If your site has been around for a while, you'd probably have been visited by the "Web Design Police" (people who have a lot of time on their hands). In fact, depending on your site, you might have been visited by different branches of these people, both advocating opposite policies. I recently received an email from one of my visitors who had apparently been "helped" by some of these people, and thought that an article on two of the myths of web design was appropriate. Business - All business/finance/loan/mortgage related link can be found here Computers - All computer hardware/software/peripheral related link can be found here Internet - All webhosting/webdesign/internet marketing related link can be found here Software - All software related link can be found here Web Design - All web design/development related link can be found here Web Hosting - All web hosting related link can be found here Web Promotion - All search engine optimization/internet marketing related link can be found here Web Resources - All other web related link can be found here Recreation - All travel/hotel/cruise related link can be found here Casino - All online gambling/poker/blackjack/roulette related link can be found here Health - All online pharmacy/hospital/health related link can be found here Shopping - All online shopping/gift related link can be found here Miscellaneous - All other links can be found here
The adage that "Content is King" applies to all websites, and I am not disputing that. It is also true that when you add sound, animation, Java applets and lots of graphics, your web page takes a long time to load, and some of your visitors may not bother to wait for it to load; they'll just go away. However, putting those two together does not actually mean that all pages with animation, sound and applets are necessarily bad. The trick is to know when they're appropriate and to make the download speed as fast as it is reasonably possible under the circumstances. I will mention a few ways of reducing your graphics and animation file sizes later in this article. |
