Important areas of a webpageWhen a webpage is being viewed there are some universal reactions by your visitors to be considered. Certain areas of a webpage stand out to most people who will visit your website.Some webmasters say that the top left corner of the page and the bottom right corner of the page are the most important, according to the frequency it is used on the Web. |

Take note of the two red areas in fig. 4;Area 1 is the first spot your eye will jump to when viewing an unfamiliar page. Because, in general people read from left to right and top to bottom. Be sure to use area 1 wisely. It is the first point of contact between your website and a visitor. This is where your logo or title should go. Area 2 is another matter. Research by various service providers has shown that this area can be a hot spot for your links. People often click through on links that are positioned in this area. Think of it as turning the page in a book when you've reached the end. Putting links here provides the visitor an invitation to read on. This area is especially good for articles and pages with a good amount of reading material. Your visitors, once they have read the article or body text, will tend to click on links in this page position. Usually they will do this to gain further information on the subject at hand. |
