Having A User Friendly Website

Written by Jean Sutherland


Having A User Friendly Website Let's look at what your user wants to see at your website.

1. No Flash

For many who visit your website time is money for you and for them. The last thing people need to see is a slow loading flash front page. Unless your flash page is very unique and interesting enough that it will hold their attention I suggest you loose it. For people on dialup, and yes there are many aroundrepparttar world, a flash page is a download nightmare for them.

2. Page Load Time

There is nothing worse than going to a website and waiting more than 15 seconds for that page to load. Many of your visitors don't haverepparttar 131658 time to wait for a web page to load and nor should they. Timewise, many people will go on to something else if your page is slow to load. Ten years ago 15 seconds and more might have been acceptable but in this day and age of high speed internet this is highly unacceptable. Check this free site for help with load time for your website.

3. Graphics

Do you hate it when your gonto a site for information and finding missing graphics. Worse than missing graphics are graphics that do not at least have an ALT tag which would at least give your visitor some idea of whatrepparttar 131659 graphic was about. When you have ALT tags it also allows search engines to recognize allrepparttar 131660 content on your site.

Userepparttar 131662 free link verification program at XENU http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html to ensure that all your graphics are loading.

4. Links Not Working

One of my major pet peeves is visiting a site and clicking on a link and finding it does not work. This is one ofrepparttar 131663 fastest ways to loose a potential customer. Broken links are something you should be checking on a daily basis. This is your bread and butter and you can not afford to loose even one potential customer.
