			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All the businesses are now realizing that they should have an online presence besides their physical existence. And thus the importance &amp; needs for the efficient and professional web designers are increasing day by day.</p>
<p>
<p>To start the design for the websites you must keep some important things. The first thing that you should always keep in mind that web design differs from print design. So, you must plan on &#8220;WHAT TO INCLUDE&#8221; and &#8220;WHAT NOT TO INCLUDE&#8221; on your website.</p>
<p>
<p>So how do you build up a great website that sells? Let&#8217;s find it out.</p>
<p>
<p><strong>The Foundation</strong></p>
<p>
<p>Before building a house, it is necessary to build a proper foundation. Likewise, before design a website you should keep in mind these basic things.</p>
<p>
<p>a) Remember that you are designing your site for the impatient online reader. They do not have the patience to read the whole contents. Instead they scan through .So you should learn to apply features and techniques that catch the attention of the viewers. b) Uniformity is also important, while designing a web site. You should use features to which people are accustomed. c) The web site should be user friendly. It should use web-optimized graphics.</p>
<p>
<p><strong>The Superstructure</strong></p>
<p>
<p>Now we move on to the super structure that is the house itself or the website concerned. Just remember these tips and go on to create a great website.</p>
<p>
<p>1) The web site should load quickly and be easy to scan. These are the essential prerequisites of web designing.</p>
<p>
<p>2) While designing a web site, you should keep in mind the needs of the potential customers. People visit the web site with a specific purpose, to get a solution to their problems. So you should focus on providing people with the specific information. You should also ensure that no information is more than a few click away.</p>
<p>
<p>3) The graphics should be so styled as to fit the content and not vice-versa. Often web designers complain that the content is not suitable to the web design. But you should remember that it is also important for people to read the content. The content provides information about the services and products. So attention must not be diverted from the content at any cost.</p>
<p>
<p>4) You should choose a font style and color that can be easily read. Frequent use of bold fonts makes the page difficult to read. The background color should also be kept light. Otherwise the viewers will have difficulty in viewing the pages.</p>
<p>
<p>5) You should use customized graphics to make your website attractive. But the graphics should not divert the attention of the readers from the content. The graphics should serve as an appendage to the content, which should be the primary focus.</p>
<p>
<p>6) Blinking images are to be avoided. They distract the attention of the readers from the content. Some viewers also consider them to be a nuisance and cover up these flashing images in order to concentrate on the content.</p>
<p>
<p>7) Avoid broken links. Make sure that they do not occur on your website. Concentrate on the link architecture.</p>
<p>
<p> <img src='http://creativedragon.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> Use contrasting elements on your web site. Placing contrasting elements side by side will easily attract the attention of the visitors. It is in fact one of the basic elements of web designing.</p>
<p>
<p>9) You should remember that the content should be aesthetically pleasing. Yet it should have powerful functionality at the same time. The website should be capable of giving out the relevant information in the least possible time. That is what readers are most interested in.</p>
<p>
<p>10) Don&#8217;t concentrate all your attention on attractive graphics. Give an equal focus on page layout, error handling and structure.</p>
<p>
<p>11) Don&#8217;t repeat your titles and page headings. Page headings are instrumental in focusing viewer&#8217;s attention. Using the same headings will make them think that the information being provided is the same. This will decrease viewer retention.</p>
<p>
<p>12) You should make sure that the content and the page headings are grammatically correct. Incorrect grammar and syntax will reflect badly on the web site.</p>
<p>
<p>13) Lay stress on the keywords. Use of keywords help viewer&#8217;s to ascertain whether the site is important to them or not. Most visitors flick through a website. So infrequent use of keywords will make visitors skip over a web site, even though it might contain relevant information. Here the need of <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.brandmantra.net/">Web design with proper search engine optimization (SEO)</a> grows up and up.</p>
<p>
<p>14) Pay attention to your homepage. That is what the viewers will first see. The home page should be attractive and provide useful information. If it doesn&#8217;t satisfy the mentioned criteria then the readers will move on.</p>
<p>
<p>You must remember that the primary aim of website designing services is to focus on visitor&#8217;s needs. Design your web site in such a way as to direct the eye towards the important features. The less important ones should recede into the background. Web page designing is extremely challenging. Viewers take only a fraction of a second to decide whether a particular site will be useful to them or not. So you should hit the nail on the head immediately. The web site should be attractive, easy to read and easy to navigate. Adhering to the above guidelines will help you to build up a website that sells.</p>
<p>
<p>Design a web site means you must make a convincing presentation. You should not include too many graphics, pop-ups, and flashing gifs in your web design. These take a lot of time to load. Your website should be easy to navigate. You must remember that the attention span of the average viewer is very low. You have to grab the attention of the viewer immediately otherwise they will wander to other sites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A custom website design is always worthy and its importance shall never be underrated. Web design is defined as a process of perception, preparation, and execution, and it is important that this process is carried out effectively. Creating a custom website design requires skill that can take several years to master. An amateur without sufficient knowledge and experience cannot execute the task properly and hence only a skilled professional who has acquired abundant proficiency in this field is the right person who not only can give your website the required artistic appeal in its look and feel but along with it will ensure that your website has a professional look too. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Most importantly you need to remember the fact that your website primarily targets your visitors, who come seeking some kind of information. Your website will manipulate the user&#8217;s preliminary insight of the websiteâ€™s implication and convince them to survey deeper into your website. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Your website is the representative on your behalf and so it must expose your business and the products or services you provide positively facilitating the very purpose it is intended to accomplish. A custom web design should therefore should lay its optimal stress on the requirement of your customer both in terms of accessibility and information, thus providing immense help in effective decision-making.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Therefore, it is very much important that a custom website design is laid out in such a manner that the visitor can locate his required information easily and quickly, and need not look around for too long or may get lost in the website. Lack of a proper structure and information can put the visitor in a dilemma resulting him to leave your website within a few seconds not bothering to explore further into your website. Therefore the outcome being that you can loose a visitor, who could have possibly been your customer.