HTML - Tips On Using Colors On A Web Site
Hi there I am can make sites pretty well using full css and divs but my main problem is choosing colors and how best to use them on the site.
Does anyone have any tips please Similar TutorialsHello, New to the programming part of this all, well here's my story. Having to make my own website for a company taking shape, I was glad to be able to make a web-layout quite easily in the form of Artisteer. After this I put the page through a WYSIWYG- type of editor, namely Bluegriffon. Now, when I open the site in here, the pop-down menu on the left part seems to be okay, and I would like this element to behave just like shown in att. 1.<< Though when exporting, the ''Aanbod'' Button does not function at all, in Chrome, and in Opera, and when opening in new tab it will only show a >different than intended> drop-down menu! like att 2. << I'm confused, as I said, have very little knowledge about HTML editing. Is this fixable?, well more accurately- which part of coding should I apply for the desired effect? (drop down on hover preferred, though drop down on click will do just fine). Next question. How can I set my background to be ''Set'' Instead of moving along with the entire ''frame'' ? Last question. When making a sub-page (i.e. click on any of the sub-menu items and be directed to the page desired) , do I use the exact same page as my index.html, and simply rename it? Or are there any ''cloning'' tricks and standard issues to avoid when doing so?. Again, I am new to this all, but finding it rather amusing to do with a WYSIWYG editor, sorry to disappoint you guys for not ''writing'' the code etc myself, but time is of the essence, I need the site to be on-line in quite a short time Thanks a lot in advance, and if this is in the wrong section, my apologies ^^ Leon (> http://www.Power-Entertainment.nl < ) there is three technique of seo . black hat technique white hat technique i wud like tell u white hat technique . there is two process of seo on page title code meta keyword meta description analytics code w3 validation off page optimization. book marking submission directory submission press release submission....... and many more Its Look: Your site looks fresh and modern, while maintaining the same brand image you're offline. Choose the same colors for your website if you use in other marketing materials, and the same logo. The site must be visually appealing, with many interesting features, but not too finicky or distracting. The layout should be easy to understand, let visitors to the site easy to navigate to the pages they want. Put Your Customers First Thinking about search engines and how your page rank in Google is great, but there is no point if your visitors will simply click away from your site within a few seconds of landing. Your goal is to convert visitors into customers, so make sure your site is customer friendly. Keep popular items and contact information easy to find and keep multiple menus where visitors click a few links to find the information they need to bury your site structure. Do not Be spammy This follows from the above point, that your site must be designed primarily for visitors with SEO as a secondary consideration. Not stuff your pages full of keywords so that the content does not make sense. You also need to clearly send the wrong tactics such as adding a list of keywords to the bottom of your pages, and cluttering the site with too much advertising. Make it quick Online visitors want information fast, and they have no patience to wait while a large image or fancy graphics load. Make sure your pages load quickly, with key information charging first. If you have large files or videos, put them in a position where the reader can still browse the rest of the page, while the larger elements to load. If you have a Flash site to think about offering an alternative simple html link for visitors with slow Internet connection. Do your homework Think long and hard about your audience before you search Use Neat and Easy Navigation You make sure your site is browser compatible Minimize the use of images Use of white space Check for broken links Design for all Screen Resolution Typography Colors use good Layout make perfect Fast Loading web site designs. Clear Navigation. Browser Compatibility. Riiight, this is driving me mad http://int.jatos.co.uk/kcda/ Need to get copyright info to stay at the base of the page regardless of the length of content with without my floats in the content going weird, and I don't want to use Javascript. Anyone know a way I can achieve this, tis' is driving me MADDD! Hey Chaps, Being a professional web designer, I used to read articles in this discipline and recently got a superb one and thought of sharing it with you.. Here are 15 important website design tips that you might not be aware of or have overlooked. Consider taking advantage of them if you haven't already done so... 1. Custom 404 Pages Create a custom 404 web page, so that any time your website visitor mistypes or misspells a URL on your site, they will still be provided with navigation options for your site (instead of getting nothing but a "Page Not Found" error message, which is neither friendly or helpful). 