I understand how frustrating it can be for a website designer to limit his creative ability to create a website from search engine point of view. And likewise, it can be a real nightmare for an SEO, to optimize a website that is poorly designed and is a member of ‘usability hall of shame’. So let’s talk about some most essential principles of website designing (& usability):

Precedence (Guiding the eye)
Precedence is one most important characteristic that a successful website should have (if a high bounce rate is not an issue for the website owner). I believe that it is in the hands of a designer, how he controls the eyeballs of the visitor on his website. Yes, it depends on the requirement of the website owner, how much weight he would like to give to a particular section of a website.

Hello friends

Web design can be deceptively difficult, as it involves achieving a design that is both usable and pleasing, delivers information and builds brand, is technically sound and visually coherent.
Add to this the fact that many Web designers (myself included) are self-taught, that Web design is still novel enough to be only a side subject in many design institutions, and that the medium changes as frequently as the underlying technology does.
So today I’ve put together my 9 principles for good Web design. These are only my opinions and I’ve tried to link off to more reading on subjects so you don’t only hear my voice. Obviously, I have lots of disclaimers: rules are made to be broken, different types of design work differently, and I don’t always live up to my own advice. So please read these as they are intended–just some observations I am sharing…

Thanks to all friends

Creating a new website navigation is important.This is the design aspect closest to usability of a website, when the user gets lost on the website, wondering where to go? Make sure that this doesn’t happens to your visitor.
* Navigation: Buttons and other navigation items on the website should be easy to find, identify and understand.
* Orientation: ‘Top’ buttons, bread crumb navigation, back button, sub headings, sitemap and site search are some important elements of healthy orientation on a website.
