Mistakes To Avoid In Creating A Well Designed Website

I want a well designed website, and so does every other web-savvy person I know. You don’t put up a website just for show. If you’re a business owner, your website represents your brand and should successfully market your products or services. You want your visitors to stay on your website and eventually make a purchase. This cannot possibly happen if browsing the site itself becomes an excruciating experience for your visitors. You might have exerted so much effort in creating your website, but you probably committed a few mistakes along the way. I see these mistakes all the time when I surf the web. Let me share a few that I’ve noticed.

I hate clutter. Clutter is the mother of all web design mistakes. Clutter happens when a designer or his client want s to display too much all on one web page. It also happens when you don’t plan in advance and realize in the middle of building your site that you want to add several more elements to the page. Too many badges.Too many colours and too many fonts! Too many images that don’t complement the layout. Too much of everything else. Clutter on the homepage is a total turn off. If your homepage is a mess, it leaves a negative impression on your prospective customers. Ask yourself this question: if you can’t even come up with a decent website, why should they hire you?

Just because a designer uses flash or animation, it doesn’t ensure that he can come up with a well designed website. Too much flash can actually be irritating, and takes a more time to load. If you own a CGI animation studio, then perhaps all those flashy Flash elements would be appropriate. If you’re selling embroidery supplies on the other hand, all that animation probably won’t be necessary.

Three Reasons Why Young Kids Learn to Speak a Second Language Quickly

Children learn a second language easier compared to adults. This is true in most cases but not all the time. They learn a second language faster than adults would when they have a reason for learning it. This comes with other factors as well. They are the following. Brain readiness - Children especially young ones are wired to learn language in the first few years of their lives. They unconsciously acquire the second language naturally when they're exposed to two languages. They have to learn the second language consciously - usually by studying it - when they get older. The same is true for adults. Consequently, language acquisition becomes more difficult. Lack of complexity - Young children don't need to master the complexity of language. On the other hand, older children and adults need to master complex parts of the language in order to communicate well. This shows that young children have fewer things to learn while older children and adults have a lot to learn. T...

Is There Such A Thing As Communication Etiquette?

In this time and age that street language and gay lingo are rampant, communication etiquette seem to be unimportant to most people. But some of us are still offended by jokes, sarcasm, coarse words and disrespectful remarks. This only proves the need for communication etiquette. What is it anyway? This is a kind of interaction that is courteous in all aspects and well-though of. Other elements that it involves are active listening and sincere understanding of the idea relayed. Contrary to popular belief, this is not exclusive to business meetings and other sorts of formal gatherings. Conversations done in homes, offices, stores and public places become clearer with this. Imagine people talking to each other nicely and comprehending every word spoken. Conflict is a major impediment that makes these impossible though. Conflict may be a result of something negative that transpired before the event of the communication. This is possible to happen between family mem...
