How To Make Effective Web Page
Creating  an effective Web page is not always easy. However, if you pay attention  to the key elements for success in Web design and development, you  should be able to achieve the task. A Web page design will only be  successful if the approach is tailored to its purpose. For this reason,  developers need to consider the aims and objectives for any website  project before and while developing it.
Content
The  content of a Web page is the most important aspect of it. All other  steps and techniques involved in Web design and development are  ultimately aimed at serving the content, presenting it to best effect.  The content of your Web page is the reason people will visit it, so it's  vital to ensure it is created to a high standard.
For text content, an effective page will only include well written language. For the purposes of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) your content needs to be structured to perform well in the search engine listings for the key phrases potential visitors will be searching for. Regularly updating page content also helps with SEO performance.
Media
Depending  on the purpose of your Web page, you may wish to include multiple  different media types, including text, data, images, video, audio and  interactive animations using Flash or JavaScript. In a successful Web  page, the media items will be selectively chosen to suit the aims of the  site. While people now expect a good level of sophistication and  engagement with a website, it's also important not to overwhelm your  visitors with too much media content or to distract them from their  purpose in visiting your site.
Navigation
Navigation  in Web design operates both at the level of the website as a whole and  within the individual pages. If you have a long page with lots of  information and sections within it, you can use HTML anchors to provide  shortcuts to these areas, allowing users to focus on those elements they  are most interested in. Within an entire site, clear and simple  navigation structures using menu elements allow users to achieve their  goals quickly and effectively.
Style
Most  websites use a combination of HTML, CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) code  and images to create an effective visual design. The visual design of a  successful Web page will be focused on presenting the content to users,  in a way that encourages them to carry out whatever tasks you want them  to, while they're on your page. Many developers create design mock-ups  using graphic design programs before implementing these in Web page  markup and style code.
Interaction
Web  pages are not static objects like paper documents. Users expect to be  able to interact with a Web page, using their mouse and keyboard. If you  are tailoring your website to mobile users you may also need to handle  interaction using touchscreen components. Many website elements can be  interactive, including user controls such as buttons and menus.  Interaction within a successful Web page will also be tailored to  website aims, often implemented using JavaScript code.
