Web apps and Web Design

Most accepted research has shown that a visitor will only wait six to eight seconds for a site to download - after that he will skip on somewhere else - so don't have lots of graphics on your home page – make sure it downloads quickly. It must be easy to read - don't have a heavily patterned background or lots of colors - it might look nice but people won’t strain their eyes. Show your visitors exactly what they have to do to navigate your site, obtain information, buy goods, etc. Don't leave them thinking what to do next. Ensure visitors can navigate easily and make everything as clear as possible. It is an attractive 'look and feel', user-friendly and well thought-of web design that influences web users to take the time and look around a web page.
