			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="plus-one-wrap"><g:plusone href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/content-writing-must-balance-website-design-to-be-effective/"></g:plusone></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Content needs to be SEO-friendly. At the same time, it needs to adhere to a certain word limit. For the designing team, here&#8217;s how to maintain both:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Use tabs to keep the page &#8216;tight&#8217; and make information easily available to visitors. You can actually hide chunks of content using tabs. Visitors will read the entire content, in various tabs  and here will be no room for boredom.</li>
<li>SEO content should be &#8216;below the fold&#8217;. Keep in mind that a site&#8217;s traffic flow increases when visitors see attractive design, not when they find a chunk of text. There&#8217;s also a possibility of a conflict between SEO and content team here because according to SEO strategies, &#8216;above the fold&#8217; is the place where optimized content should appear.</li>
<li>The pages where SEO is not that important, such as the &#8216;about&#8217; page, should be adorned with appealing designs. So, if you are a designer, let your creativity loose on these pages.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Navigation</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Be clear when it comes to site navigation. Keep your website navigation buttons as clear as possible. You do not want to mislead your visitors. This does not mean you have to curb your creative desire. You can design the labels as you wish, but in order to offer a better user-experience, you need to position the text and the labels as clearly as you can.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Home Page Header Design </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Animations and rotating images in the header are an effective way to present the good things about your company along with your value proposition. While content must be informative, the header must connect with the visitors emotionally in order to be effective. There are several ways to establish a connection between a website and its visitors. Try telling a story with the <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/website-design-india.php"><strong>website design,</strong></a><strong> <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/logo-design-india.php">logo design</a></strong> and <strong>content writing</strong> rather than talking about the products/services that your company offers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Call-to-action </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Needless to say, call-to-action is what takes visitors to the next level after they have browsed a website fully. Call-to-action can be simple as well as elaborated. But similar to the landing page, the call-to-action text should be simple, short and most importantly, clear. It also needs to be relevant to where it leads the visitors. Interesting content alone can&#8217;t help. You need attractive design in the call-to-action and the design should be done is such a way that it can be read with ease.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are a few more things to be taken care of regarding the call-to-action. These things can arouse conflict between content writing and web design again. Below you will find how to resolve the conflict.</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Communicate with all the team members of content and design team clearly.</li>
<li>Communicate with the client clearly.</li>
<li>Choose a project manager who has excellent communication skills.</li>
<li>Do not deviate from the purpose of the design.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, let me tell you that there are writers who cannot shorten information and designers who cannot but create elaborate designs. Trust me, they are quite common and both of them do not contribute anything to a site&#8217;s effectiveness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These conflicting tendencies of <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/web-content-writing-india.php"><strong>content writing services</strong></a> and web design make the actual work very challenging. A good way to sort things out here is to have a discussion as a whole team. Another, quite effective way, though not followed very frequently, is to request feedback from clients. Just show your web page to people and take their opinions. This will give you an idea as to how successful your website is going to be.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Bear in mind that everyone is subjective about their own creations because there&#8217;s an emotional bond between a creator and his creation that overshadows any flaws that might be in the creation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="plus-one-wrap"><g:plusone href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/web-content-writing-and-web-design-shares-a-link-stronger-than-you-think/"></g:plusone></div><p style="text-align: justify;">When it comes to understanding content strategy, you need to realize that not everyone can understand it in the same manner, and that it is a relatively new concept which does not have a clear definition. First of all, you have to keep in mind that content strategy is not just about content writing. A number of other things related  to it concern web designers, such as development, production, design and presentation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This post intends to study the relationship of content strategy and design in the processes of creation, arrangement and display of web copies. An interesting interplay of content and design is capable of bringing in a breakthrough result.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Content Strategy in a Nutshell:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Content strategy is basically a bridge between effective writing and eye-catching designs. This bridge stands on the pillars of good communication. The right communication can speed up the progress of a project. Here&#8217;s what happens when a new project arrives:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>The project manager wants to get the landing page designed quickly so that it can be showed to the client.</li>
