Simple Site Design Mistakes That Are Costly To Your Business

It is fascinating to note the incredible amount of tools and resources that exist for casual or professional web design. Nowadays, designing a website is not just about finding the right color combination, but it's about the complete usability of the site and how it is rendered to the end user. If you want to know about web design, then you need to know what to do and what to avoid.

In case you are not aware, the three major browsers you will find are Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome. If you want the very best results across the board, then just be sure all of your sites will look as they should in those three browsers. Unfortunately, people do not make their browsers all the same, and so it falls onto your shoulders to make sure your site is coded well. There really is no particular fault or blame for this, so just check your site in all three and proceed from the results.

If your URLs are totally beat and ugly, then if possible you should do something about it. With so many tools available to fix this issue, there is really no need to have ugly URLs. Yet, some people who own sites still have them, and that may or may not work against them.

Google has devalued the power of domains with keywords, but these domains are still a bit more powerful than having no keywords. Besides that, your visitors won't have problems understanding what your page is about by looking at the URL. There is also something that is unprofessional about those kinds of URLs, too. There are blog plugins, if you have a blog, that are designed to help out with URLs.

If you suddenly find that your site looks very "busy," then you are flirting with disaster with your bounce rate. You could get away with it if everything fits in terms of the need to be there, but you really have to be careful about it. But always test and look at your metrics and see what affects people, bounce rate, etc. If you need certain graphics, then make them smaller or something like that. How important something is will need to be called by you, and so that is why we feel testing is so important. You will need to clean up your site, if it needs it, and then proceed with testing as we frequently recommend because nothing beats it.

There you go! Simple mistakes that can be easily avoided if you don't lose focus.
