The 10 Do-Or-Die Rules of Web Design

1. Always KISS The saying goes Keep It Simple, Stupid. The biggest mistake is to overload a site, especially on its index page. Be clear and concise. As an example look to the world s most successful sites such as Google or Facebook. You only have a few second to engage the visitor. Make the most of it. 2. Be Übersichtlich Yeah, you don t have to try to pronounce it. It s a German word that basically means for something to be easily understood by looking at it once. You know what you are looking for right away and know where you need to go at a glance. Now apply this concept to web design. Got it? Good. It doesn t take an Übermensch to be übersichtlich. 3. Content is King No matter how simple your site is, it still needs content. Even if you have a basic product to sell, try to give your visitors something to read and look at. A regular flow of articles and posts will also help you in search engine ranking, and videos, free stuff to download and other things will keep visitors busy
