attention When it comes to your website, extra should be paid to every minute detail to make sure it performs optimally to serve its purpose. Here are 7 important rules of thumb to observe to make sure your web performs well.
No using splash pages
So Splash pages are the first pages you see when you arrive at a website. They normally have a very beautiful image with words like "welcome" or "click here to enter". In fact, they are just that -- pretty vases with no real purpose. Do not let your visitors have a reason to click on the "back" button! Give them the value of your site up front without the splash page.
NO using excessive banner advertisements
Even the least net savvy people have trained themselves to ignore banner advertisements so you will be wasting valuable website real estate. Instead, provide more valueable content and weave relevant affiliate links into your content, and let your visitors feel that they want to buy instead of being pushed to buy.
How to using a simple and clear navigation
You have to provide a simple and very straightforward navigation menu so that even a young child will know how to use it. Stay away from complicated Flash based menus or multi-tiered dropdown menus. If your visitors don't know how to navigate, they will leave your site.
How to using a clear indication of where the user is
So When visitors are deeply engrossed in browsing your site, you will want to make sure they know which part of the site they are in at that moment. That way, they will be able to browse relevant information or navigate to any section of the site easily. Don't confuse your visitors because confusion means "abandon ship"!
No using audio on web site
If your visitor is going to stay a long time at your site, reading your content, you will want to make sure they're not annoyed by some audio looping on and on on your website. If you insist on adding audio, make sure they have some control over it -- volume or muting controls would work fine.
Not only should your Web site be easy to find, your contact information should be easy to find as well. People like to know that there is a person at the other end of a Web site who can help them in the event that:
They need answers to questions which are not readily available on your Web site; Some element on your site is not working and end users need to be able to tell you about it.
Web directory editors need you to modify parts of your site to be sure that your site is placed in the most relevant category.
A lot of people don’t like forms. It could be that a form doesn’t answer the specific need that they have. More frequently however, forms are generally time-consuming to complete and quite often request information that site visitors don’t wish to disclose.
