A Design is an individual display of headers, columns and footers used creatively to create a distinct identity for a website. It involves an aesthetic arrangement of objects on a single page.

There are certain elements that result in creative website design – these elements are the different objects used to create the final layout. Two many elements, too many colors can leave the design looking cluttered. Identifying the elements that are to be a part of the layout is important before proceeding with the design itself.

A complex design is not necessarily a useful design. A design should be useful and straightforward – defining at a glance what the site is about. Get the user to find what they are looking for – at a glance. Some design elements that can make a significant difference to the performance of a web page are: 1.The position and color of the primary call to action 2.The number of elements on a page 3.The images used on a page 4.Use of text or image links 5.The amount of white space used in the background There are some factors that should be taken into account before designing. These are mentioned below:

CSS CSS allows complete and total control over the style of a hypertext document. By using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) all pages within the website can have the design elements changed as the designer just needs to edit the style sheet. Using CSS can keep both the style and the content separate. This allows for easier updates and revisions. Because a separate Style sheet is created and linked to all the web pages, you get better control over website edits. So if you want to change a certain aspect of your page, you only need to alter one file, as a single CSS file can contain positioning, layout, font, colors and style information for the entire web site.

When used along with HTML it results in less code hence a faster page load. Since table layouts are not used for positioning elements, text loads really fast, resulting in a fast page load. The Style sheet is downloaded only once, and automatically reused for every page. On an average a website will load four to five times faster if it makes use of cascading style sheets. For designing a website, make sure that you hire Design Professionals who are well-versed in CSS as well as HTML and can provide you an affordable and creative website design.

Thirdly since the HTML code is a lot cleaner search engines will crawl faster resulting in faster indexing of the webpages.

RESOLUTION Resolution is the term used to describe the number of dots, or pixels, used to display an image. The higher resolutions mean that more pixels are used to create the image, resulting in a crisper, cleaner image.

When it comes to screen resolution no matter how perfect the design is, if the viewer needs to scroll to the side or the bottom - chances of the viewer leaving are high. Your pages should work at any resolution, from 800x600 to 1280x1024 and beyond. Typically you should design for a 1024x768 setting and ensure that the page contracts properly when viewed in an 800x600 setting.
