In designing the web pages for a website you should adhere



to following rules:

1. Pages required: Your website must contain following pages:

* Feedback is necessary to obtain the suggestions of your

visitors.

* Contact us is necessary to establish a relation between you

and your visitors. You should provide your EMAIL so as

visitors should feel that will be given full support.

* About us page should be included in order to publish the

information about your organization. This information could be

year of setup, country from which you operate etc.

* Home page should be included where links to all the other

pages should be provided and the link to Home page should

also be given from all the other pages.

2. Basic Ideas: Website is like an introduction of your

company to perspective customers at distanced location. The

products or services that you offer to your customers should

all be displayed in a presentable manner. It is said that

first impression is the last impression and your website is

the first impression to your target potential customers. The

impression created by your website in visitor mind is not

enough to catch visitors attraction he will simply avoid

your website.

Your Website must be:

* Neat which means that site should not be overcrowded with

too many links.

* Organized means that the different contents from different

sections of website should be placed in different pages.

* Attractive means that the color selection for WebPages

should be as such that it should look nice. The background

color should be light and the design should be able to catch

visitor attention at first look.

* Truthfully, the only difference between you and web design

experts is time. If you'll invest a little more time in

reading, you'll be that much nearer to expert status when

it comes to web design.

* Professional means that unwanted contents should be avoided

and all like contents should be placed in proper headings in

pages. At first site it should be able to show the visitor

their interests for joining your website.

* Small size of WebPages means that too much flashy content

in desire to make webpage look attractive would increase the

size which will cause delay in opening at client site. And

the visitors will simply avoid surfing these type of

websites. So too much unnecessary flashy content should be

avoided.

3. Message: The first question is why anyone should surf your

website? If you are able to answer this question well your

website will be definitely entertained by visitors.

Visitors always look at their interest in surfing your website.

Remember most of visitors are not impressed free products and

services. If you could offer following:

* Entertainment which may include games etc.

* Information which may include latest business news etc.

* Links to other interesting sites.

* Your website should be simple enough to visitors for search

of products and services offered by you to them. And they

should be able to order theses products and services at their

convenience. Your website should also support large number of

payment options. The popular payment methods are: Credit card,

Paypal, Wire transfer etc. Adhering to any one payment option

will cause the visitor to betray which will defame your

organization.

4. Easy and Fast download: Your site should download on client

site in a few seconds. Market research shows that the average

number of surfer leaves a site that fails to load in 7 seconds.

only when you avoid large graphics and flash

animations. The Home page of your website should not annoy your

visitors with too much links and unwanted messages otherwise

5. Website text: Choice of words does not matter what matters

is appearance of words in WebPages. Dark texts in light

background will be an impressive scheme while dark background

chosen which are easily available on every computer. Some of

fonts are: Times New Roman, Arial, Courier and Garamond. In

the case visitor do not have required font installed on their

computer your message will not visible n their computer and

which will lose their interest in surfing your website.

visitors. You should highlight your privacy policy and

security aspects.
