Keep It Clean. Keep it Simple

With repparttar

availability of more elaborate programs and features for website building, it seems that many webmasters, particularly those who are relatively new to Online Home Business and Marketing, have decided to concentrate more on how fancy their website looks like rather than what really matters. There seems to be some sort of contest to see how many ‘bells and whistles’ they can fit into repparttar 132433

limited space afforded a Home Page, while forgetting that repparttar 132434

primary reason for repparttar 132435

website’s existence is to earn them income.

Of course, appearance is important. A professionally constructed website with an attractive look, combined with repparttar 132436 right level of functionality, will always be an asset to any Online Business but you can go too far in repparttar 132437 ‘fancy dress’ department and it would seem that many do.

Occasionally, I visit a couple of Forums, which among other things, also have an area where ‘learner webmasters’ can request a review of their website from repparttar 132438 more experienced in repparttar 132439 forum membership. I am by no means an expert on website building and I certainly don’t see myself as an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) guru either. These are repparttar 132440 two main areas of expertise that one would imagine are required for a qualified review and subsequent suggestions on repparttar 132441 many aspects that make a professional and successful website.

Regardless, I do have a couple of years of building my own websites, during which I have learnt enough to modestly call myself semi-qualified. So, in that capacity, if I had one piece of advice to give anyone who was building or about to build a website for an Online Business, it would have to be to keep it clean and simple. There is nothing worse than a cluttered looking website and there is nothing that will repel visitors more quickly than a slow loading website. The more ‘fancy gadgets’ and premium images you try to jam on your pages, repparttar 132442 more cluttered they will look and repparttar 132443 more slowly they will load.
