What makes a Web site user-friendly?

• It loads quickly on the user's computer. 
• It's simple to navigate. 
• It provides useful and timely information. 
• It has an attractive color scheme. 
• It avoids animations that annoy the user. 
• And it's the name of the company that creates user-friendly Web sites.

Tips for Design

• Find out what your customers need from your Web site and then base your design around those needs. 
• Have your company name or logo on every page.
• Choose a color scheme that reinforces your message.
• Use the 216 browser-safe colors, which can be viewed by most users of PC and Mac computer systems. Avoid custom colors.
• Beware of clutter. Use linked pages to organize your information.
• Remember that a Web site is invariably a work in progress.

Tips for Content

• Keep your text simple and focused. 
• If you wait until the next day to proofread, you are more likely to find your typographical errors.
• Since your Web site is subject to the same scrutiny and limitations as other advertising, be careful of what you promise, warranty, or guarantee.
