It is equally important to undertake browser testing. It is useful to check your website on every browser on all operating systems. You do not know what systems your customers are going to use. What is more important is that, whatever may be the combination it should work. You can also make use of validators to check your HMTL documents. These validators can help you to comply with the W3C norms as it checks if your webpage has the ability to work on most of the browsers.

It seems odd that you can design a website without any formal training, but if you want to ensure that you do not end up reinventing the wheel, it is better to take up some formal training. You would be able to know the existing norms and principles as well as trends and acceptable layouts and style rules. This can make your job easier keeping in line with the norms that are used in the field.

You can also make use of the log files in your web-designing endeavor. Log files seem tedious but can be very valuable to you as a designer. You can make use of the different log analysis tools to find out what actions people take. You can find where people go from your front page, what place or section do they click most and what pages are least like or accessed by them. This information can be used to ensure that you build a site that can work toward improving areas lacking as well as improving things in the areas where customers are highly responsive.

Remember it is easy to make changes to the web pages. If you have created a design and it doesn’t seem to be working, you can make changes accordingly to ensure that it looks attractive as well as very useful. Designing a web site is fun and an art, and a deeper look tells you how much of a science is behind it.