2. Redirect Non-www. To www. Website visitors will often leave out the "www." portion when they type a URL or link to your website. Set the website up so that it automatically redirects any non-www version of your domain URLs (http://domain. com) to the www version (http://www.domain. com) of your website. 3. Properly Sized Graphics Size and define all graphics and images on your web pages properly and correctly. Web pages will load quicker if the graphics contained on each page are properly defined so they don't require the web browser to re-size them. Properly sized and defined images can reduce the web browser workload and speed up the page loading time. 4. Favicon Add a Favicon (favorite icon) to your website, so that your company or product logo appears in the URL box. This icon will also show up in a bookmark list, and gives the web site an added level of professionalism. 5. Include RSS Auto-Discovery If you offer an RSS feed for any content on your website, be sure to include auto-discovery code in the header of your website. This will allow many browsers and RSS readers to automatically detect the presence of an RSS feed and alert the visitor that it is available. 6. Alternate Domains Domain names are relatively inexpensive, so you should register multiple domain versions and extensions in order to protect your brand. The varied domains can be parked on the main website, simply to prevent others from obtaining them. Registering alternate domain versions will help protect your brand. 7. Consistent Navigation Navigation should remain consistent on a website. As a website visitor moves through the website, the navigation bar should remain in the same place on each page. This will make it easier for visitors to navigate your website, and become more comfortable as they move through your site. 8. Home Goes Home The main graphic, company logo, or "header" at the top of the site should be included on every page in the site, and should always return the visitor to the home page of the website. This has become a web standard, and most visitors now expect to return to the main page of the site simply by clicking on the main top graphic from any page within the site. 9. Copyright Notice Include a copyright notice on the bottom of each page contained on the website, and keep it current! It may seem trivial, but an out-of-date copyright notice can send a message to your visitors that the website and its content may be out-of-date as well. 10. Meaningful File Names Use meaningful file names for any files, graphics, or web pages. Many search engines look at file names as part of their search algorithm, and using keywords in file names may help to improve search engine rankings. 11. Hyphens vs Underscores When naming files and webpages, use hyphens (i.e. web-page.html) rather than underscores (i.e. web_page.html) for the file names. It is much easier for search engines to separate and index the keywords when hyphens are used. 12. Alt Tags Use ALT tags to describe what images represent on web pages. ALT tags not only assist visually-impaired visitors in knowing what the images are, but they also help with search engine ranking. 13. Spell Check Use a spell-check feature on the text of all web pages in a website. A website that contains mistyped or misspelled words just shouts "unprofessional". Take the extra few minutes necessary to check the spelling of text on each page of your website. 14. Test After making changes to a website, test it! Many times, a webmaster will upload changes, confident in their abilities, only to later discover that in their attempt to fix one thing, they have "broken" something somewhere else. Make testing a habit after making even the most minor changes! 15. Keep It Simple Simple is good. Remove unnecessary clutter and distractions from a website and navigation menu. ... Good luck mate.. TIA for your response. Hi Guys, I have owned one website, Can anyone Get me some good Tips for get traffic to my website ?? Hi people, hopefully you can help. I've made a website for a artist-run collective here in Edinburgh, Scotland and everything is getting under way. I had a few questions with some issues I have been encountering and perhaps you could send me some information on if there is anyway to fix this. http://www.modular9.co.uk/ That's the site. Some things aren't up yet but you get the idea. The main issue is with the index page anyway. I have used a collection of image paths and rollovers and if you take a look at the source you'll see my very basic, yet required, html/css. One of the issues is the delay in rollover. I understand it is because it is loading a whole image each time you rollover the tally marks, but is there any way to speed this up? Or use a script that isn't as ineffective as javascript? I don't mind the delay but I know that the rollover is meant to exist so I give it a second or two, but people coming to the site for the first time might not notice the navigation and leave :/ Also, on some of my friend's computers at college, when they click on, artists, or the about section, or contact, for example, the background doesn't show up as the colours I put down. Is this because I used css to do so? Are there actually some browsers that can't take css yet? I know it's a bit vague and a general query but any tips and things would be great to make the site more effective and smooth running. Hope you are all well.

