Useful Tips for Effective Web Design

Listed below are some useful and rather important tips for designing a professional and high quality web site:
Neat and Easy Navigation: Navigation of links on your site plays a big role in determining the stickiness of your site (how long your visitor stays and explores your site). Ask yourself this, What do visitors do as soon as they open your site? They would probably read the content of the present page and then look around to find any other page that interests them.
Clean Layout Design: A clean layout that uses a lot of white space enhances a site's looks. Try to keep the focus on your content, use a template for this. Use fonts that will be available on all computers to prevent your site looking messed up
Optimum Load Time: Make sure your load time is low. For this you must :
Minimize Graphics, Flash and scripts: They hugely increase your file size.
Optimize your HTML & script code: Make sure that your site doesn't have any unwanted tags or unused scripts.Use Server Side Include (SSI) files where ever possible. SSI files once called from the web server reside in its cache so on subsequent requests they load faster.
Design for all Screen Resolutions: A site that is easy-to-use always encourages visitors to stay and read your content. For site with long pages of content this is very crucial as the amount of scrolling required is reduced. Suppose your site doesn't look good for a particular resolution it is very probable that the visitor will close the browser window feeling that the web page is not for their viewing. Designing stretch layouts that fit any screen resolution ensures that you know all your visitors see a visually appealing and professional site.
Ensure Web site scalability: Make sure your code and design is scalable. As technology advances and configuration of computers & their monitors keep increasing and varying it is impossible to test your site in all screen sizes and platforms.
Cross Browser Compatible: Make sure you check your site for Internet Explorer 5+, Mozilla Firefox 1.0, Opera 7.0 and Netscape Navigator 6+ as they constitute 95% of the worlds browsers.
Best Web Design Software/Tools:Having designed and programmed numerous web sites, we can confidently recommend the use of Adobe Software & Tools for web design and programming. The software tools we are going to elaborate on are Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, Adobe Fireworks CS3, Adobe Flash CS3 Professional, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium, Adobe Contribute CS3 and Adobe Photoshop CS3. They are so easy to use, beware you can get hooked on to them :

store your files on the internet

G-Mail drive:
A free internet based file storage system. GMail Drive creates a virtual file system on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to. Utilize the 2.5GB+ of GMail storage like an attached drive. A GMail account is required. you can download here.

Notes - If you are using the ZoneAlarm Security Suite (Not just the Standard or Pro versions of the Firewall), Web Filtering (Parental Control) has to be disabled for Windows Explorer or the drive will not be accessible. There are some limitations since this interacts with Google's GMail system, such as the total filename size must be less than 40 characters and the maximum file size that can be transferred is 10 MB. Changes in the GMail system may break the tool's ability to function. Make sure you are using the latest version, otherwise be patient and wait for a new version to be released. This usually only takes a few days.
