Silver Springs Nevada Website Design Companeis
by Chase McMullen Marketing SpecialistIn today's time-crunched world, most people
literally don't have a minute to spare. This hurried pace extends to the realm
of website design -- your professional Web design must satisfy the demands of
users with a wide range of options for viewing the Web.
Even if you create a website design that's worth a wait, visitors
faced with slow download speed aren't likely to stick around. So how can you
make sure that time is on your side? Pay close attention to seven professional
Web design tips to create a website that won't slow your business down.
Clean up your code
While HTML text is much faster than graphic text, there are ways you
can make it even faster. Watch out for extraneous HTML coding – like spaces,
unnecessary tags and even white space -- that can increase the size of your
files. Remember that less is more, and use defaults for tags or remove them
wherever possible.
Compress your images
Images are a great example of how looks can be deceiving in
professional Web design. You might not realize just how much space they occupy
when you create a website design. By compressing your images before adding them
to your professional Web design, you can reduce/shrink a GIF or .JPEG image by
up to half its original size. You may also want to specify the height and
weight of your images in your HTML, which can decrease loading time.
Pay attention to page size
Even if you use all of the tips above, your page size may still be
big enough to cause a slow response when all the pieces of your website are put
together. Remember that less is often more in professional Web design, and use
only the content that is absolutely necessary. Ideal page size is around 30KB.
Limit use of flash
Flash is a classic example of style over substance and, while it
definitely has its place in professional Web design, it must be used sparingly
when you create a website. Even if your visitors have the right flash player
(and many won't), it will increase your site's download time. Flash is also one
of the Web site design elements that is not yet accessible to search engines,
which means it can only hinder your search engine optimization efforts.
Switch to CSS
Many Web designers now use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) instead of
the more traditional table layout. CSS is a styling language that has a dual
purpose in professional Web design: it can save you time when you create a
website and save your visitors time by drastically reducing page size and
download time.
Use thumbnails
Thumbnails are an especially helpful website design technique for
ecommerce websites. Provide customers with a small, fast-loading image of your
product and let them decide whether they want to view the larger version of the
image.
Reduce server requests
Any element of your design that loads from a different server –
whether it is a graphic, an audio clip, or an ad – will elicit an HTTP request
each time the page loads. Create a website with limited external content to
reduce loading time.
When you create a website design for your business, go the extra
mile to ensure your website has the speed your visitors need -- or risk getting
passed by.
