Concepts in Web Designing

The web is an interesting place to be in. It is highly populated. Now in this populated environment, you have to stand out…

This is the basic concept. There are two important dimensions to it: -

1. Eye ball
2. Stickiness

Eyeball refers to the power of your page to attract the tired eyeballs of a tired surfer. Stickiness refers to making that person visit your page again and again.

The eyeball factor is determined by: -

1. Color scheme
2. Graphics
3. Animations
4. Interactivity

The stickiness factor is determined by: -

1. Constantly updated content
2. Easy navigation system
3. Internal search, site-map, etc.
4. Interactivity

Eyeball and stickiness both are important. One of the most important ways of capturing ‘eyeball‘ and retaining it is to use interactivity. The user should not be kept a dummy in your site. I recently saw a woman site where the visitors can tell what groceries are available at her house, and the site will display the recipes that can be made through those stuff. Nice interactivity! Every second the user spends with the site, there should be a constant transfer of information from and to the site. Some forms of interactivity that can be added to your site are given below: -

1. Chat
2. Search engine
3. Guest book
4. Mailing List

Almost all these services are available free of cost, for a small list of sites providing such services visit indiWiz.com’s directory of web development resources.

As you now know the basic concepts, give your computer some work- make your site to a magnet attracting eyeballs, not letting them fall off!
