With huge completion between companies
on the web, it is essential that you have what it takes to ensure
your company finds its rightful place at the top. For this, it is
important that you design your website in accordance with the
preference of the customers. In this article, we look at what your
website needs to have to attract visitors.
1. HTML5
HTML5 is the now and the future of web
development. It is the new standard for coding. It is very good at
cross browser compatibility and also extremely mobile friendly. It is
cleaner and smarter than other mark up languages and gives you a
better experience and faster loading time.
2. RESPONSIVE DESIGN
Make your design responsive to the
resolution of the device your visitor is browsing with and make it
applicable to the screen size
3. FONT
Font, font size, spacing between
letters and line height all have a big impact on how your visitor
feels when reading online. Larger font makes your site more clear and
easy to look at. Sans-Serif fonts are best suited for digital content
while you want your font size to be 16pt at a minimum and should go
even more to 20pt+ for best results.
4. FIXED NAVIGATION
Many websites now fix their navigation
menus to the top of your browser window so that the navigation
follows you as you scroll down the page. This helps the visitor
easily navigate your site at any time and gets
them to explore your
content deeper. For this to work best you should think about what
pages or posts you want to put into your navigation in order to best
present your site
5. LIVE SEARCH
Much like how Google works, upon
starting to type a search query your visitor will get a dropdown of
different options and search results. A couple of simple plugins are
available to get this functionality. Ajaxy live search and Dave’s
Wordpress live search are good examples.
6. SIMPLICITY IN DESIGN
If you keep in mind the above when you
design your website, and can implement them with efficacy, the
visitor stream won’t abate any time soon!
