More On Tables for Web Page Structure.

As we’ve said in previous tutorials, Tables provide website builders with an invaluable tool when adding structure to a webpage. Structure ensures that the content (both text and images) is laid out in such a way, which allows website visitors to read and take it all in easily. Dividing the various sections of information up on a webpage provides each of those sections with a more prominent share of the spotlight. Overall, structure makes the first impression of a webpage far more aesthetically attractive and so encourages viewers to stay for longer and take in more information.

Keep your Text in Line

“Remember that writing for the screen is not the same as writing for paper. Website builders need to keep their content punchy, simple and to the point.”

Grabbing and holding the attention of visitors and browsers flying through the net can be achieved in many ways, but one of the main ones is with your text content. Filling your pages with endless scrolls of text will lose their interest in seconds, they probably won’t get past the second line before giving up and moving to a website with more images and less text. People read for pleasure but not when they’re looking for something. Sourcing specific information needs to be a simple and speedy task.

Mobile Internet

Computers were once the size of a small planet. Shrinking to room size, then car size by the 70’s, desktop size by the 80’s and by 1995, you could carry them around in a briefcase. Today, you carry them around in your pocket. Internet is now well and truly mobile. As a website builder, how can you make the most of “the mobile boom!”?

Sitting at your computer at work or at home doing your shopping was great but you can now do it on the bus, at the cinema, on the beach, at the club, on rollerblades (though we don’t recommend this without sufficient safety padding!).

Website Style

As you build and develop your website, it’s important to maintain any existing corporate or company image or brand awareness. If you already have existing literature, logo’s, brand logo’s, corporate colour schemes and / or font styles, then include them within your website style and design. As you use your website builder to create your website keep in mind that clients who have already seen your company image or those who will see it in the future can recognise you easily when they find you online.
