Web design is made up of some basic premises, and if you understand them you can design pages that will impress and illuminate your readers. here there is some tips for a nice webpage.

Before You Start Building a Website
Learn what you need in order to build a website for your business or for pleasure. There is more to building Web pages than just learning HTML and CSS. You need a hosting provide and a domain name.

Alignment in Web Page Layouts

Most web site templates perform page layout by using a few blocks of content, for instance a header, a left column with the navigation, a right column with the main content, and a footer. Simple Web page layout Any attempt to code this page must start by roughly positioning these four blocks of content. Style details can wait; first you should make sure that the content blocks are aligned correctly in all browsers on all

resolutions. There are two ways to do this: pure CSS and minimal tables. Although pure CSS is the best choice overall, it has its problems.
Advanced CSS

Customer Behavior- A Function of Simplicity Speed & Structure

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Often we come across online marketers talking about customer behavior. How it can be influenced to drive repeat traffic and Business eventually.

Three basic elements can make a repeat visit to your portal and that are:

Simplicity- Let your website speaks what its main objective without jazzy and swanky colors on it. If i have to give an example of a simple website in a travel space, the cleartrip wins the battle. And Makemytrip is far from matching that. Yatra comes in the middle.

Speed- Your website should open up quickly even on dial up. It should not take ages to download. Again use of heavy images, configuration codes etc should not slow down the website download speed. Worst site i have seen in terms of download speed is Travelguru.

Structure: How have you structured products on your website? Too much information kills user’s interest and make him early exit from a website. I would not take a breath and mention Moneycontrol’s name. Gush, what a website. I am defintely not a target audience for such banner filled website.
