MY E COMMERCE CENTER

If you think that having a website is something that only big businesses can afford, then think again because you can design you own free website today! Plenty of people just like you have successfully designed their own sites and their businesses have benefited greatly.

One of the most important things to remember if you decide to design your own website free is that you want it to look good. If it does not appear professional then it will make your company look bad as well. Between desktops and laptops and now even cell phones, all computers have different size screens. Even the ones with the same size screens may be set to a different resolution which changes the magnification of the page you are looking at. The most important rule when you design your own website free is to make sure that it will look good on all of these screens. Just because it looks right on your computer does not mean that the formatting will hold up on other computers.

The more complicated a website you are trying to design, the more careful you need to be. A three tier website has a much bigger chance of being distorted on an older computers screen then a simpler one or two tier design. When someone on another computer navigates to your site, instead of seeing the layout as you intended, they might see one tier across the top and the other two jammed down at the bottom out of alignment. And believe me; they are not going to blame it on their computer. They are going to blame it one you. And they certainly won’t want to buy anything from you or recommend your site to anyone else. So for your hard work, you actually get negative publicity.

There is a simple way to check this however. You can email the link to a few friends and have them check how the site looks on their screens or you can find a public computer, like at the library or an internet cafe, and check the site there. I recommend you do both. And not just when you initially design the site, but every time you make any significant updates or changes to it as well. This will save you the embarrassment and bad advertisement for your business.

If you are new to website design and have decided to design your own website free it is best to use a template instead of making the entire thing custom. Most templates you can download for free will set a margin and a style for your page that will ensure that it lays out well on all types of computer screens. Just use the same template for all the pages on your site if you are making multiple pages, that way everything will look uniform and professional.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is by sizing images too big. Make sure that the images you use are properly sized for the page. That will make your page load faster and will keep the layout from being distorted.