Hi! How could we do that the links on any page of a website, be different colors? Lets say you have 10 links on your site, and make them 10 different colors. BUT, in simple HTML!? It can be done in CSS, i know, but in HTML? Is here somebody who knows this? Hi, I should really know this... I know it's possible to create a CSS page to tell the printer to print certain content in certain colors, but you know how you have to set the browser to print bg page colors prior to printing? Is it possible with this CSS page to have the printer automatically print the background without setting the browser parameters? Thanks Hi I have a form that I would like to give different background colors. The Name, Email, and Submit button is the common area of the form, and I'd like that to be black. The other areas of the form show 5 venues, each with a radio button group of three choices (each venue has the same choices). I'd like to separate out each venue with a grey background. So in summary, I'd like the entire form to have a black background, except the 5 venues, who will have grey backgrounds (so there will be 5 separate grey boxes, separated by the forms black background). I tried putting the areas into table cells, but as soon as you start separating areas, the form code isn't valid. How do you do this? Thanks for your time and help. Shaun Hi. Can someone please give me a list of subtle colors? I'd really appreciate it. Hi All, I have a quick question. I have specified colors for my links, as well as for visited, active, and hover. The mailto links work fine but not the ones linking to a web site and a pdf file in my folder. They are permanently set to the "visited" color. Hover works for all of them. Anyone know why this is happeneing? Why are the links being treated differently? Thanks. I'm not sure where exactly to put this, but I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to make it in... I'm not sure what, the code itself is HTML, but make it so that if it detects a certain string of text it adds something... such as if there was Code: bgcolor="333333" It would change it to (by detecting the ...bgcolor="... part of it) bgcolor="#333333" Hello, I am wanting to change these menu colors: http://police-explorers.com/swatservers/a/ Where it says Home, Ect. To a White. This is the menu code: Code: <ul id="menu"> <li class="first"><a href="index.html">Home</a></li> <li id="menu_active"><a href="Hosting.html">Hosting</a></li> <li><a href="Features.html">Domains</a></li> <li><a href="About.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="Support.html">Support</a></li> <li><a href="http://nitro-servers.com/clients/index.php?/clientarea/">Client Area</a></li> </ul> i'm trying to redo my adsense ads on my site (theoprahfanclub.com) so that they blend in with the page more. The ads are showing more yellow than they need to and point out more. Is there a site that'll tell me the colors used on my main page? Or can anyone tell me the html color code for the main background color? thanks.. __________________________ Hi, In accordance to an old reputation of my here, I'm bringing a new problem to the table that may or may not be able to be explained. ( Hi again Scoutt! ) There are certain form field backgrounds on this page that are displaying completely different colors than what's in the code and if that wasn't odd enough, it's only happening on some computers. The issue is not related to OS, browser or anything else we can pin down. The link just mentioned should have blue text and blue field backgrounds to all of the form entities. Now, reference the screen shot that they sent me. Here is a portion of the code for your reference: PHP Code: <form method="post" action="/app.php"> <fieldset id="contactform" style="width:300px;"> <legend id="legend" style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">NGL Event Application</legend> <label style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">All Fields must be filled in.</label><br /><br /> <label style="color:#369;" for="lastname">Last Name:</label><br /> <input type="text" size="50" name="lastname" id="lastname" value="" maxlength="100" /><br /> <label style="color:#369;" for="firstname">First Name:</label><br /> <input type="text" size="50" name="firstname" id="firstname" value="" maxlength="100" /><br /> <label style="color:#369;" for="email">eMail Address:</label><br /> <input type="text" size="50" name="email" id="email" value="" maxlength="100" /><br /> <label style="color:#369;" for="address">Address:</label><br /> <input type="text" size="50" name="address" id="address" value="" maxlength="100" /><br /> <label style="color:#369;" for="city">City:</label><br /> <input type="text" size="50" name="city" id="city" value="" maxlength="100" /><br /> <label style="color:#369;" for="state">State:</label><br /> <input type="text" size="50" name="state" id="state" value="" maxlength="100" /><br /> <label style="color:#369;" for="zip">Zip:</label><br /> <input type="text" size="50" name="zip" id="zip" value="" maxlength="100" /><br /> What is happening here? i'm trying to redo my adsense ads on my site (theoprahfanclub.com) so that they blend in with the page more. The ads are showing more yellow than they need to and point out more. Is there a site that'll tell me the colors used on my main page? Or can anyone tell me the html color code for the main background color? thanks.. ___________________ removed thank you |
