Guidelines for Designers

Tips for Designer while design a website

Now when I say various elements, I mean things like:

• CSS files – remove unwanted/unused code or place all the code on one line per div/class.
• The amount of JavaScript in the code – this can be really slow depending on what you are using it for so I’d advice using it sparsely.
• Use a different folder for JavaScript to call 
• Website image size neither large nor small
• File size – remove white spaces and any unessential line breaks in code, keep it streamlined.

Making improvements on the above, will increase speed and generally help with the SEO

• Always use a SEO friendly layout
• Website slogans (Punch Line)
• Always use light color
• Websites Logo
• Images must be theme related
• There must a news or article section
• Navigation Bar (Avoid Flash)
• Unique Page Titles
• Breadcrumb Trails
• H1, H2 and H3 tags (H1 should be used once)
• Bold Tag (preferred   not   )
• Alt Tag (Make use of the alt attribute of an image to properly describe it)
• Internal links
• Footer links
• File / Folder Names
