The process of conceptualizing, planning, modeling, and executing electronic media content delivery through internet for interpretation and display by web based graphical user interfaces is called web designing. The purpose of web designing is to create a website that presents content to the end user in the form of web pages on request. Some of the commonly used elements in web design are as follows: text, forms, images, graphics, animations, videos, and sounds.

 

Remember the aim of creating a website is to present your ideas effectively in a fascinating manner. Professional looks of your website will reveal the seriousness of the subject in it. Once you have decided on the topic of your website, you can start building it. It is wise to begin with the home page first and then create the internal pages. As the home page is your primary weapon to impress visitors, care should be taken to make it attractive in every angle.

 

A professionally designed website should: 1) be easy to navigate, 2) be focused on the content, 3) have lots of white space that gives a smart look, 4) have properly organized elements, 5)  have legible and easily available fonts. The loading time of the website plays an important role in the success of a website. The loading time can be optimized by avoiding unwanted tags, scripts, heavy graphics, animations, etc. The layout should be designed in appealing and professional manner so that it fits any screen resolution.

 

Choose the right images and graphics to entice your target audience. Remember that pictures speak louder than words, and apt images are the effective sign posts that will guide the visitor across your website. As your website can be viewed on a variety of platforms and browsers, use platform independent programming languages like Java. Test your website for multi browser compatibility before hosting it as different users prefer different browsers.

 

Greatest importance should be given to the contents in your web page. Your content should be grammatically correct, clear, precise, and brief.  It should have crucial information that will make the visitors curious enough to click every link in your website. To emphasize a word or a phrase, use bold or italics style instead of all caps. Presenting relevant and reliable information with proper citations will impress visitors and also build the credibility of your website.

 

For elegant looks of your website, balancing graphics and text along with all other elements of the web page is vital. Improving the general appearance of your website with a few animated graphics is a good idea, but excessive use of graphics and animations will affect the loading time of your web page and can also distract the audience. Placing internal links for lengthy web pages and making it easy for the visitor to switch between the desired locations in the same page is a clever strategy.

 

Prior permission should be obtained before using any copyrighted material in your website and any copyrighted material used in your website should be duly acknowledged. This will improve the morals in the cyber world and also elevate your websites image.

 

Avoid the following while designing your website: excessive graphics, too many animations, bad color choice, grammatical and spelling errors, broken links, too many advertisements, and any unwanted element that will annoy the visitor.
