In the history of the world, few things have been as popular as the internet is today. No matter what your particular tastes or interests are, there's a website out there for you. And if you want to build your own website, the sky is literally the limit as long as you know a few things about web design. Here are some various tips on the topic to help you out.

Keep the size of your web pages small. A lot of modern web pages are full of unnecessary elements, including huge images, Flash advertising, and lots of AJAX. Many people, especially those in rural areas and other countries with less-developed internet infrastructure, don't have high-speed Internet and will have to wait forever for a large page to load.

Use free alternatives to pay web design software whenever possible. There is a pervasive myth that expensive programs do the job of web design better than the alternatives, but there is plenty of free software that does a great job. Hit your favorite search engine and do research to find a piece of software that suits your needs.

Make sure your webpages aren't too long. You only get one chance to make a first impression, and if your most important content is "below the fold," it may not even be read. If you have a lot of related content that needs to stay together, consider breaking it up into sections and adding links to each section.

Keep your education ongoing. Websites are constantly changing, every day, and if you stop learning new things, you may find yourself falling behind the pack with your designs. Try to convince yourself to learn one new thing each day, be it programming a new background, or a simple HTML setup.

Do not use pop-ups. Customers are turned off by the constant advertising pop-up ads represent. The vast majority of users will just exit a site with pop-ups. You can prevent visitor frustration, and improve your reputation, by avoiding pop-up advertisements entirely. If your host tries forcing pop-ups on you, look for another one.

Separate your topics. If you have several topics of discussion on your site, put them on different pages. This helps alleviate any confusion that your customers may experience, as well as giving search engines a broader and more clear view of your site, potentially bumping you up higher in their rankings.

As this article previously mentioned, designing websites is perceived by many to be a challenging endeavor. However, web design becomes much easier for people who have the best knowledge and information on how to design websites as efficiently and creatively as possible. Apply this article's tips, and you'll be designing websites in no time!