<li>The designer cannot design until he gets the content and</li>
<li>The content writer cannot write until he sees the design.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The only solution to this is to create the content first. The fact that content throws the cornerstone for designers to build their designs on, should not be forgotten. For example, to create content for a landing page, you should consider things like the target audience, the message being conveyed, the word count and the call-to-action. A clear idea about these aspects will help the content writer produce effective content and the designer create a good <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/"><strong>web design</strong></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/web-development.php">Web development</a> </strong>team depends on web design, web design team depends on content team, content team depends on project management team, which depends on all three. To ensure the work-flow is in the right direction:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Entrust someone with the sole responsibility of content strategy.</li>
<li>Co-ordinate between the content writing and <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/website-design-india.php"><strong>website designing</strong></a> teams to ensure the professionals in both teams understand their responsibilities clearly.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Using content templates can free the designers&#8217; mind from guesswork to a great extent. It also helps clients get a basic idea of how their website will look and decide the word count and text placement more comfortably.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are some dedicated software for project management which can be used for streamlining communication. The best thing about such software is that they provide a common platform for professionals to interact and manage tasks. It saves a lot of time for the teams as well as the project manager.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, regardless of how many steps have been taken to ensure a smooth work-flow, there will be a conflict between the design and <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/web-content-writing-india.php"><strong>content writing services</strong></a> at some point of time. This is commonplace in any and every project. But did you know that this conflict is essential? Otherwise a project is considered to be in trouble.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the next post, you will find some &#8216;content-design&#8217; conflict issues along with ways to deal with them. Happy strategizing until then!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="plus-one-wrap"><g:plusone href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/dont-shy-away-from-flash-yet-flash-website-design-may-yet-be-lucrative/"></g:plusone></div><p style="text-align: justify;">There is a prevalent misconception that Flash-based websites are not ranked well in SERPs or Search Engine Results Pages. But in reality, there are a number of instances of Flash sites being ranked at prominent positions by search engines.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qws30.bmp"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1014" title="qws30" src="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qws30.bmp" alt="" width="201" height="163" /></a>Even a decade ago, <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/flash-design-india.php"><strong>Flash design</strong></a> meant a disaster for search engine ranking but now, with Google&#8217;s Flash update in 2008, success is possible with Flash website design.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do not ignore the fact that all the major search engines are taking every possible step to index Flash-based websites. You can actually help these search engines by -</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Promoting your brand and creating useful links to the pages that are the most important on your website.</li>
<li>Getting your meta tags right. Remember, meta descriptions, if written with relevant and powerful call-to-action, can turn random net searchers into your site visitors. Be sure to optimize the titles of your web pages with the right keywords but do not overdo it as that would be spamming.</li>
<li>Code your website with as much plain HTML as possible and link from the plain HTML portion of your web page. Select your anchor text cleverly.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No matter whether you are getting your website designed by a<strong> <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/website-design-india.php">website design company India</a></strong>, or by a design company from any other country, bear in mind that a website isn&#8217;t all about looks. So, Flash design alone cannot make a website successful, neither can optimization, if done alone. Your site needs to be popular and relevant in order to be successful. So, concentrate on building a powerful link profile.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course, Flash adds a lot of beauty to a website, but when designing a Flash website, you shouldn&#8217;t depend on beauty completely. Bring some effective SEO practices on board and adhere to the optimization guidelines set by Google. That way, even if your site is Flash-based from head to toe, it will be indexed by Google and show up in search results.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Below are some things to maintain if you want to earn success with your Flash site.</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Navigation should not be hampered by Flash</strong> – The better the navigation, the easier it is for visitors to explore your website. The Flash design on your website should not affect the way visitors roam around in your site. Let them move freely and don&#8217;t confuse them with intricate Flash designs.</li>
