Your Website Should Be Easy To View

An important but sometimes neglected point in website construction, is ensuring that your website is easy to view.

This sounds like nit picking, however, have you ever visited a website with text so small, you need a magnifying glass to view it? How about a website where the color combination are so gaudy and obnoxious that you can't easily read the content?

Your website should be easy to view by your visitors, this is critical in promoting your site and attracting potential clients.

To ensure your website is easy to view, consider the following 5 suggestions.

1 - Don't clash colors on your website. Make sure they are easy on the eyes and do not distract form the content of your web site.

2 - Don't use excessive and distracting graphics. Excessive graphics not only distract from the "thrust" of your website, but also cause slow loading in browsers of visitors with slow Internet connections.

3 - Don't use excessive rich text formatting. Underlining,italics,and bold text all have their place, however, excessive use causes a website to look too "busy" and distracts from the overall quality.

4 - Don't forget to use plenty of space in your article content. Make sure that there is plenty of "white" space between your sentences. Make frequent paragraphs when writing your content. This makes the overall reading of content on your web page much easier on the eyes. You don't easily get lost when you have a lot of "white" in your text.

5 - Don't forget to use easily readable fonts. Your font size should be large enough for visitors to easily read, yet not overcoming to your reader. Extra large fonts look awkward on your web page, and are unnecessary. Too small fonts, make reading large article, a chore.

6 - Don't overuse colors in your fonts. Using colors to put exta emphasis on topics or words is just fine. Using colors unnecessarily in the content makes reading irritating to a visitor and can lose the idea that you are trying to present to the reader. Judicious use can enhance a web page but, just like anything else, too much of a good thing is NOT GOOD.

These 6 considerations should make your website easier to view, attract more visitors, and keep them!
