Here are some simple steps to look after to create a site that is accessible and useful for the visitors.

Web Template Design

Web Template Design

a. Content
When a page is opened in a browser the first thing to notice is its contents. A usable Web site contains the higher possibilities of attracting potential customers. However, with most Web sites usually what your customer is looking for only constitutes between 50-60% or less. The rest is ads, confusing navigation, and extraneous graphics.

b. Page Lay Out
Closely related to content is how that content is displayed on the page. While studies have shown that people are willing to scroll to read through Web pages, if they don’t find relevant content quickly, they will be more likely to leave. Keep your pages clean and simple. Try removing elements, and see if your page needs them, if the page functions without them – take them out.

c. Colors
Colors can affect the usability of any Web site. Web browsers have standard colors that are used for links (blue for links, violet for visited links, and red for active links). When some other colors are used, the risk of confusion occurs. Also, colors of other elements of any page can affect the visitors. For example, color blind customers might not recognize color coded images.

d. HTML
The version-specific elements of HTML will automatically exclude some of the visitors. The only way to be absolutely usable is to limit you to HTML 1.0. The best solution is to avoid beta-level technology until it has been in use for at least one year.

e. Download Speed:
Access to the Internet may be getting faster, but that doesn’t mean that Web pages should get bigger. In fact, Web usability studies continue to show that the speed a page downloads is very important. After 10 seconds, a visitor loses interest in your page, no matter how interested they were in the topic. You can’t control all aspects of the download – so it’s important to do what you can.
