Website Design Basics

Share the Article

A website must include:

Header — includes your logo, a tagline and often a means of contacting you: email address or telephone number.

Navigation — Most often seen as clickable text or graphics to the left in a stacked fashion or along the top horizontally placed under the header.

Main body — This is the main “guts” of a website. It’s a SHORT summary paragraph or 2 of what your company is offering, why people should trust you, how you are different.

Footer — Copyright info, links to the main sections of your website (often a repeat of the site’s navigation links).

  10. We’ve have done web design for over 5 years and have a few essential tips for everyone. First, do not overuse flash. This may be singing to the choir, but I can not explain you how many websiets I come through with these simple problems. Oh and one other tip, Make clicked links change color.

  11. Well I think that your argued subject is rather perceptive as it talks about lots of accurate data. In Any Event, was thinking whether you would want to interchange web links with my web space, as I am looking to build contacts to further expand and increase web exposure for my web site. I do not mind you setting my web links at the sitewide page, just getting this web links on this particular page is good and adequate. By the way, please be kind enough to contact me at my site if you are keen in exchanging links with me, I would really appreciate that. Thanks a lot and hope to get a reply from you as soon as possible!