<li><strong>Be focused on your message</strong> – Do not get lost in beautiful and intricate Flash animation as it might overshadow your message so much so that visitors will not even know there was a message. To grab visitors&#8217; attention, you need eye-catching Flash website design and also the room to convey your message.</li>
<li><strong>Include SEO aspects into your Flash site</strong> – Making your Flash website SEO friendly will boost your conversion rate and also increase your site&#8217;s visibility on search engines.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Remember, success won&#8217;t come overnight. It calls for effort as well as implementation of smart tactics. A successful Flash website should offer more than just attractive designs.</p>

Known as <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog-customization.php"><strong>blog customization</strong></a>, it&#8217;s basically implementing some ideas into your blog. This post will discuss those ideas. So let&#8217;s get started:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qws27.bmp"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1009" title="qws27" src="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qws27.bmp" alt="" /></a></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>A page on you</strong> – As the author of the blog, you need to take care of the fact that your readers get to know you. Add an &#8216;about me&#8217; page wherein you will provide information about yourself, what you do, what you like and so on. But present all these info in an interesting manner, otherwise nobody will be interested to know about you. Your &#8216;about&#8217; page should be interactive and inviting so that people feel like reading more of what your write. Don&#8217;t forget to create a &#8216;contact&#8217; page along with it, where people can get in touch with you easily if they wish to.</li>
<li><strong>Put the default template away</strong> – and bring in a template that goes with your blog. It has to be relevant with the theme of your blog.</li>
<li><strong>Customize the &#8217;404 error&#8217; page</strong> – so that visitors get something nice to look at when they land on an article that you have already deleted. Put a link to your blog&#8217;s home page in the &#8217;404 error&#8217; page so that visitors get something to read.</li>
<li><strong>Optimize your blog and put a &#8216;search&#8217; button </strong>– In addition to blog customization, optimization of the blog is necessary because it will give your blog a prominent position in search engines. Having a search function in your blog will help visitors look for something specific. Also, create relevant and crisp meta tags for every blog of yours with appropriate title, description and keywords.</li>
<li><strong>Allow your readers to comment</strong> – Your blog reflects what you think of something particular. Give a chance to your readers to put across their opinions on the matter you wrote about by keeping a &#8216;comment&#8217; option at the end of your blog. This will help you build two way traffic.</li>
<li><strong>Choose a copyright type and put it up on your blog</strong> – As your blog becomes popular, other people may want to use your write-ups. Go for a copyright protection and allow or prohibit (whichever you want to) others to use your content.</li>
<li><strong>Place a plug-in for related content</strong> – If you want readers to be hooked on to your blog, put a plug-in to what you have written elsewhere.</li>
<li><strong>Use Google Analytics</strong> &#8211; Yes, there is some <strong><a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/web-development.php">web development</a> </strong>to be done in order to make your blog successful. By using Google Analytics, you will be able to keep track of your visitor count, trace the sources they are coming from and do a lot more. Studying the analysis will let you know what people like to read and you can create your future blogs accordingly.</li>
<li><strong>Put your blog on various search engines</strong> – Not all web-users use the same search engine. You need to be on every popular search engine out there to increase your visitors.</li>
<li><strong>RSS Feed</strong> – The best service to opt for is Feedburner. It will keep you informed about your RSS feeds.</li>
<li><strong>Have a sitemap</strong> – Let your readers navigate with ease on your blog by using a sitemap. If you use an XML sitemap, it will augment your visibility in search engines because it&#8217;s easy for search engine bots to crawl an XML sitemap.</li>
<li><strong>Sign up for Technorati</strong> – It is a great community for bloggers like you. You can claim your blog so as to allow your fellow Technorati users to read your writings and link back.</li>
<li><strong>Sign up for StumbleUpon</strong> -  StumbleUpon needs no introduction. If you can index your blog&#8217;s home page in StumbleUpon, users will land on it and if they like what they see, they will probably share it with their near and dear ones.</li>
<li><strong>Submit your RSS feeds to various RSS directories</strong> – This would let you easily inform a lot of people about your latest writing.</li>
<li><strong>Index your blog into different blog directories</strong> – Some top directories are BlogDup, BlogCatalog and MyBlogLog. Search the net and you will find several other weblog directories.</li>
<li><strong>Use social media to let everyone know about your latest blog –</strong> Share the link to your blog in various social networks and also in the information box of YouTube when you upload a video.</li>
