User Friendly Web Development

Nowadays it's not so tuff to create a web development that is user friendly. But it only takes some thinking ahead. When initiating web development the first thing to consider that is about the audience. Always the content and the style should cater the audience preferences. A web designer should take a look at the websites which they generally visit and take note the qualities that are most appealing. Now what makes this website so appealing? Is it the graphics that are offered? Does the text seem to flow logically? Piecing together positive aspects of different websites will aid in the basic concept of the desired web design.
These aspects that have been taken from other websites can be pieced together to form the desired web design. For web development we think like the average web surfer that is visiting the website for the first time. Always make sure that the pages connect logically for the user. Don't forget to provide them with information and navigation cues. Having a better way for them to be able to navigate between pages efficiently will aid so much. Never underestimate the use of the back cue on a website.
A sound knowledge in HTML & DHTML in web development should not be forgotten. It is valuable in the implementation of the website designing. Design templates will help to keep consistency in the development of the website. If at all possible test the web page before it is finished. This will make sure that the web development that was implemented had the desired effect and is indeed user friendly. Another aspect to include that will keep the development plan user friendly is to create an extendable directory and a basic file structure. Organization is the key.
