Do you plan on making or want to save a lot of money designing web pages? If you do, learn all you can.

If you are creating a website, make sure you view your site in different browsers. What you see on your screen may be different from what others see. Always go out of your way to discover what browsers are the most popular and design your site to work efficiently in all of them. You should also check your website from a variety of different computers to see how it looks as well.

Before going live, test your website against NoScript. Download NoScript and activate the Firefox extension. This will tell you if your website can be read. Some types of content, such as product ordering systems, won't work without scripts, however if your website looks completely blank without any scripts, you have work to do.

Do not use pop-ups. Customers are turned off by the constant advertising pop-up ads represent. Many people will close a website that brings pop-ups as soon as they can, no matter what size the site is. It's best to stay away from this type of ad to keep your visitors happy. If your web hosting company requires the use of pop-ups, consider moving to a new host.

Regardless of your target audience or what type of site you have, try to keep your loading time under ten seconds. Visitors want and deserve a sleek website that slides into their browsers fast. Your viewers want instant gratification, so you need to provide it.

Do some keyword research. The focus of your website should always be to give your users a quality experience, but you cannot do that if you are never seen. To ensure your site is successful, do your keyword research.

If you are designing a very large site, you should always include search capabilities. The best place to put your search box is on the top of your homepage. Shoot for the upper right corner. Users often expect to see a search box in this area and may want to search your site for the information they are looking for. If you can't code one yourself, Google and a few other websites offer free search functionality for websites with no programming required.

Free software exists that can help you set up your site. You can use a lot of free tools to assist your building of your website, so check into the software that is available to you. All you have to do is a little searching to find the best free tools for you.

Do not allow pop-up windows on your site. While popup adverts can help you to generate some income from your website, they are also likely to frustrate your visitors. Many visitors to your site may simply exit the site when faced with a pop-up. If this happens, they are unlikely to return.

You should now have a great start on the basics of website design and feel a little less confused by it. Now that some of the confusion has been taken out of the subject, you will need to make use of that knowledge to help you reach your goals with web design.

If you are designing websites for clients, you need to remember your clients' preference for website design. You can also give inputs and take approval before you design. You must be willing to revise your work if your clients' want you to revise.
 
When build website for myself, I do not spend a lot of time. but when I am designing website for my clients, I properly educate myself with my client's preferences. I always try to design website according to my client's taste.
