			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to look at a variety of mistakes that a lot of people make   with designing websites, whether DIY builds or when instructing a   designer. So here are my list of worst offending mistakes that often   happen!</p>
<p><strong>1. Don&#8217;t Check Browser Compatibility</strong><br />
    There is a   local web designer who obviously work in Internet Explorer. How can I   tell? Well all his websites look fine in Internet Explorer, but some   fail in Firefox. You must remember every time you build a website to   check it in different browsers, different versions of those browsers   (Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 are all still supported), different   operating systems and different sized screens. It is a pain, but they   don&#8217;t all render CSS the same way.</p>
<p><strong>2. Hide Important Details</strong><br />
    If   you want someone to buy from you, make sure that all of the required   features are there. I&#8217;ve had several designs arrive from graphic   designers who have forgotten to link to the shopping basket and recently   I was trying to book a hotel, but the one we wanted didn&#8217;t say what   times check-in and check-out were. So make sure all of the details to   complete a transaction are present!</p>
<p><strong>3. Play Some Music</strong><br />
    Let&#8217;s   face it, if someone wants to listen to music while they browse the   internet, they will have it on in the background. But if they are   browsing in the office or when everyone else is asleep, if your website   has music playing in the background it is the quickest way possible to   lose a visitor. It is great fun when someone opens a website with music   in an office &#8211; everyone knows they aren&#8217;t working. Not good for   completing the sale.</p>
<p><strong>4. Design For Widescreen</strong><br />
    If you   have a 1600 pixel wide screen don&#8217;t fill it &#8211; not unless you are using   floating widths! If a webpage needs to scroll horizontally on a standard   screen you are going to lose visitors. If they also have to scroll in   the traditional vertical direction, they will get lost. Design the page   to fit the majority of screens &#8211; either make it narrow enough to do this   or resize it for the screen width. But refer to point 1 &#8211; check the   page on different screen sizes!</p>
<p><strong>5. Plenty Of Movement</strong><br />
    We   are not at Hogwarts, so we don&#8217;t need everything we read to have moving   pictures. Have a look at some of the most popular sites and movement is   restricted to just the adverts. Why? Because it is a distraction! For   adverts it gets attention, but use too much movement on a screen and the   distraction will lose business.</p>
<p><strong>6. Don&#8217;t Read Your Work</strong><br />
    You&#8217;ve   typed it up and published it, so why read it? The amount of sites that I   see with spelling and grammatical errors is amazing. It doesn&#8217;t look   good to your visitors if words are misspelt. It gives an air of a rushed   job and they will loose faith in your business.</p>
<p><strong>7. Have   Different Styles On Every Page</strong><br />
    A little branding to differentiate   different categories and areas of the site is fine, but you shouldn&#8217;t   have each page markedly different. Keep the navigation in the same areas   of the page and keep the colour schemes consistent. If you do want to   change something, add a logo or badge.</p>
<p>There are plenty more tricks that you can do to upset your   readers, these are just some of the most common I have experienced in my <a target="_new" href="http://www.janric.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Merseyside Website   Design</a> career.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, if you&#8217;ve been in the web design game for quite some time you   already know the benefits of using Web design documents in your   projects. However, if you are brand-new to the industry or are   considering starting up a freelance business, then you might be   wondering why you need to use these at all.</p>
<p>Remember, that these   documents are not just contracts they run the gamut from design specs   such as wire framing to business contracts that set a date for   completion as well as payment terms,as well as a 1 to 2 page proposal   outlining how a particular site will function. indeed, web design   documents are of paramount importance both to the designer or developer   as well as his team and to the client.</p>
<p>But you might still be   wondering what why you should go through the extra effort and time to   create and use web design documents. Well first off, what design   documents are designed to save you time and effort and money. Reason   being is that with a set of properly done documents both you and the   client and his or her team know exactly what to expect in the coming   months.</p>
<p>Not only that, but if you find that the project gets off   track either due to missed deadlines missed payments or to what&#8217;s known   as scope creep, then you have documents that you can refer to that will   help you get the project back on track on time and on budget</p>
<p>Another   reason to use web design documents is for protection. It is much harder   for a client to stall, missed payments, or not to you at all when you   have a legal document that he or she has signed and it is also harder   for them to say that the site isn&#8217;t exactly what they wanted because you   will have other documents such as a proposal or wireframe to fall back   on in case you need it.</p>
<p>Conversely this will also protect the   client in case the web designer does not or has no intention of   finishing the project. Now, with that said, you might think that web   design documents such as these are difficult to create. However, there   are documents that you can use as templates for your business so that   you can spend the time not on creating contracts and postals but I&#8217;m   doing what you do best and that is to develop and design client   websites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For most of us the art for web design and web development may sound   simple and always a matter of ease! But in reality things can become   tough for you and you will surely require perfect web design developers   in order to accomplish web design and web development like tasks for   your website. However, it&#8217;s the theme and the purpose of the website   that always plays a vital part for web design and web development like   tasks. For an example, if you are initiating a website to spread out   information among the web visitors, then suggestively the designing part   of your website needs to be bit informative and relevant to the   information supplied.</p>
