10 Things All
Webmasters Should Know
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.
