Posted by martin in : General , trackbackIn our previous posts, we discussed some simple ways to make sure your web design is effective. When making website, the latest software and cutting edge hardware are useless unless you follow some web design basics. Here is tip number 3 to help you make your web designs as effective as possible.
Web Design Killer: Open Space
Remember to look at your web design from the visitor’s point of view. Consider the amount of competition on the internet, sure, your web design needs to stick out. But if I am searching the internet for computer hardware and I arrive at your page, you are lucky. However, if I click on your ‘new hardware offers’ button and come to a page saying coming soon, then your luck just ran out. Nothing says unprofessional and unprepared like wide open dead space on your website.
Web design mistake: #3-Open Space
If you are guilty of this, dont take it personally. Of course you are eager to get your web design completed, you spent hours working with the software and want to broadcast your message as soon as possible. Good idea. But if you aren’t able to update your website with news, then maybe you should reconsider your web design strategy. It just means that maybe you aren’t ready for a ‘software news’ section. So in short, if the content is not available, don’t make the space until you are ready to fill it regularly. An “under construction” message is clever, but it will probably be the last time that user visits your website.
