Website Designing Basics

16 Apr

With every business prospect aiming for a futuristic business approach and enhanced relationship building with the target customers; it is imperative to choose enhanced business methodologies that can facilitate consistent growth and profitability. Business management is correspondingly becoming more and more innovational wherein new found ideas are replacing conventional approaches and Internet is certainly one of the most sought after resource that has completely revolutionized the way of business management.

The foremost step to make the most of this wondrous resource is to establish web presence suitably in the form of a website or web portal that reflects your business idea perfectly and must be designed keeping up with emerging trends and aesthetic value. We shall be discussing some of the key elements that can help you in creating the perfect website for your business without facing any hassles.

Website Designing Basics

Website Design Basic 1: The first and foremost thing to keep in mind is the browser compatibility which means the website created must be duly viewable on all the web browsers available; Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera, to name a few. Pixilated imagery and illegible text are enough to put off the visitors if the web page designed is not adaptable with the chosen browser. The designing approach must be in sync with any kind of browser that the visitor chooses and must be created keeping in mind compatibility value.

Website Design Basic 2: Another important concern is the resolution support that would affect the screen resolution; with the popular ones ranging from 1024*768 to 640*480. Designing it in terms of pixels, would facilitate in viewing of the website and would make it comfortable for all browser users.

Website Design Basic 3: Page loading time is a huge concern that would determine whether or not your website is easily accessible or navigable. Extensive usage of Flash and heavy graphics would automatically make your web page heavy and would take all the time in the world to load.

Website Design Basic 4: Checking for broken links is also extremely important as any broken links uploaded on a website would reflect it in poor light and would also make the browsing process irksome for the visitor.

Website Design Basic 5: Simple looking neat designs can also fit the bill and requirement for your website and in the process, would also make it easier for the visitor to navigate through the website easily. This also brings to light the positioning of the controls and the layout of the website interface and making it suitably simpler for browsing through. Making use of footers and displaying the important links on every page would make navigation much easier.

Website Design Basic 6: Readability of the content placed on the website is also important as neatly arranged text would always make it simpler for any visitor to easily go through it. Certain fonts such as Comic Sans and Brush Script must be avoided as they might not be available on all computer systems. Therefore, sticking with commonly used and simple to read fonts always is a good option to consider for any designer. Unusually large sized fonts always make it unpleasant for the reader to read the specially drafted content.

Website Design Basic 7: Last but definitely not the least is effective usage of white space, which gives a neat look to the web page and also makes it aesthetically beautiful. Putting up too many animations and graphics on the website would make it look cluttered and messy and must be refrained from.

Designing a great looking and artfully designed website is not a herculean task. One must remember to add useful and qualitative content to the website that can attract visitor traffic repeatedly. Additionally, updating the  website content regularly and keeping in mind all the aforementioned points can certainly ensure creation of a superlative website that has mass appeal.

Type of content liked by kids in a website

05 Aug

Kids like content that is entertaining, funny, colorful, full of multimedia effects but make certain that the content is pertaining to their age though. It should be engaging, informative and yet simple so that the child can relate with it.

Kids do not read paragraphs of text, so keep the text to a minimum and use images to the max which can be of the water, trees, sky etc. or cartoon characters, bold and vivid fonts, colorful backgrounds as bright colors easily capture and hold a child’s attention for longer period of time.

It has been seen that animation and sound effects often create a good first impression that encourages kids to stay with a site as they are usually found scrubbing the screen with the mouse to enjoy the sound effects played by different screen elements.

We found bigger differences between boys and girls behavior. Most of the boys do not like reading the instructions and are attracted to loud colors, cool and funky stuff like cars, bikes, gadgets etc. and spent more time alone with computers. In contrast, girls like sites with good instructions, bright colors like pinks, relates more to fairy tale characters or dreamlands  and  spent more time using computers with a parent.

Websites aimed at kids are mostly Flash-based as it provides a great degree of interactivity, making the website more like a game or puzzle which kids enjoy. It should implement a number of elements and design principles that create an environment suited for a child’s personality and interests.

While designing a website directly for kids or towards parents one should keep in mind that the organization and layout of the site should be simple so as to provide a user with an experience that is intuitive, and gets users to what they want in the least number of clicks.

Dos and Don’t for Designing Kids websites:

05 Aug

Now a days millions of children use internet and the number is increasing day by day. Many websites specifically target children & even mainstream websites are adding “kids corner”.

Despite immense growth in users and services, very little is known about how children actually use websites or how to design sites which cater to their requirements?

At Interactive Bees while developing & designing websites we try and understand the target audience fully, their browsing behavior and then try developing the products which fulfill their requirements.

After doing an extensive research on what are the pre-requisites for kids websites, we realized that Kids are easily stumped by confusing sites, hence the website has to be very simple. Children are usually incapable of overcoming many usability problems and quite impatient so websites must avoid technical problems or crashes because when kids face an error message either they ignore them or close the window and simply leave the site or find something else to do.

While designing websites for kids certain navigational features which one should definitely keep in mind are:

Navigational Issues

The user interface for homepage design and navigation systems should be simple and straight forward and should let the kids get to the content as simply as possible. Use of funny images in the navigation should be encouraged as the children are naturally drawn to simple, obvious, and recognizable objects.

Avoid Inconsistent navigation options, where the same destination is referred to in different ways, causing visitors to reach the same feature repeatedly.

One should keep the language simple, as using fancy wordings and fonts in interfaces will confuse kids and prevent them from exploring that feature.
