DO!
Web design has both do's and don'ts to make each website successful. The do's can create a postiive space that causes an influx of interest and cash as well perhaps. Below are a list of do's for website design, as Bloomsberg Business Weekly and I agree on.
1. Flash is cool, but don't overFlash! Animation and fun technological things associated with Flash are fun, as long as they are not used excessively. It is good to keep the website classy to some level, and an excessive amount of flash can seem to be just noise.
2. Don't hide irritants! We all hate pop'ups. Even if they pay the bills, find a nicer way to keep the site up rather than having unnecessary ads flash on the viewers screen.
3. Do not clutter the information and pictures Structure of a website is one of the most importants steps to make a strong website. It is the ground that the website is built on. Don't have it clutter, keep it clear and concise.
4. Don't give your site name or company an excessively strange name! Althought sites with strange names are popular (we all can think of some!), it is obvious that they will soon become outdated. Find a name that will consistently work throughout the ages.
5. Do not use glassy reflections with photos It is seen as a bit cliche to put a glassy reflection underneath photos of products. Cliche and outdated is what we are avoiding!
6. Typography again and again Plain text is coming back in. Companies such as craigslist realize that having simpler plain text is easier for the audience to read. Bring it back to simple!
7. Create a strong experience for audience It doesn't matter just what the site looks like. Websites need to draw audience in with what htey do. Socially networking is an example of how websites have used that to gain popularity.
8.Be Social! Websites like myspace and facebook are all over the place. It is even going into the professional world with linkedin. Keeping people social through technology is a way to keep us together in this new techynolgocailly changing world. Keep it social to keep an audience!
9. Embrace proven technology sites such as wikipedia and facebook that we all visit daily have become apart of the technological world. By using some of their elements in a websites design, it will make it stronger.
10.Content is the king of all things embrace it! Making a site beautiful doesn't make up for bad content. Make it intersting. Draw the audience in.
