When selecting a background color for your web page, make sure you select a background that will compliment your text and overall design.

Selecting the Best Background for a Web Site

• Busy backgrounds make text difficult to read and draw the attention away from the text.
• Always be consistent with your background theme on each page of your web site
• Colors affect your mood and will have an effect on your visitors as well. Bright colors, such as yellow and orange, will cause you to become more cheerful or happy. While colors, such as blue and purple, have a calming effect. Dark colors such as brown and black may cause you to become depressed.

A good rule of thumb is to select colors based upon the type of affect you’re trying to achieve.

Selecting the Best Font Style for a Web Page

When selecting fonts for your text, keep in mind, reading on a computer screen is much more difficult than paper. Try to use a true type font, such as Arial or Verdana, and avoid fancy fonts that are difficult to read.

The appearance of your web site can mean the difference between your success and failure.

Nowadays, in this trendy world, people get very uptight when they do not look entirely presentable. This would also be the case in web designing.

Every individual would definitely want their website to look good, if not, to the best they can. Here are a few things we could look out for when wanting to create a professional looking webpage.

Color Schemes and Themes.

When designing, always choose matching colors. An example of a matching color would be to have a dark background, with visible words and designs. With the dark theme, try not to mix too many bright colors into the design. What we should NEVER do, is to mix two very different colors, such as purple and yellow. Now, of course, it would depend on the purpose of the website, but those two colors are too striking for one who wants it to look more professional.

Themes must always suit the company or rather, the organization / etc. If the website was made to cater for a food company, it would be wise to stick to that particular category, rather than to revert to a different theme, such as machinery.

Fonts should be used in regard to the formality of the website. A simple sans-serif font would suffice in most cases. Exceptional cases such as design and art groups might want to use fanciful designs and fonts. Of course, that’s only if you know what you’re doing.

Finally, we must always try to think of our visitors, see the way they see. The resolutions and file sizes of the pictures must not be too large in terms of size. This is to allow maximum compatibility and cater our visitor’s needs.

So, planning is something we should always do, before attempting something.
