Best Practices for a Website

Decide If Website should be a Blog, e commerce website or a Social networking website or for that matter the main reason you wish to get a website. It is important to analyse the Site Visitors too. And even important to set a Goal for website like how many visitors or leads you expect from the website.

Define Website Structure:

Website structure is important in User’s usability end. We have to clearly define structure of the site. Some Structural Concepts are:

  • Maintain a good Layout and Color preference which are attractive to Users or Visitors
  • Maintain Style and Js components in correct place, for efficient purpose.
  • Clearly understand the technologies and tools to be used, it should be easy for re-branding and instant change works.
  • Navigations should be clear to User ie.(like Tiered menus, Sequential menus, Site map page)
  • Site navigation lead mechanisms ie.(like Navigations Open in Same tab, New tab or Pop-up window).
  • Add Components based on site functionality requirements and to avoid unnecessary ones.

Test websites properly:

Generally Contents play main role in websites, so contents must be clearly defined with the goal, and not to misspell or add unpleasant contents.
Follow Web 2.0 practices in website design and development.
For ex:

  • Limited use of image mapping URL’s, iframes components.
  • Browser syntax compatibility and Visual manner.ie website to fit for all versions of web browsers .
  • Unsecured Directory links should be confidential or blocked.
  • Sites should not boot by external contents via XSS, CFSS, SQL injections.
  • Check HTTP transfer performance, Scalability and usability to much user Experience and Traffic.
  • Make Sure to Cookie free components for Domain. It reduces Transfer rate of your site.(HTTP Request and response is costly).
  • Combine scripts so it reduces HTTP response and request time to load a page.
