Website Design Tips

Published January 2, 2012

Give them what they are looking for right on your front page. Some visitor that come to your website will stop at the Home Page unless you give them the reason to click farther. If you have a Blog Home page make sure your list of “Posts” are on your sidebar and the list should show more than the number of articles displayed on your front page. If you display 5 articles on your front page then list 10 or more. Also Categories and Tags are good to display in the sudebar so visitors can sort articles by Category and Tags or Keywords. If your site is setup with a fixed front page rather than a blog page then make sure you have easy to see links to the other pages that you want people to view. Make sure its right in front of their eyes and make sure your most important things are towards the top.
