Web Design

It is important to find a web designer who matches your tastes. Take a look at your designers portfolio before commiting to them. Chances are, if you aren't impressed with existing designs that he/she has created then they are not the right designer for you.

Guidelines

AK Web Apps follows the same guidelines with every design:

1. Consistent headers. It is important that your users know that they are on your website from the first click to the last. When desiging, consistent headers inform your users that they remain on your website and haven't been sent elsewhere.
2. Consistent navigation. Navigation is the hub of your website and controls the flow of your users' experience. Once your user is familiar with the structure of your navigation they can easily find additional pages by following their instincts. For this reason, it is important that the navigation bar stay in the same location, have the same information in the same order on every page of your site.
3. Text-based navigation. Text-based navigation means that all of your links in your navigation bar are driven by text rather than images. Not only do search engines prefer text-based navigation (which means it will help you rank higher) but it makes a web administrators job a lot easier when they need to add or modify the links.
