In the web designing field, it is not true at all that “if you don’t have natural flair, you have to learn it” because in actuality, you really have to study it. You see, usually the passionate web design beginner would try to implement all the designs and images that he/she has thought of. That is normal and that is true for most but as time progresses, the newbie web designer would notice that the website hasn’t really achieved its full potential. It’s not that you can achieve the full potential of the web site at the beginning but having to consider the standards and theory of web designing, you can easily achieve that goal and you won’t have to waste extra effort.

So, here are some tips that will hopefully help you improve your Web Designs.

Have a Fool Proof Web Design

Navigation

Try to make your navigation to be clear and simple. Flash buttons are ok, as long as they don’t have too much animations and special effects. The main menu should either be on top or on the upper left side. If you put it anywhere than that, expect a confused and less interested visitor.

Meaningful Icons/Images

Another way to fool proof your web site is to use icons and images effectively. Images should be easy to distinguish and has a purpose behind it. For example the RSS icon, it shouldn’t have any other icon design than the common one that most people are used to because will not be able to find where your RSS button is and this could potentially increase the risk of missing potential customers and fans.

Fast Loading Time

How? Simple, optimize your RSS and use vector images but use as little as to no image at all! Any way, vector images have lower file sizes and has transparency, it’s perfect for making a low file size web site. Low file size just easily translate to fast loading time. What you need to do is just use color codes for backgrounds and use just your imagination and creativity. Effective use of colors and images would really make your web design look great, simple and fast. Best example is Twitter which, on their backgrounds, they just use color codes and the simple images are just vector graphics. Also notice Google, (aside from its powerful search engine) its simplicity and light design makes it a very popular search website.

Clean and organized advertisements

When you’re planning on making money with your website, be sure to properly place the ads. Advertisements drive a lot of people away. Avoid, pop up ads as it is one of the most annoying thing ever created in web advertisements.
