Basics of Web Design Principles

[frdsmth9]

Many of the apparent reasons could be lack of planning or inappropriate design elements. A well thought site never fails to click. To avoid this kind of situation it is very important for a web designer to plan things in advance and foresee the impact of the site.

Once things are planned, its time for the design elements to be taken care such as:

Layout

Simplicity is the key here. Keep the layout simple and straightforward. This will help you to build a site that is user friendly and accessible. Place the things that are most important and functionally basic to the site’s purpose at the forefront. Avoid clutter because it distracts the user.

Navigation bars

Keep the navigation of your site really simple. It is one of the determining factors to ensure traffic to the site. If a first time user of your site finds the navigation easy in the first couple of minutes of his contact, he will definitely come back.

It’s easy to make a terrible website. It's also easy to make a very nice, clean, professional-looking one, even if you don't have much design experience.

Now that you have had the chance to take a look at a range of good and bad website designs, you will hopefully see that unless you are amazingly gifted, the best way to learn about a subject like web design is to learn not only its central strengths but also its pitfalls.

I honestly agree with this stuff, but what about those clients who wants to give instructions as you go along.