<li><strong>If you are part of a forum, spread the word about your new writing there</strong> – Post your blog&#8217;s URL in your signature and talk to other members in the forum. Do not try to spam. If your comments are interesting, other members will come to your blog.</li>
<li><strong>Visit other weblogs and comment</strong> – Needless to say, you should leave your Blog URL in the comments you make. A good idea would be to visit and comment on blogs that are relevant to what you have written about. This way, other visitors will be interested to visit your blog.</li>
<li><strong>Sign up for Google AdSense</strong> – If your blog garners success, you can make money from it by using Google AdSense. It will provide you with links relevant to your content.</li>
<li><strong>Install widgets</strong> – This is also a part of your blog customization. You can promote your blog better with widgets.</li>
<li><strong>Have an option for linkback</strong> – Most of the people who read blogs have blogs of their own. If another blog owner likes your blog, he may share your link on his own blog. This would be a nice linkback to look forward to.</li>
<li><strong>Submit your write-ups in various social bookmarking websites</strong> – If you can do that, you may get points from readers and the higher the number of points, the better it&#8217;s for you. Some top sites are Del.icio.us, Digg and Reddit.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now that you are geared up with these ideas, blog customization will be easy for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Care to share your thoughts? We are all ears!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="plus-one-wrap"><g:plusone href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/keep-web-programming-clean-dont-crowd-your-codes/"></g:plusone></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Almost all professionals in the world, at some point of time in their career, have to face the problem of continuing someone else&#8217;s work. The field of <a href="www.quality-web-solutions.com/website-design-india.php"><strong>web design</strong></a> is no exception and needless to say, not everyone feels very comfortable taking up a task that was started earlier by someone else. This is because everyone has their own unique style of working and this unique style can mess things up a great deal in an ongoing project.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To steer clear from such messes and to encourage teamwork, you need to consider some aspects. You&#8217;ll find them below</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Before you begin the coding process, re-think your logic</strong>:  Create flow-charts and and write some codes on paper before starting the coding. This will eliminate a lot of complexity and save you considerable time.</li>
<li><strong>Alleviate the structuring of the page</strong> – by using main containers that have a representative ID. This makes the structure appear clear and helps anyone who might later want to add or remove anything.</li>
<li><strong>Get the indentation right</strong> – Indentation shows you the points of opening and closing for all the elements that are used in the coding. Do not stick to a particular side of the screen, figure out a better indentation for your web programming.</li>
<li><strong>Your comments should be demonstrative</strong> – Pay attention to the comments you write. Offering brief, relevant and precise comments will help you document the code better and clear any doubts that anybody reading the codes might have.</li>
<li><strong>Be careful with comments</strong> – When you are writing comments, write ONLY what&#8217;s relevant. Avoid writing notes in the comment for your future use, do not blame other coders in your comment and refrain from writing anything vague. If you are supposed to write comments, do it ASAP. Do not leave it for future. In your comment – provide author specifications, state the functionality of a methodology in detail and state in brief any change that has been made to the coding.</li>
<li><strong>Use small functions</strong> – While you add functionality to a particular application, break large functions into small ones. This eliminates confusions.</li>
<li><strong>Describe the use of functions through their names</strong> – Name the functions in such a way that what they do can be known from their name. Some web programming services have their own naming standards. A descriptive name can save you from a lot of time and effort in the future.</li>
<li><strong>When you are implementing changes, be careful</strong> – When you are to add, remove or modify something, be sure not to tamper with the way the coding is organized. Respect the standards that are followed in the coding procedure.</li>
<li><strong>Do not mix coding languages indiscriminately</strong> – Otherwise you will create interruptions in the structural flow and also create confusion.</li>
<li><strong>If you have imported files, summarize them</strong> – If you have several style sheets, it is advisable to summarize them into 1 or 2 as it would free your web programming from clutter, save a lot of space and loading time as well. Imported files can affect your application&#8217;s performance.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lastly, keep in mind the fact that convenience isn&#8217;t always the best option for your <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/web-programming-india.php"><strong>web programming company</strong></a>. Maintaining standards is important and you have to create codes in an easily understandable way for someone who may work on it in the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="plus-one-wrap"><g:plusone href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/how-a-graphic-design-artist-should-create-an-impactful-portfolio-site/"></g:plusone></div><p style="text-align: justify;">If you are a graphic designer, you must have a great online portfolio to showcase your designs and increase the possibility of getting regular projects. Your online portfolio helps you promote your skills and attracts clients all over the world. However, designing an online portfolio is not an easy job. As a <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/graphic-design.php"><strong>graphic design</strong></a> artist, you have to show your creative style and also make the portfolio site user-friendly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qqws20.bmp"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1000" title="qqws20" src="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qqws20.bmp" alt="" /></a>Here are some helpful online portfolio designing tips for you.</p>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Design a Simple Site and Go Straight to the Point</strong>- You should design a simple portfolio site to convey your message effectively. Don’t write long descriptive sentences on the homepage of your portfolio. Keep the introduction content brief and tell your clients what you do as a designer.</li>
