Swift loading designs for a web site – THE most essential guideline for every single web designer to follow as a thumb rule is to take into account the aspect of loading time of a site. In fact, even if a designer winds up designing a web site which may look just fantastic but then very few are actually going to see that if it involves a long loading time. The designs have to be appropriate for the web and under any circumstances must not load for more than 15 seconds. It has to be kept in mind that even if one might have a fantastic appearance in case of an extensive loading time few will be able to witness it.

The resolution compatibility – With the break neck speed of development in the area, toady one comes across computers which have different kinds and configurations of resolution. In fact, the range may begin from 640 x 480 to 800 x 600 to 1024 x 768 and it may even go higher. The designer must bear this in mind that his task is to create a site that is suitable for all of the above. To do the designing in terms of percentage instead of pixels would certainly be the finest way to accomplish the task.

Congruency with the web browsers – To design a site which would be compatible with all web browsers is again very important. In other words, the site must maintain the same appearance in Mozilla Firefox and also in Internet Explorer. Thus, it would be a highly imprudent thing to stop the designing job just because the site looks and feels fantastic on IE. More often than not browsers such as Netscape create certain troubles, particularly when one is dealing with complex designs in HTML. However, instead of simply getting fed up the giving up the task, one must deal with the issue patiently as they can straightforwardly be repaired if one is tolerant enough.

Minimal application of images – There re no second thoughts to the fact that the simplest of the designs are considered to be the most successful for the purpose of the web. Thus, keeping the web site straightforward and yet orderly is an essential task to accomplish. Cluttering up the page with large, colossal images must be avoided if possible since they always take long time to load. Instead of it, one can use a bit of creativity and design the page with elements such as tables, attractive icons, etc. which will inevitably attract the visitor to a certain portion of the web site. One must not forget that the majority of the web users are generally less interested in design and focuses on the content.
