10 Things All Webmasters Should Know
by: Lata Budhrani
Geared Up with
a website and lots of energy to make a mark
online? Spare some time and go through this.
You'll be glad you did. If you don't
already, this is something you MUST know!
1. Maintain an
easy to follow Navigational system
throughout your website.
2. Do not use
frames unless it's really important.
Visitors detest getting stuck up in frames
and Search Engines find it difficult to
index websites with frames.
3. Avoid using
scrollbars horizontally. There is nothing
more annoying than having to scroll both
vertically and horizontally at all screen
lengths.
4. A full
Flash Website may look very appealing, but
that's the last thing your visitors are
going to wait for to load. Instead try
embedding Flash on your pages to get the
same look.
5. To minimize
download time, use tables with different
background colors to add life to your pages,
instead of using too many graphics.
6. Do not
cluster too many animated buttons and
banners throughout your site. Your visitors
will not be able to browse comfortably with
all that blinking going on and will surf
elsewhere.
7. Keep
updating your website. People will not
return if they find the same old stuff lying
there.
8. Put up a
message board, feedback form, guestbook etc.
to add a touch of interactivity to your
website.
9. Make it a
point to return the visits and/or answer all
e-mails/messages within a reasonable period
of time.
10. Provide
links to other websites, even your
competitors, if possible. This shows you are
not conceited and are willing to help your
visitors to find what they need. This little
gesture goes a long way to earn you
goodwill.