<li><strong>Have a Unique Design- </strong>When a client visits your site, he checks your portfolio design to get an idea of your efficiency as a graphic designer. You must design a unique layout to impress your clients. Don’t follow any <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/website-design-india.php"><strong>web design</strong></a> trend. Show your creativity and add a personal touch to your portfolio.</li>
<li><strong>Highlight Your Expertise</strong>- As a versatile graphic designer, you may design website layouts, logos and brochures, but when you are designing your portfolio, you must highlight your strongest skill. If you are an expert in <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/logo-design-india.php"><strong>logo design</strong></a>, then highlight your logo designing skills to prove your expertise.</li>
<li><strong>Less, but Quality Designs</strong>- You may have designed dozens of brochures and website layouts, but don’t post all your designs in your portfolio. Your employers won’t count the numbers of design samples, they will evaluate your designing skills. Upload only the best designs to impress your potential employers.</li>
<li><strong>Don’t Clutter the “Design Gallery” Page</strong>- You have to offer your design samples in an organized way to help viewers check them. If you post 30 design samples in one page, it will tire the viewers’ eyes. You should design multiple galleries and categorize them to offer a better experience to your viewers. For instance, you can create 3 separate galleries on logo design, depending upon the design trend you followed in those designs.</li>
<li><strong>Place Most Impressive Designs at the Beginning and at the End</strong>- In your design gallery, all designs can’t be equally good. Make sure that you place the best design samples at the top. This way, you can hide your not-so-good designs and still impress your viewers.</li>
<li><strong>Pay Attention to Usability</strong>- When you design your portfolio; give attention to usability as well. Your website maybe beautiful but if your viewers can’t find the menu bar, they will leave your site. Maintain a balance between design elements and navigation to help your audience surf your site comfortably.</li>
<li><strong>Decide Your Target Clients</strong>- You need to know your target clients to design an effective portfolio. For instance, if you want to target high profile multinational companies, design a professional looking portfolio to grab their attention.</li>
<li><strong>Post Your Contact Details</strong>- You should design a separate contact page and give all your contact information to help your clients contact you anytime. Write your email address, phone number and social media links, so that you never miss any project due to lack of communication.</li>
<li><strong>Regularly Update Your Portfolio</strong>- Whenever you design something new, post it on your portfolio and remove the old designs. This way, your potential clients will realize that you are an active and busy designer.</li>
<li><strong>Post Client Testimonials</strong>- Someone who comes to your site to hire you, will always read the testimonials first to make a decision. You should post some client testimonials on your homepage to convince your future clients.</li>
<li><strong>Design an “About Me” Page</strong>- You should design an “about me” page in your portfolio site. In this page, write about your educational qualification, your experience as a designer and give your clients strong reasons to hire you. However, don’t make the “about me” page too long and never share any personal information. Your potential employers don’t want to know every detail of your life.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are designing your online portfolio for the first time, these tips can be useful to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="plus-one-wrap"><g:plusone href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/content-vs-web-design-who-plays-the-most-critical-role/"></g:plusone></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Google Panda updates have reinforced the belief &#8216;content is king&#8217;. However, the importance of content has forced designers to rethink the role of <strong><a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/website-design-india.php">web design</a>. </strong>To clear the confusion, in this article, we will discuss the role of web and <strong><a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/graphic-design.php">graphic design</a> </strong>in affecting user experience. To know more, read on.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qws18.bmp"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-995" title="qws18" src="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qws18.bmp" alt="" /></a>Design Creates the First Impression </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Studies have proved the fact that visitors form an opinion about a site within few seconds. This initial opinion is critical because it determines further activities of visitors. In most cases, visitors use design as the yardstick to evaluate the site. If the design is impressive, they stick to the site and vice versa. This means that in creating the initial impression, design plays a more important role than content.