Welcome From Your Publisher...
===============================================================
Hi everyone, we are still dealing with the subject of effective
web design, so the articles in today's issue deals with web
design. You dont have to be an expert to have an effective site.
Sometimes you can have the flashiest site and it still doesnt say
anything. Other sites look boring but it is straight and to the
point. For example, look at Craigs List
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/
The site looks very plain from a web designer's view, but if you
notice that it is to the point, you know exactly what the site is
about and the purpose. Now does that mean that your site has to
be plain to be effective, but remember when first designing the
site, you dont always have to keep up with the Internet Jones' if
you see your competitor redesign their site.
Maintain your customer service and offer a useful product and
people will always return. Soon we will talk about how to make
your site more effective through the use of scripts, rss feeds,
etc. Stay tuned...

Organizing Your Web Pages
=======================
By J.F. Lucero
Web design is not just simply adding pages to it. Web design is
organization and navigation. Whether you would like to design a
3-page website or 5-page website, you should organize every pages
and make it part of the whole. Think of your web pages as the
supporting beams of a house, it provides the structure on which
the visual design rests.
Each websites vary on the way each web pages are organized --
from a basic web page with paragraphs and headings to a more
complex web page that uses a newsletter-style design approach.
You must avoid designing one which has no clear organization or
you will suffer in the long run.
So how to organize each page? Let me give you some tips.
*Keep it Simple -- The emergence of new technologies and
the availability of free tools to carry out tasks to create
interactive sites with rotating images, embedded audio files,
videos, and animations have changed the way we design a website.
But if you don't have the right knowledge of how to use them,
this will just cause your pages to slow down. Remember that not
all users have the capability to view such web pages which
require high bandwidth. If you want to serve your audience
right, use them only if they further the goals of your web page's
content.
*Create content-driven web designs-- Your user comes to
your website because of information he is trying to look for.
Your website's primary goal is to give him a content that makes
him focus his attention. You should organize your web pages
using subheadings, emphasized text, and links that can help your
reader quickly understand the information you're trying to
present.
*Chunk your contents--If you have a long page of text, use
headings, bulleted lists, and other markup elements, break it
into chunks of information that are easier for your visitor to
understand. Adding images and dividing lines also make the web
page easier to read.
*Balance page length--Another issue when designing a page
is knowing when to cut your pages and create another one. Web
pages that scroll on forever will often lose the reader's
attention, and the page may end up taking a long time to
download. On the other hand, pages that are too short can also be
annoying to the readers because they have to keep clicking to the
next page to keep reading. Having more web pages also helps you
rank in search-engines. Search-engines love contents. It is
better to have 20 pages than to have 10 pages of contents.
To summarize, it's important to remember that your visitors are
likely looking for useful pages that offer them important or
entertaining information. At the same time, most people don't
enjoy reading long passages on a computer screen, so you'll want
to break things up along organizational lines with headings,
emphasized text, images, and other such elements. Finally,
remember that not all your visitors are even using a visual
browser.
*Presentation. Before you begin creating web pages within
your site, you should consider the best way to present your
materials. The layout should be carefully planned. Using
tables to do a mock-up layout are very much useful in this
sense. It would be helpful to consider how traditional
publications, such as books, newspapers, and magazines, organize
information. Organize pages logically, using subheadings within
topics, and breaking things up with images. You can do the same
things with a website, with the added advantages of hyperlinks
and multimedia. A newsletter or newspaper uses headings,
subheads, and sidebars to communicate information, as well as
images that are positioned with text wrapping around them.
If you're selling products or real estate, you might want to
create web pages that include pictures, descriptions, prices, and
so on. Like a mail-order catalog, you'll want all the pages to be
consistent, attractive, and easy for the reader to use.
If you are a beginner and want to build your first site, you
might also want to consider looking for a host that has on-line
site builder feature. This online site builder software uses a
user-friendly interface through a step by step navigator designed
for novice users. There are already many hosting sites that
include this feature in their hosting packages but you should
look for one that offers unlimited page creation without paying
extra fees monthly. Of course, you can design your own site
yourself but if you want to save time, you can make use of this
new feature instantly.
If you want a cheap web hosting for your on-line business, switch
to Profit Builder Club hosting. It 's a new hosting company that
does not only gives you superb hosting services but will also
teach you how to build a profit-building site.

Web Design Basics – Do You Know the 5 Essential Elements For Any
Web Site?
===============================
By Raymond Nesa
There are those that say that the world became a lot less
understandable with the arrival of “desktop publishing” and
multiple fonts. Everybody began to add bells and whistles to the
simplest documents.
To some extent this is just as true for web site development!
Before you get fancy and clever with the design or special
effects, make sure you’ve addressed a few web design basics.
It starts with good content. Make sure your site offers useful
and informative content. Visitors to your site aren’t looking
for an art gallery, they’re looking for information. Make sure
you give it to them.
Make it readable. The content won’t do much good if it’s
displayed in yellow on a white background, is in the smallest
possible type, or uses an unreadable font. This also includes
compatibility issues that make content unreadable – make sure
your site works on Microsoft’s Internet Explore, Mozilla, and
Apple’s Safari.
Add good navigation. If you’ve provided the content, make sure
your visitors can find it. That includes search engines trying
to catalog your site appropriately. Keep your menus and submenu
obvious and direct. Make sure links and cross-links are visible
and intuitive. Adding a site-map is always a good addendum to
helping both users and search engines find what they’re looking
for.
Keep it clean. It’s essential that your site has no bugs, no
dead-end links, no spelling errors, and no out-of-date data. In
all events, inspect and monitor your site content carefully.
Keep it simple. Web design basics are just that… basic. Don’t
use effects unless they add-value to your objectives. Using
elaborate effects, even using tools like Flash, often make your
site harder to use and harder to get to the information your
visitors are looking for. Likewise, don’t implement an elaborate
page structure when a simple one will do.
These essential web design basics boil down to common sense.
Paying attention to these four essentials is a good benchmark for
managing your own site.
