20. Do not make any text blue unless it is a link By default links are blue and website visitors are used to links being blue So seeing whole paragraphs of text that are blue instantly implies you can click it as visitors to your site will think that it s a link Try to leave text black on a white background for the best contrast to make the content easy to read e Do not make text too large Doing so results in more scrolling for the user e Do not make images too wide so that it results in a horizontal scroll bar Users are used to scrolling down but not across as well e Do not add too many moving elements on a page To start with it may look nice but after a short time it tends to get very annoying and distracting when trying to read text on the page e When writing headings try to keep them short and snappy If you find that one or two words are going on a new line try and reduce it to a single full line or put a line break in the middle to force the 2 heading lines to be about the same width This will make the website look a lot more appealing Though doing this with headings sounds a lot easier than it is Search Engine Optimisation There are two elements to search engine optimisation One element is what you can do on your own website and the other element is what you can do on other websites If you try to do anything to purposefully get higher in search results such as stuff keywords into pages too heavily or pay to get listed on