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The fundamentals of custom web site design is not simply a combination of magnificent graphics and use of superb colors on the website, but alongside its grand appearance there are subtle factors that make your website proportionate thus carrying out the message for your business effectively and without a glitch. Few such helpful suggestions that should be considered in order to label a website as â€˜goodâ€™ are listed below:</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>a.	A clean and easy to use navigation is an essential criterion for a website. This is one of the most vital point to be taken into account while designing your website. The Homepage of the website should have a Top and a Left Navigation to provide the visitor a quick glance at the contents of your website. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>b.	The Homepage of a custom website design is linked from all the inner pages of your website via a â€˜homeâ€™ link on the website navigation menu, which ideally comprises of â€˜homeâ€™, â€˜about usâ€™, â€˜site mapâ€™ and â€˜contact usâ€™. But this can be different for different cases. Also the Logo of the website should ideally bear a link to the Homepage of the website. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>c.	â€™Site Mapâ€™ is one more very important aspect of a good custom website design. It gives a distinct perceptive to the visitor about the structure of your website like what are the major menus and what are the sub-menus located under those main menus etc. The visitor can simply select the page that he needs and can be there with a mere click of his mouse button. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In a nutshell, a custom website design associate the real worth of a website thus enormously affecting its performance. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>And what if you are not serious about your websiteâ€™s design and do not concentrate on it? </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>A flamboyantly designed website is sure to dissuade users from even entering your website. Also a design that is that has got nothing to do with the theme of the website can cause much harm. Endowing your visitors with poor quality design you can, be rest assured that you will in no way have visitors coming back to your website. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>So, why not give your site a custom website design with that â€˜professionalâ€™ element thus carrying out a sturdy message to your visitors about your sincerity and that they can trust you with their money for guaranteed quality results and absolute contentment. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the owner of an e-business, you can think of the Internet as a mall. Your website represents your individual store within that mall. Obviously you want a storefront that encourages customers to come inside and take a look around. Website design is the key to building a storefront that&#8217;s inviting, entertaining and easy to navigate. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
You don&#8217;t just want your potential customers to linger in the doorway. Entice them to come inside, and once they do, be sure you&#8217;ve got a website design that will hold their interest beyond the homepage. Here are six of the top tips for creating a winning website design. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Don&#8217;t use a website template. There can be a temptation on the part of e-business owners to build the website themselves with a template instead of hiring a professional website designer. Templates, though, greatly limit your ability to customize your site. Certain elements may not work within the predefined parameters of the template. When restricted in this way, you&#8217;re unlikely to wind up with a finished product that truly represents your unique identity as a business. Given that a website is all that potential customers have to judge an e-business on, a poorly designed website is not a chance you can take. By far the wisest course of action is to hire a professional website designer who can build you a site that will keep the customers coming. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Include &#8220;hands on&#8221; features in your website design. Interactive features engage your visitors and encourage them to spend more time at your website. Elements such as comment sections and message boards send the message that you care about what your customers have to say. Surveys and blogs are two other ways to make visitors part of the action. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Be judicious in your use of flash player. Flash player provides you with opportunities to present your marketing message to visitors in creative ways. However, it can also interfere with the functionality of your site. Because flash player takes several seconds to load, your opening page is probably not the best place to use it. Visitors can quickly lose their patience and move onto another site. If you use flash player, make it optional, so that it only loads if a visitor clicks on it. Also, use flash player to enhance your site, not as the main mode of communication. That way visitors who choose not to not use it will still understand your sales message. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Be selective about including pictures and other images. Large images, or too many images, can cause your page to load slowly the same way that flash player does. Thumbnails are a good alternative for a website that has a business-related need for a lot of pictures, such as an online catalog. Thumbnails take very little time to load, and your visitors can still see the larger picture by clicking on it. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Limit the amount of text on each page. Ideally, each page of your website will contain between 500 and 1000 words. The problem is not only that you&#8217;ll overwhelm your visitors with text, it can also hurt your search engine rankings. Typically spiders crawl only the first few paragraphs of a long page. The rest of the text is wasted for SEO purposes. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Hire a well-rounded website designer. In addition to website design, you need a designer who understands the principles of search engine optimization. A fantastic-looking site won&#8217;t do much for your business if it isn&#8217;t ranking well in the search engines. All search engines care about is content. Your website designer should know enough about search engine algorithms and SEO to help you develop the right content. This includes the proper use of tags and meta tags. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
* Before you hire a website designer, review the websites they&#8217;ve already created. It&#8217;s the same as asking a potential employee for references. When looking at the websites, put yourself in the customer&#8217;s shoes. Are the sites visually appealing? Are you coming across glitches, errors or broken links? How long do the pages take to download? Are they easy to navigate? To test the designer&#8217;s SEO skills, select a few keywords from the site and perform a Google search. How high does the site rank? Whatever your final assessment of the designer&#8217;s work, that is about the same quality you can expect for your own site. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The success of your business is firmly tied to the effectiveness of your website design. A site that&#8217;s attractive, interesting and error-free encourages visitors to browse. The longer a visitor stays on your website, the better chance you have of making them a customer!</p>
