How do I decide on a web design?

The best way to get started on your design is to get an idea of what you like in other websites. Look at sites that are similar to your web model. For instance, if you want to have an e-commerce site, look at other e-commerce sites to see how they handle their business. Then, ask yourself the following questions:

  • What do I appreciate about the sites I like?
    Color scheme, animations, buttons, graphics, layouts, etc.
  • Do you like the way they handle navigation and links? Dropdowns, graphic buttons, text, etc.
  • Do you like the placement of the navigation down the left or across the top? To best decide this it is necessary to get an outline of how you would like your business structured. This also gives a clear idea of how many pages you will require. See the example on the right:
