    Hi Friends,

    Web design can be deceptively difficult, as it involves achieving a design that is both usable and pleasing, delivers information and builds brand, is technically sound and visually coherent.

    These are only my opinions and I’ve tried to link off to more reading on subjects.So please read these as they are intended–just some observations I am sharing…

    1. Precedence (Guiding the Eye) : A simple example of precedence is that in most sites, the first thing you see is the logo. This is often because it’s large and set at what has been shown in studies to be the first place people look (the top left). his is a good thing since you probably want a user to immediately know what site they are viewing.

    2. Spacing : When I first started designing I wanted to fill every available space up with stuff. Empty space seemed wasteful. In fact the opposite is true.

    Spacing makes things clearer. In Web design there are three aspects of space that you should be considering:
    * Line Spacing
    * Padding
    * White Space

    3. Navigation: One of the most frustrating experiences you can have on a Web site is being unable to figure out where to go or where you are. I’d like to think that for most Web designers, navigation is a concept we’ve managed to master, but I still find some pretty bad examples out there. There are two aspects of navigation to keep in mind:
    * Navigation — Where can you go?
    * Orientation — Where are you now?

    i have some more principle for web designing. if you want to know replay me.

    if you have any suggestion you can also write me.

    Thanks.....

    As design tools make web development more accessible, more people are creating personal websites.When steering a good design, the user should be shown around the screen by the designer. Most of the web designers call this priority, and it’s about how much visual weight given to different parts of your design from design tools.Here in this site the principles are much helpful.
