What's in a domain name?

 Know
your target audience. Keep your target in mind when you design
your content. If your website is visited by people with dial-up modem
connections then designing a page that loads quickly is a key strategy
for success.
- Write relevant content
If it doesn't relate to your website topic, it doesn't belong on your
website. Visitors want information, and unless the information is relevant,
they won't read it.
- Keep your pages short.
According to Jakob Nielsen only 10% of users will scroll beyond the
first screen of text. Your message will be more effective if seen as
soon as the page is displayed.
- Avoid lots of text.
People don't read the Internet, they scan it.
- Use lists instead of paragraphs.
Lists are easier to scan than paragraphs, especially if you keep them
short.
- Write short sentences
Sentences should be as concise as you can make them. Use only the words
you need to get the essential information across.
- Keep images sizes small.
Flash animation and large images annoy people. If it takes too long
to download, many viewers will never see it - they will have browsed
somewhere else.
- Check spelling.
Use a spell checker, typos and spelling mistakes create a very poor
impression. Make sure you proofread everything you post on your website.
- Keep links current.
Check your outgoing links to make sure they are valid.
- Put contact information on your pages.
Your website should include an address, email and phone number as a
minimum. These should be easy to find, all in one place, on the ‘Contact
Details’ page of your website. Generally, people don’t trust
companies without basic contact details included on their websites.
