The way your website is designed makes a huge impact on your visitors and influences their opinion of you. Like it or not websites are often judged mainly by their appearance and you have to face the fact that people will look at the design before noticing anything else about the site. To help you design your website effectively and to correct any mistakes you might have made we will now look at some important principles that should be followed for designing a website.
Custom 404 Pages: Pretty often you see people typing in the wrong URL or misspelling it because of which they end up on a 404 Page which gives up the error of page not found. Now what does this have to do with effective web designing? What is relevant is that all of the people who end up on your 404 page were trying to find a page on your site but got lost and may never return. It is not very difficult to create a custom 404 page that does not just tell visitors that the page does not exist but gives them the option to land on your actual site. A certain number of people will always end up on this page so if you do not customize it you are bound to miss out on valuable traffic. There is no one right way to custom design your 404 page; just make it a direct path to your site and you cannot go wrong.
Another important consideration are all those boring admin pages such as privacy policies and maybe terms of use etc. Ensure that your sites have a copyright policy at the end of the page and a privacy policy that is detailed. If you ever check your server logs you will see that people click on the links and spend time reading the documents. Besides that search engines like Google require you to have an updated privacy policy on your site without which it simply will not rank.
Another best practices tip is to verify that your design looks as advertised in other browsers. When you make edits you really need to verify your changes have not broken the design of your site. Just be sure to get in the habit of looking at your site even after the smallest change is made. There is nothing called a perfect web design because designing is an ongoing process that does not end. But we encourage you to avoid changing things too often because that may lead to your visitors becoming confused.
