Internet Advertising

Imagine a world without the Internet. A realm where websites don’t exist. A place where there are no social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook and Friendster. These sites not only serve to entertain us, but to the creators of these domains, they garner a massive amount of revenue with the interest they generate via such sites.

If you are a business owner seeking to advertise your products or services via the World Wide Web, a certain degree of professionalism is required. First, you need to ensure that your website does not take 15 seconds to load. In this age of fast moving technology, hardly anyone has the patience to sit and stare at an empty page while it looks. You should also make sure that your visitors can navigate their way through your site with ease. This can easily be achieved by placing links inside each content page, and whenever they click on your logo or site name, be it placed prominently on top, side or bottom, they should be redirected back to the home page.

Fonts are also an important factor when it comes to professional-looking sites. You do not want to turn off your visitors by inserting content done in Comic Sans. It is also crucial to determine whether you want serif fonts or sans-serif fonts (serif fonts like Times New Roman have little tails attached). Ideally, font sizes 12 pt and below should be in sans-serif so that it stays readable for everyone. With all these combined rules in visual and typography, designing a professional-looking site is not as hard as you think it would be!
