Website design and development is all about offering the visitor a pleasant experience as he browses from one page to another. The more time the visitor spends on your site speaks about the design and quality of your website. It’s imperative that they spend time here, because they need to check out your products or services. If the website doesn’t suit their tastes, they will never proceed to sample your offerings. However, as experienced web designers will tell you, it’s not the graphics website designs that make up the mind of the visitor to stay or continue.
A major part of website design and development is to make the web pages light in weight. Though many users have a high speed internet connection, you cannot take it for granted. Most webmasters make this mistake and develop complex, heavily done up websites that sometimes take minutes to download. If your webpage is too heavily loaded with graphic designs, it will take time to download. There is a high chance that the visitor might skip to the next website on the search results. To ensure that the web pages of your site download easily, you need to optimize your website design and development.
Website design and development involves some tricks of the trade that can ensure that you keep your web pages light. With a few CSS codes you can sometimes replace a graphics design. It is a myth among CSS coders that their codes may not run on all sorts of web browsers. Allow the designer to do his work without any restrictions on how he’s doing it. Slice the design into small images for the HTML code. This will not only test the creativity, but also make the page lighter.

Design for Startups: The Aesthetics of Web Apps in 6 Questions
Think twice about that huge font and those glassy icons: Look and feel is the first thing we see and notice about most web apps and is often critical to an app's user experience, adoption, and ultimate success.
We chatted with a panel of expert aesthetes in the space, including Spymaster designer Eston Bond, veteran creative director Rich Barrett, designer/developer Warren Benedetto, Mike Rundle of 9rules and Beak fame, and the Paul du Coudray Lowdown, the winner of this year's Rails Rumble appearance category. Here's what they had to say about developers doing double duty as designers, trends they'd like to see disappear, and how aesthetics can help a startup sink or swim.
Is a web app's look and feel critical to its overall success or failure?
"As a designer, I'd love to say it's the most important element," said Benedetto. "Unfortunately, my experience is that the look and feel is often inessential, to the point of being irrelevant. Some of the most successful things I have worked on, in terms of traffic and conversions, have been successful almost in spite of the design, rather than because of the design.

Domain Registration - What you Need to Know
As your domain name is the name and address by which you''re known online, it''s the basis of your online identity. So it''s important to create the right domain name for your business. First we''ll look at how to choose the right domain name for your business from various companies who offer domain name registration in the UK.
Your domain name must be unique. Other than that, you have a lot of leeway in your choice. When you go onto any domain registration website, it would prompt you with a choice of similar possible web domain registration options. It can be anything between 2 and 67 characters long. Only alphanumeric characters and hyphens are allowed. Hyphens are not allowed at the beginning or end. You can use upper or lowercase characters, but it''s best to stick to lower case. If you were to choose longer domain names, sometimes you would be able to buy them from cheap domain registration companies, or if you were to buy a complete web hosting package, the domain registration company could offer you free domain registration.
Next you have to choose a top level domain (TLD) which is the extension at the end your domain name. Your options are .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .ws, and country-specific ones such as .uk. Most experts recommend going for .com or your country specific extension.
So what makes an effective domain name? Firstly it shouldn''t be too long as you want your customers to remember it easily. There''s less chance of someone making a mistake when typing it into a browser. If your company name is well known, you could incorporate that into your domain name. However, the trend nowadays is to base domain names on keywords relating to your product or service. This is a key component of search engine optimisation and search engine marketing.