<p>If you are announcing such a website through   which you can sell products and services, then the designing part of   the website needs to based on selling point of view and sales undertone.   Apart from these things, there are also few other important aspects   which you need to look for and that can bring more values for your   website and its design part. Among all these important aspects graphics   and images for your website plays a significant part. These are the key   elements for any website that can bring in the right look and feel for   it.</p>
<p>In simple terms you can say that there are few important   factors that leaf the way for making a website more effective and   beautiful. However, its always vital to keep in mind that its your   website that will work as a perfect gateway through which your potential   customers will move for your business. In this regard the web design   developers can bring you more help. These are the professionals that can   generate some effective design for your website.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not all   about attractive design but it&#8217;s all about creating the most convenient   gateway for your customers to buy your products and services. In an   online market people now go for the custom web site design &amp;   development all along with how much of time it may take to load. As if   web site looks fine &amp; website loading time is very high visitors   still may not stay for very long time. In conclusion, quantity and   quality must go together and these factors described if work &amp;   interact with one another. All the tools should serve just one mission   of the web site- and it is the message for all site designers. Also,   there are lots of criteria that define quality of the websites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that you have finished designing your debut website on your   computer, you now need to put it on the internet where everyone can   access it. The reason for this is because it is of no use designing a   website, when it is not meant to be viewed on the internet. The usual   way to deliver files to a web server is by File Transfer Protocol (FTP)   after you have registered the domain name of your choice with a web   hosting company online. I think I need to explain what a web server   means. A web server is a computer that it permanently connected to the   internet. The major significance of such computer is its continuous   connection to the internet. This service is usually provided by web   hosting companies. These companies are licensed to register domain   names; they also host website files in order to make them visible on the   internet.</p>
<p>The process of transferring your website files to the   web server via FTP requires a User ID, password and FTP address for your   pages, which your web space provider would have given you probably with   FTP software also. Most HTML editing packages incorporate FTP software.   They also usually synchronize the content to ensure you have the same   files live and locally as well as check for broken links and dead files.</p>
<p>Majority   of people store their web pages on a devoted web hosting service as I   mentioned above. Nevertheless, once your computer is connected to the   internet, it can also serve as a Web or FTP server, just by running the   right software. You can even run your own server on a regular dial-up   account, though of course your pages or files will only be accessible   while you are online; and you will have a different IP address each time   you log in, so you won&#8217;t be able to pass it on until you are online.   This is operable enough if you just want to demo a couple of Web pages   to a friend. However, if you want a good Web presence, you will need a   permanent connection to run your own server.</p>
<p>It can be very easy   to install servers; you only need to get yourself familiar with the   instructions and you will be good at it in a short time. Very important   to set properly are the security options. These are needed to allow only   appropriate access to appropriate directories. Making your web pages   read-only and your FTP incoming write-only will be your best bet.   Anything different from these can get you hacked!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maybe you have wondered several times about how websites are built.   The fact is you are right on your way to build one for yourself. For   the fact that you even thought about it, you have started learning.   Building a website is easier than you might think. This is because there   are many types of software and tools out there that will assist you to   learn the easy way. To be very candid, you can even make use of   pre-built templates for your sites.</p>
<p>A website consists of   hypertext mark-up language documents or &#8220;HTML&#8221; documents. An HTML   document is made up of words, images and commands that all work together   to make a website accessible on the internet. Dozens of programs can   convert text to HTML in some manner. Most attempt it in a   what-you-see-is- what-you-get (WYSIWYG) mode, meaning you don&#8217;t have to   look at any of the under the cloak code. However well they succeed it is   worthwhile devoting sometime to learning the basics. While it is   simpler than computer programming in general, it is even more insistent   and tedious. So once you understand how it works, even though you will   do most of the work in a website editor, you will know enough to be able   to go in and tweak the raw code.</p>
<p>Creating a website from start   basically boils down to writing the page in plain text, adding &#8220;tags&#8221;   that make it look respectable, and creating links to other pages. As you   get into the more advanced levels you will also have to consider   whether the browsers that visit your page can construe your code.   Regrettably, these codes work differently in browsers; some code will   work alright in one browser but not in another. The smartest approach to   get familiar with how HTML functions is to create a simple page from   start. You will not need any composite software; a simple text editor   like notepad or simple text will work. Still, an HTML editor can help by   automating much of the process so you do not have to key in all the   code manually.</p>
<p>There are more than enough editors to choose from,   but your choices are dependent on the type of website you want to   create. Small, simple, static sites can be linked together with small   simple editors that come free with browsers. These free editors have   been tested and found reliable for your mini website needs. The fact   here is that you can at anytime make a search for the HTML editor of   your choice. If you will be building a website that is dynamic, you must   be prepared to spend a token in order to get the appropriate editor.   All these I still insist you can search online.</p>
