Your website should be easy to scan. Various tests on usability demonstrate that most online readers do not actually read all the content; instead, they scan it for something that interests them. Emphasized text is more easily scanned and helps readers along, also better ensuring they return. Keep the most pertinent information near the top of the page. Your visitors will enjoy their time on the website more.
It’s a good idea to set up your site so that it can retain a copy of user information that must be entered repeatedly. For instance, people may already register with your site, and you should have it set up to preserve their information if they choose so they don’t have to register again. Creating “sticky”‘ information in this manner makes the whole process much more simple and smooth, and your visitors are sure to appreciate the time you save them as well.
If the site you are designing is large, make sure to include a search option. The upper right of the main page should have a search box for users to search your whole site. If you can’t code one yourself, Google and a few other websites offer free search functionality for websites with no programming required.

It is recommended that you refer back to the suggestions offered here while laying out the rough draft of your design and lead it down the path to an effective live site. With enough traffic, your financial goals are within reach.
