Your Website Should Be Readable

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]TEXT: The most easily read combination is black text on a white background, but many other color combinations are acceptable if the contrast is within an appropriate range. Use fonts that are easy to read and are found on most of today’s computer systems. Don’t over do it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3035″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Graphics: Graphics are quite important, as they improve the visuals of your website. However, just like text, don’t over do it. Don’t load any one page with more than 2 or 3 graphics if your content doesnt require it[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Photography: This is a no brainer in the world we live now. People want you to SHOW THEM instead ot TELL THEM. A simple way to increase your website’s visual appeal is to use high quality photography. High quality product images are especially important for ecommerce sites.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3315″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Your Website Should Be Mobile Compatible (aka Responsive)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Majority of your users will access your website via mobile. It’s the order of the day and you must be ready for this becuase more people use their mobile phones to access the Internet than any other device. So, creating a mobile optimized website has become a necessity today.

One way to check the compatibility of a website is to simply open it on your mobile phone and see if it looks okay and everything imporant is showing up. If its not properly displayed on a phone then it has to be corrected as your visitors will not remain on the site for long when it displays awkwardly. A responsive website changes its layout and options to fit the device and browser size. For example, a website may provide more options on a large PC monitor compared to on a mobile phone.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1532″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://www.myredboxx.com/product-photography-deal/”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Your Website Should Be Well-Formatted

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The first thing a user does to a blog post is to skip through to determine it’s relevance. They will not read every single word. Its therefore important to set your blog posts up into sections. We recommend the following

1) Using 30 words per paragraph
2) Having 2 paragraphs per section
3) Use headings and subheadings per section
4) Use bullets or lists per section
5) Use a relevant photo after each section

All these, and more of course, will help you break up the text in your content and make it easy for readers to go through quickly.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3307″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]You are currently reading part 1 of a post series.
