For many, good website design is a secondary concern. Some webmasters concern themselves more with content or web advertising than the actual presentation of their content; unfortunately this is a huge mistake. Just like meeting a person for the first time, seeing a website for the first time leaves a first impression that doesn't fade easily. As someone concerned with generating more traffic and holding a visitor's interest for longer than a few moments, website design can be an incredibly useful tool. Yes, original content is crucial as well, but the way you display that content on the page will also play a role in determining how seriously people take it and how they judge the rest of your website. This article will explore some basic tips you need to know about website design to improve existing sites and get more hits than ever before.
The most important thing to remember is that each site you have has a unique character and should appeal to a particular audience. Some websites appeal to a broader audience, some appeal to a niche audience, but every site is probably aiming for a certain type of person with particular characteristics. If you have enough self-awareness to carefully analyze your sites and figure out what the intended audience is exactly, you will have a much better time designing to fit this audience.
Many webmasters make the mistake of assuming that design has universal principles and creating a sort of website template that they use across a variety of sites that are advertising different products or presenting entirely different information. Instead of assuming that all people will like a specific design pattern, it is more useful to think about what is unique about a particular site or a particular audience. Is your audience experienced at using the web? Are they likely to enjoy certain graphics or color schemes more than others? Are they likely to have computers or web browsers that will support Flash, Shockwave, or Java? These are all questions you should be asking yourself when deciding on a design.
In addition to tailoring your site to your visitor's preferences, you should also consider tailoring your site to your own content or product. Often the audience and the product mesh well (if you are doing a proper job advertising your site), so accommodating the design constraints from both ends should not be difficult but should flow together naturally. If the design fit for the audience and the design fit for the site's product don't match, you should re-consider what traffic you're getting and perhaps begin to reach out to the people you feel are better suited for whatever content or product you are trying to advertise.
The lesson is that there is no universal template that works for everyone, and no trick that can be applied everywhere. It takes a lot of time and careful judgment on the part of the webmaster or design team to make decisions about how each site, or each page within the site, should be unique and eye-catching, yet continue to cater to an audience. The form of a website and its design continue to be important, so don't give up: continue to spend time on design and it will undoubtably pay off for you in the end.
