Here are some basics to understand
Writing Styles - Writing content for a website is very different than writing for a traditional advertising piece or printed ad. The use of hyper-links is a big difference even though great care needs to be taken to ensure that you are not sending site traffic away to someone else or reducing page rank by linking elsewhere.
Appearance of your page and proper use of fonts and colors – Here are some basics to consider
- Be careful if you elect to use varied backgrounds on your site. Select a pattern or color that does not compete or distract from your sites purpose and the focus on your content or offerings. Solid, pale colors are best, with black or very dark type.
- Use multicolor graphics or images to add visual appeal to your site look and feel. Be very careful to manage the size of these graphics so as not to increase load time and make the difficult for users to access.
- The effective use of white space on your website is essential for visual interest instead of graphics, where possible. Columns (including empty ones to create white space in a page format) can be effective.
