Website designing is a craft that only a few can master. All web designers must be talented and innovative, but some are more intricately engaged with their occupation than their counterparts. On account of an ever expanding number of web designers desiring to get into this profession, a big array of untruths have come up. Following are some such myths.
Myth #1: Flash is good
Flash is sophisticated software that increases the aesthetics of a web page but it isn't indispensable. Introducing flash to a web site is not the only way to beautify it. There are a number of other techniques such as introduction of different colors, cartoons and pictures that can improve the aesthetic semblance of a site. Additionally, flash is generally a large software that takes a considerable amount of time for being loaded on the page. Hence, the websites that incorporate flash take some extra time to load. Also, if you incorporate flash in a web site, the designer should provide an option of a non-flash version to users to enable fast transmission of information in case the internet connection of the user is slow.
Myth #2: Multiple colors make the site pretty
Most web designers want to use vivid colors to lend a touch of vibrancy to the web pages. However, using too many colors mars the overall impression of a site. It is advisable to make a careful selection and restrict the usage to an utmost of 3-5 colors per page. A single color may be utilized for highlighting the page hyper-links throughout a website to make it readable.
Myth #3: Images make the site attractive
Web designers prescribe the use of images for improving the overall attractiveness of a website. However, an overuse of images, cartoons or pictures ruins the sobriety of the web site, and may serve as a major turn off for the visitors. Additionally, web pages that include picture usually take longer to load. Since the attention span of the visitors is limited, needless clutter of images and delay in loading pages might prompt them to leave and move on to some other site.
Myth #4: Web pages look the same through multiple browsers
In contrast to the general belief, web sites tend to look different when viewed through different browsers. It thus becomes integral for website designers to view and review their sites using different browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc for ensuring clarity, good resolution and appeal. Nowadays more users are accessing the internet on their mobile phones. Hence, designers should also incorporate mobile browsers in their review of the web sites.
Myth #5: It is important to employ professionals for web designing
Undoubtedly, experienced web designers are much better versed with the intricacies of web designing than amateurs. However, it does not mean that beginners cannot learn and handle the tricks of the trade. With due time and continued devotion, amateurs may also try their hand at website designing and development. It is not the forte of professional designers only. If you are a novice and want to design and develop your website, by all means, go ahead and learn how to do it yourself.About Author:Daljeet Sidhu is at TradeSeam B2B Marketplace. Compare |
