By Marsha Adams

In terms of your website, additional attention ought to be paid to every minute detail to be sure it performs optimally in order to serve its goal. Listed below are five essential rules of thumb to see or watch to ensure your website does well.

1. Do Not Use Splash Pages--Splash pages are the initial pages you see when you arrive at a website. They typically have a very stunning graphic with words like "welcome" or "click here to enter." In fact, they're just that--pretty vases with no true objective. Don't let these potential customers have a motive to click on the "back" button. Give them the worthiness of your site up front without the splash page.

2. Do Not Use Excessive Banner Advertisements--Even the minimum net savvy persons have trained themselves to disregard banner advertisements, which means you'll be wasting useful website real estate. Rather, supply much more valuable content material and incorporate suitable affiliate links into your articles, and allow your guests to feel that they want to buy instead of getting pushed to buy.

3. Have a Basic and Obvious Navigation--You will need to supply a simple and very clear-cut navigation menu in order that even a young child will know how to use it. Stay away from complicated Flash-based menus or multi-tiered dropdown menus. If your site visitors have no idea how to navigate, they are going to leave your site.

4. Have a Clear Clue of Where the User Is--Any time visitors are profoundly engrossed in searching your website, you will need to make sure they know which part of the site they are in at that time. That way, they will be able to search relevant data or get around to any area of the website easily. Do not confuse your visitors because confusion indicates "abandon ship!"

5. Stay Away From Audio in Your Website--In case your visitor is going to stay a long time at your site, reading through your content, you will need to make certain they're not irritated by some sound looping on and on in your website. In the event that you insist on adding audio, be certain they've some control over it--volume or muting controls would likely work fine.
