There are many things you need to consider when getting your website designed. Below are a few tips to get you started.

When choosing images to put on your website, you should take in consideration that there are still many people who have very slow internet connection speed. It is better to keep your images small in size unless you are creating a photo album, but still the images can be compressed so they can load much faster. If you absolutely have to include high quality images on your website, you can try not to put more than one on a page. A visitor would probably just click the back button if a website takes too much time to load

2 – Limit Flash Animations

Flash is a great tool but should be used moderately. Recently, it has been shown that the search engine Google is able to index flash files.

3 – Include White Spaces

This is one thing that many website forget to take into consideration. Having enough white space on a page between elements is very important for the eye to “rest”. Also if a page is too cluttered it does not look professional. Remember to include white spaces whenever necessary.