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Design Elicits the Desired Reaction from Visitors </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Design also affects reaction of visitors towards the website. With interesting call-to-action buttons, you can compel visitors to act and thus, increase conversations. Of course, you can request users to act via content also. However, most people would agree that as compared to a call-to-action statement hidden in the content, call-to-action buttons are more effective.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>It Affects Content Consumption </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many people will be surprised to know that design can even affect the way users interpret the content. The typography rules play an important role in affecting the experience that visitors have, while absorbing information. Furthermore, using informative videos and graphics can reinforce their understanding of the content, thus creating a positive impression.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We do not have any doubts about the fact that visitors usually look for good information in the Internet. However, at the same time, presentation of the content is also important. For example, if you set a serious article in comic fonts, it will definitely distract the readers. Even if the content is of high quality, users will feel confused. <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qws181.bmp"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-996" title="qws181" src="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qws181.bmp" alt="" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Modifying User Reaction </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the Internet, one can come across millions of sites that deliver the same information. To stand out amongst similar sites, one needs to use web designs intelligently. You should modify designs to present content in an attractive manner.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">YouTube serves as a good example of how videos can evoke user reaction. Millions of videos get uploaded on YouTube everyday. Content, of course, determines popularity of videos. Along with it, factors, such as how encouraged visitors feel or how smoothly they share the videos contribute to their popularity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With explosion of information on Internet, the importance of web design has become more critical than ever. Web design allows experts to modify user reaction and offer visitors a unique experience. Additionally, you can encourage them to react towards the web content in a meaningful way. The basic point is to pay equal importance to content and design.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="plus-one-wrap"><g:plusone href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/are-you-making-these-icon-design-mistakes/"></g:plusone></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Icons are used in <a href="http://http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/website-design-india.php"><strong>website design</strong></a>, product promotion and for many different purposes. Icons are very small in size and you have to give attention to the minute details to make your designs successful. Even the most experienced <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/graphic-design.php"><strong>graphic design</strong></a> artists make mistakes in icon design. Here are some of the deadliest mistakes you must avoid to design a meaningful icon.<br />
<a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qws16.bmp"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-991" title="qws16" src="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qws16.bmp" alt="" /></a></p>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Wrong Object Selection</strong>- You must use the right objects for your icon to help people understand what the icon stands for. For instance, Gmail uses the image of an envelop in their icon that clearly conveys the message to its viewers.</li>
<li><strong>Not Making a Rough Sketch</strong>- Conceptualization is the most important step behind any design project. You should make a rough sketch of your design concept on a paper and use it as your guideline. Add or delete elements in your sketch, and once you are happy with your design, you can replicate using a design software.</li>
<li><strong>Failure to Understand the Audience</strong>- Your icon design will be viewed by people all over the world and therefore, you must not hurt anyone’s cultural beliefs. Icons are often designed using symbols, but symbols have different meaning in different countries. For instance, a pentacle is considered as a holy symbol by the Jews, while Christians think of it as a symbol of Satan.</li>
<li><strong>Not Creating the Icon in Bitmap Format</strong>- Some designers think that designing an icon in vector and raster format is enough. However, you need to design the icon in bitmap format as well. Vector formats don’t offer visual clarity when made smaller and therefore, you need to design a bitmap for better scaling facility.</li>
<li><strong>Using Too Many Details</strong>- Icons are generally used in very small sizes and if you add too many details in your design, your icon will look complicated. Design a clutter-free icon to make it effective.</li>
<li><strong>Adding Unnecessary Elements for the Sake of Aesthetics</strong>- Every designer wants to design an aesthetically appealing icon. However, that does not mean you can add unnecessary shapes and symbols in your icon. Meaningless symbols and lines only diminish the visual appeal of your icon. If you want to give your icon a distinctive look, you can use lighting and shadow effects.</li>
