There are a lot of guidelines you can follow to make your website more ergonomic:

  • The Law of Good Gestalt: Is my logo simple and easily recognizable?
  • The Law of Proximity: Are my contents/clicking areas of the same type physically close?
  • The Law of Similarity: Do my buttons / clickable areas look alike (Size, Shape, Color, Content, Behavior)?
  • Fitts Law: Are my profitable areas big and close enough?
  • Miller’s Magic Number: Do my menus and pick-lists contain between 5 and 9 items?
  • Hick’s Law: Are my offers simple and in appropriate number?
  • Readability of the visual language: Does my content and clickable elements stand out from the background?

Where and how can I register my own domain name?

The first step is to see if the domain name of your choice is available.  You can check a domain registrar like this one to see if anyone has registered the domain you had in mind.

If the one you had in mind is available in the TLD extension of your choosing  (.com, .net, .org, etc.), congrats!  You’re off to a good start.  You can then proceed to register & pay the yearly registration fees associated with this domain so that it becomes yours.

However, if the domain you wanted to register is taken, you have 3 options:

  • Look to see if the domain you want is available in a different TLD extension (.com, .net, .org, etc.)
  • Look for a different domain name entirely
  • Or contact the owner of the domain name using the publicly listed WHOIS information to see if they’d be interested in selling.

This domain registrar is great for beginners as well as pros, because with every domain registration, comes free hosting.

The free hosting option is fantastic for those who want to get started right away and don’t wish to seek out a web-host separately. Something to keep in mind.

However, if you have money to spend, and you want a domain that’s sure to be already registered, you can always explore a site like Sedo or Flippa — 2 excellent marketplaces to purchase existing domain names / existing websites.

When choosing a domain name, what should I look for?

Just as keywords matter to Search Engine Optimization (SEO) — keywords matter to domain names, too.

A truly great domain can be many things. They are often pronounceable or short, memorable, and of course, descriptive

When deciding on that potential new domain, look for domain names that are keyword rich. Nothing beats having one of the main keywords you’re targeting in your domain name.

What makes a website Responsive?

There are a lot of things to take into account when you’re thinking about making a responsive website:

The habits of the users

When you think responsive, you have to take into account the habits of the users on mobile devices, such as:

  • are your navigation tools clear, within a finger’s reach?
  • does your page have an acceptable loading time of 3 seconds or less?
  • are you geo-targeting?

The layout

We recommend responsive designs rather than adaptive with the following elements:

  • Max width & breakpoints, with a Mobile First mentality.

The media

You also need to be careful when it comes to media. For instance, avoid using flash whenever possible since it’s not supported by enough mobile devices. You’ll also want to keep all your media at a fair size for the fastest possible loading times..

Finally, here are the media formats we recommend most for Responsive sites:

Media Format(s) Image JPEG, GIF, PNG Sound MP3MP4, M4A, AAC Video H.264
