must choose a font size the is easy to read by anyone who views your site online or through a mobile device. Stay away from fancy fonts that make it hard to read the text on your site. Only use colors for links and not for your text on your web pages. Don't make your font too small or too large. You don't want to make it hard for a person to read your text and on the other hand, you don't want to seem like you are shouting at a person.

Tip 6: When to Capitalize

This is very important when it comes to writing your content on your website. Overuse of capitalization is considered a no-no in the online world. You don't want to write entire sentences using only capital letters. You can use capital letters for one or two words if you want to emphasize a point. Otherwise, stay away from capital letters and only use them to start a new sentence.

Tip 7: The Important Use Of Grammar

This is so important and will play a major role in how your visitors view you and your website. A person doesn't want to read your text if it is filled with spelling errors, has tons of grammar problems, and makes you look illiterate. When you write your content for your site, make sure you check the content before posting it online. If you are not a strong writer, it is best to hire a person to write the content for you. This way your site will have a professional look and feel and anyone can easily read what you have to say.

Tip 8: Use of Background Images

In the past, many website designers used background images on their websites. This made the site look cluttered and took away from the content on the site. Today, it is advised to stay away from all background images on a website. However, you do need images on your site, just not background images. Keep your pages clean and use a light colored background to display your content. It makes it so much easier to read and has a professional look and feel.

Tip 9: Images Sizes and Use of Images

Google now wants a website page to have at least one image. The image size you should be using needs to fit within Google's image standards. Today Google requires that all website images are 1200x700 pixels. This is normally your featured images. If you are adding other images inside your text, there is no need to format the images to this size. When adding images to your pages, don't overuse images. Google looks for content and not a page that is filled with tons of images and not a lot of content. Unless you are writing a how-to article keep the images to a minimum on your pages.

Tip 10: The Use Of Frames

This is another no-no when designing a website. Using frames on your pages makes it look unprofessional and very hard to read. Keep your design simple, but attractive. Don't fall into the old habits of older websites and use frames or tons of flash on your site. Remember, you want your pages to look fresh and clean, easy to navigate, and have a professional look and feel. This is what makes a person want to visit your site again. Furthermore, don't add background music to your website. People hate this and will leave your site immediately.

You're aboslutely right here sir , i was using a website to earn but not they brought new design , the visibility of website has decreased , has become confusing , before it was easy & simple with new design , i am not able to understand my account as well , 100+ users complained & have went to other sites like me ..
i also stopped working , so i say design is ok but it can make or break a website in my thought

One more tip is clear value proposition. You need to think about everything properly. For example, Why does it exist? What's the purpose? This should be clearly communicated either explicitly or implicitly. Every design decision should revolve around that purpose. Be concise, cut away anything that might distract from the vision you've established. When a user lands on your site, it should be immediately clear what your site does and what your site is going to offer him/her. This could either be an obvious description of its purpose like in the example below. Whatever your value proposition is, it needs to be clear and make sense to your end user

[Damismiling]

This is absolutely correct, it's informative and helpful, especially for some one like me, an intermediate in web development, I hope to always use all this tips in my future website

 

[Teradonton]

I totally agree with the tips given here. I also liked the comparison of the website to home which is absolutely true. The design of the website is crucial, I know several websites with amazing content but ugly design. This really discourages even me, the person who is more concentrated on the content rather than form.

 

[Kashicage]

All the tips are great and very useful. I like the fact that the tip which is noone really talks about was mentioned. It is grammar. Who will ever confide in the website where there are lots of grammatical mistakes? You should definetely double check the content for these mistakes or you should buy some program which will track down all the mistakes automatically.
