Chapter 3 Site Seeing

1 Accessibility to a large audience is the key factor to consider when developing a web page. Your site must be navigable and quick to load in order to get viewers to come back or delve deeper into your content.

2 Letting your audience know that something in your page is loading is a great way to keep a users interest. Let them know before hand if a download will take a while, or put a load bar to show progress.

3 Optimizing your html content allows for quicker download time when users are accessing your website. Keep your files small so viewers with slow connections can still load quickly.

4 Use web language. Certain images or words coincide with a common action. For example, the picture of a house is generally a link to home, or a question mark for help. Try to keep your symbols relevant so your users will understand.

5 Use links within your text in order to keep users interested in your content. After all, you want users to be interested in what you have to say, no just what you design.
