The design of your website is very important if you want to build your brand and get people to your site: it is what helps you make the best impression. Even though there are many different factors that contribute to your website’s success, the first factor that makes a user stick around is your site’s design. So what do you need to do to make your site design as good as it can be? Let’s look at some things that you need to remember.

If you really want to go all out with your on page SEO, then assign filenames the particular keyword that page is optimized for. What will occur is the Google bot, because this is for them, will of course read your filenames and this will receive some small number of points for SEO ranking purposes. Your main keyword phrase for that page will go in the filename extension. Hyphens are the character to use when you are making your filenames. This is strictly a practice for the benefit of the search bots so they can read them easier. While this all by itself is nothing, really, but it will help your site with ranking ability and better listing in the right category by Google. Placement of Content: An important design element is the proper placement of content on your website; your visitors shouldn’t have to be faced with large blocks of text that are unreadable. You want all of your pages to have content that’s neat and easy to understand. Too much unbroken text can be exhausting and off-putting, so use white space as much as possible to create a more open feeling. If your site has lots of articles or other written content, you have to pay particular attention to this principle. The look and design of your content is actually just as important as the actual quality of the content, and will influence how long people stay on your site.

Once you’ve created the final design and everything’s live, you need to test everything out to make sure the changes are okay, and there’s nothing wrong. When you make edits, you really need to verify your changes have not broken the design of your site. But this also applies to smaller changes because you really never know if the change broke the format.

There’s much more to web design than what we discussed here; in reality, this is only the tip of the iceberg. As you start working on your web design and make tweaks from time to time, you’ll realize that successful web design is not a one-time thing, but an ongoing process.
