Part II of Some Basic Ways How to Improve Bad Website Design

During the next couple of Blogs we are going to discuss some basic ways how to improve on your Website or Blog.

Introduction

You're website or blog reads well and you are proud of it. But, you have tried and tried to create something that looks good and you can not seem to get it together. You are waiting for reviews but none have come your way. Your website or blog is a flop. Not to worry. You are not alone. You want to fix it but you do not have the big budget you need to hire a great web developer. Here are some simple ways you can do to improve your website or blog and get it into better shape.

a) Fix your fonts


The size and type of fonts you select will have an effect on how your readers takes in your information. What fonts should be used? San-serif fonts such as Arial and Verdana are popular choices for on-screen reading and keep the size in mind. The font size should be no smaller than 10 points and no larger than 14 points. You don't want your readers to read the information from across the room, but you don't want them squinting and leaning closer to the monitor either.

b) Clean backgrounds


The background textures and colors you choose have the ability to gauge the overall appeal of the website or blog. Lots of texture and graphics in the background can be distracting, and the more texture you add to the background, the less noticeable your text and images become. If you're going to use a color on the background, make sure there is a significant contrast between the background color and the text. Strike a good balance, or you may compromise the readability of the text. Make good choices. You will rarely go wrong with black text on a white background. It's crisp, clean, and easy to read. Be cautious when using darker and brighter colors such as red or yellow. They cause visual fatigue and the reader will lose their focus on the text.

Part I of Some Basic Ways How to Improve Bad Website Design

During the next couple of Blogs we are going to discuss some of the basic ways how to improve on your website or blog.

Introduction

You're website or blog reads well and you are proud of it. But, you have tried and tried to create something that looks good and you can not seem to get it together. You are waiting for reviews but none have come your way. Your website or blog is a flop. Not to worry. You are not alone. You want to fix it but you do not have the big budget. Here are some simple ways you can do to improve your blog or website and get it into better shape.

a) Balance your page

When users enter a website or blog, their focus first starts at the top left of the page and hovers there before slowly tracking to the right. Contrary to what many think, the web user is focused more on the text of the page, rather than images or graphics. This is where balance comes into place. Balance will not only make your page more visually appealing, but it will make your page easier to read and items easier to find. A good layout will help the objects on your page to flow.

b) Keep it simple


Less is more. Clean your website or blog up by removing all the unnecessary visual elements. This will allow important items to stand out. Leave some white space on the page. The illusion of space is visually pleasing, as well as easier to navigate. Otherwise, your visitor will get whiplash by darting their head from left to right in an attempt to look at all the information crammed on their screen, or worse, they will click on out of there in a hurry.
