The design of your website is a significant part of its appeal. Many Internet users will simply click away from a website that isn’t aesthetically pleasing.

Things to keep in mind:

  1. Provide compelling and valuable information.
  2. Avoid auto-loading speaking ads and annoying flashy ads.
  3. Create navigation that’s easy to navigate.
  4. Use graphics with a small file size; load time can be the death of a website.
  5. Include your contact information so visitors can contact you if needed.

Color schemes are very important considerations. Certain colors just do not do well together.
