Now that you have a basic understanding of what you want your website to accomplish, you can start concentrating on what you want it to look like. To that end, it is time to consider graphics. Graphics aren’t necessarily just eye-catching highlights; they can be integral to the overall user experience. Your layout may be based around a main graphic; your primary linking structure may be based on custom buttons. Your banner, logo, and miscellaneous images may all play their roles in drawing the eye to key links and content.

Whether you currently own a website or are thinking about having one designed for you, at some stage you’re going to have to review what content is available on your site. This process can take quite some time and the unfortunate truth is that often people get it wrong. It’s not just about looking at a bunch of your competitor’s sites and plagiarizing their ideas or jotting down whatever sounds appropriate and hoping for the best. There’s a lot more to it than that.

1) Select a single central image to provide a visual summary of your core subject at one look. For example, if you have a site to promote your screenplays, use the image of a writer working at her keyboard, or pages of a script flying over the famous HOLLYWOOD sign, etc.
2) Select a color palette appropriate for your subject matter. If you have a punk rock site, you can use black liberally. But if you are promoting a skin cream, green or pink might be a better choice than black.

The answer to that question is maybe! When I bought XSitePro at the beginning of May I had gone through a very frustrating few weeks trying to design several websites. Even more frustrating because I was designing sites for customers and myself 5 years ago but dropped out because of other commitments.
I decided to start up another Internet business earlier this year and couldn’t wait to get my own site up and running again. That was when my frustrations started. OK the sites that I designed before weren’t exactly top of the notch professional; they were sort of like the Grandma Moses of the Internet. But, they were attractive, easy to navigate, well visited and different!
