Web Design Analysis 5 Points to take note.

I promised that i will not make any of the posts on this site long and am hoping that i will keep my word on it. When it comes to Web design Analysis, Things get a bit too complicated. There are several factors which play a good amount of role and most of them requires deeper probe. The major points to take note while doing a web design analysis is as follows

1. Navigation : This is the most important part which is often not taken into consideration. A good navigation should be prominent and will be in one location through out the site. It should be easy for end users to move through the site at all times.

2. Graphics and Design : Making things a bit too gaudy could leave some of the users annoyed. Not everyone is a fan of art and you may have a bit of dissapointed users. Unless your website is Based on art (may be a web design company, Interior decorator, Artist) you should stick on to optimum design style. Avoid flash where possible. It may look good on your site but you yourself will get tired after a period of time.

3. Avoid Long Flowing text : Reserach proves that over 95% of the users dont read the entire content on any website. So you have to stick to points while writing content. Precise, Short content strikes well and would save the hassle for most users. This can also keep your users interested in your site and keep them coming for more. Think about Twitter… its all short text and is one of the most visited websites worldwide

4. Content for user : Many web designers will tell you to write content for the Search engines. Thats not true. Getting users interested is more important than getting google interested. Users may come from google but will leave faster if you do not deliver the appropriate content. Striking a balance in content is the trick to get good quality visitors to your site.

5. Usability : Make sure your designers will keep to the norms and standards. If your website meets the W3C standards, Chances are that your website is viewable to anyone with the latest browser or the older ones too. You should not be left behind when it comes to technology, Browsers and any thing which doesn’t concern you. Getting a site to work on Mobile phones is also evolving and you should consider the same.

That said, these are not the only things to consider when it comes to web design analysis. There are more. We will be covering a few more in another section.
