Website Design Tips

Before building your website, use a keyword search tool and choose a theme based on those words that receives a lot of traffic or does not have much competition. Sitesell has a feature called brainstorm it, that works miracles.

Draw each page before you make it on the site. Keep these in a folder or notebook you can refer to later.

Important website design tips

Take it easy on the flash and animations. A couple are cute. A lot are overload and will not only turn people away but it will also slow down how long it takes to load your page, which will deter viewers and lower your site rank.

Always keep a copy of every photo, code and text you use. Nothing is worse than doing all that work just to loose it in a power surge.

Organize your files and update them regularly. Many people get two thirds into their building and can't find the right picture or code. Arrange you files according to your pages, one for each.

Use a host that has support. Most parts of website building are easy but if you dabble in html, you may need help.

Choose a simple design. How many sites have you been on that have so much writing, your eyes don't know where to start? Kiss. Keep it simple...

Make a copy, a backup of your site and burn it to a disk so you will have an offline copy in case something happens to your computer or website host.

Website design tips. Content

An seo article is worth three times any normal article. Not sure what seo is?

A good page has about 1000 words of text and two photos. For a higher rank, add another 500 words, one more photo, and a video. People love watching videos that demonstrate what they came from.

Write your own content. A lot of larger places buy the articles you see on their site but no one knows what you want better than you do. Write it yourself.

Use real subject matter. Pages with low content quality will not see regular or repeat traffic and will encourage google and Alexa to rank your site low, which means it will not come up high enough in the search engines to bring any views.

Website design tips. Making money

Once each page is done, use google adsense and tracking to monetize your site. It takes only a little time and if your site gets good traffic, (which is the goal, right?) then you'll make money from the ad revenue.

Add a blog and update it twice a week. People love to read what others are complaining or talking about. Write a great blog and then post it to Digg and other sites for more traffic. Once your blog is 30 days old and you have 10 posts, apply to get paid for blogging.

Sign up with Amazon.com and Ebay and place product links on a few of your pages. If a viewer clicks the link and buys the item, you make a commission from it.

Website design tips. Updating

Update your site monthly. Try to add fresh content or new pages during every update and check out your competition to stay aware of new ideas circulating that would work well for your theme.