<li><strong>Similar Design</strong>- When you design a bunch of icons for a group of products, you need to make sure that they reflect a coherent look, but don’t look too similar. If all your icons look the same, it will be hard for your target audience to understand which icon stands for which product. For instance, the icons of MS Word, MS Excel and MS PowerPoint offer a matching design, but you can easily distinguish them.</li>
<li><strong>Failure to Maintain Design Consistency</strong>- When you are designing a set of icons for a group of products, like MS Office, make sure you maintain a design consistency in all your icons. For instance, if you use a particular light and shadow effect in one icon, you must use the same effect in other icons as well. Otherwise, it won’t look like they belong to the same group of products.</li>
<li><strong>Using Bland Colors</strong>- Icons are very small in size and they need to attract the viewers’ attention. If you use monochromatic or dull colors in your icons, viewers won’t notice it. Always use bright colors and go for unique color combinations to make your icons noticeable.</li>
<li><strong>Inappropriate Perspective for Small Icons</strong>- If your icon does not look good when compressed, your design is a complete failure. During the design process, you must continuously experiment with the size and perspective of your icon to make sure that it always looks brilliant from any angle.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Every designer makes mistakes, but when you are aware of the most common mistakes, at least you can try and avoid them.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Explained below are some plans of action that will help you boost the consistency of your <strong><a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/seo-content-writing-india.php">web content writing</a> </strong>and <a href="http://www.quality-web-solutions.com/ecommerce-web-design-solutions.php"><strong>website design</strong></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Back up your content with images to establish a sense of worth</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Visitors should know about your products without scrolling over images. Give your visitors a tour of your product catalog where they will enjoy the combination of images and text and also feel an urge to proceed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The key to creating a seamless image-text combination is improving the quality of the images. If the visual experience is not rich and professional and at par with the claims you make about your company, content alone can&#8217;t impress visitors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nobody likes boastful language. If your content makes sky-scraping claims about your products/services, no visitor would stay in your website for long. Support your claims with facts. Put your past records up. Let visitors browse through your portfolio and find out your area of expertise. It will justify your claims and convince visitors of your standards of service.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Compress</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After eliminating the &#8216;big talk&#8217; from your content, you will discover that it has become a lot more compact. Brief and compact content<strong> </strong>coupled with evocative design will help you garner desired results from your online identity. But only these two aren&#8217;t enough. If you want to capitalize on your content, you need to embrace a few more steps like prioritization, precise labeling and segmentation.</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Prioritization</strong> – It is about how you understand your target market and their activities and decide what you want your website to do. Create your website accordingly and get rid of any content that deviates from its objective. Present a comprehension for visitors to let them know why they are in your website. Don&#8217;t stress on how good you are in your field. Let the web design do that for you. Instead, tell your visitors you have what they need. If your web content clarifies that, visitors will automatically go further. Use appropriate headings, page titles and link text.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Precise Labeling</strong> – Create the labeling in accordance with the visitors&#8217; goals. Describe your product/service in a concise text. But let the design explain why you are better than others in the market. Cohering<strong> </strong>web content and design will allow visitors to have a sense of control.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><strong>Segmentation</strong> – This is about dividing content into several sections according to the target market or objective. The content of the home page should briefly describe the different needs of different visitors and provide links to the specific pages. By doing this, you&#8217;ll be saving your visitors, time.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Create a Narrative Tone </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For an engaging user-experience, narrative tones are very important. Web designers can create a narrative tone that will convince visitors. With intelligent content, you can experiment with different typographies and other elements that can be narrative. But you have to make sure your content and design are in keeping with each other and facilitates rich user experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Trust the Visitors</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rely on the visitors to establish a connection between your content and graphics. Remember, the higher sense of control you give your visitors, the closer you will get to them.  Enable the user to read and see what you have to offer at the same time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These points will help you create and maintain consistency in your website content writing and design. They will also help reap the benefits of your online promotional campaign.</p>
