What exactly is "Good" web design?
-
Good web design is search engine-friendly and loads fast...
Having your website indexed by search engines is an important way to generate traffic.
It is also important to keep people's interest when they get there.
The majority of web users connect to the internet via 56k modem with typical download speeds ranging anywhere from 7 to 50kbps. Effective web design avoids presenting people with blank screens while huge Flash movies or images download. -
Good web design is clear and navigable...
The main reason for any website's existence is communication and if your site does not clearly present its information in a comprehensible structure, nobody will read it.
With magazines, people look at pictures to decide which articles to read, on the internet people read text first so it is important that people instantly see informative text on your web pages. -
Good web design is visually appealing...
A clear, professional website can greatly enhance public image and reaffirms credibility.
Well designed pages are easier and more inviting to read. Also, if your e-commerce site looks amateur or insecure, few people will trust you with their credit card information . -
Good web design is standards compliant...
The trend is that internet users continue to upgrade to newer browsers which conform more closely to web standards with every release. A well built page will display correctly in over 95% of the browsers it is viewed in. As time passes, non standards-compliant web design will have display problems in more and more browsers and will almost certainly need to be brought up to specifications eventually. Using valid HTML and CSS saves money.
Speaking of display problems: there is a persistent myth that websites should render correctly in 4.0 browsers. However, Internet Explorer 4.0 was released on November 7th 1997, Netscape Navigator 4.0 was released on December 29th of the same year and browsers of that vintage are used by less than an ever shrinking 0.6% of web surfers.
These browsers are quaint and historically important, but their limited functionality should not be allowed to impede good web design. They should be left to rest in peace.
If your online experience is giving you a head-ache, take two of these and call me in the morning:
Firefox ((almost) W3C standards-compliant
browser).
Flash Player (Macromedia's browser plug-in).
