If you are one of the many who are wishing to make a successful website to make a little extra cash then there is a lot of different things which you need to take into account while creating this. One of those is the layout of the website.
The layout should always be clean and simple. Cramming it full of “glitz” and pictures to make the site look pretty because it does not do this. Use a basic look this should make all pages accessable from within 2 clicks.
A complicated site layout (lots of sub pages) just confuse most users and they will quickly stop browsing your website. If you only have one sub directory then it will make it much easier to browse.
“Easy is good”
The longer each user spends on your site the better. If they find that they can easily find what they are looking for then they will return again and again, this makes a successfull websites. A website which should hopefully make you much money.
The actual look of the website is also important, again a very basic but sophisticated look is important. Try to keep to only a few colours, your company logo for instance is a good idea.
Aslong as it looks good and is simple enough to keep your users interested then its a good website.
