No need to be a super genius or a super brilliant to bring ideas like that., you simply have a sensitivity to the world of the Internet and a culture that is in it. As a good web site manager you should be able to receive feedback from your site explorer and should also be able to see trends that exist in the outside world.
Through this article attempted raised some simple ideas derived from various sources including from some experts (web designer, web author, etc.) based on observations of the Internet explorer as well as to some existing websites. You can bring their own brilliant ideas as your own, simply by expanding your knowledge of trends, culture, and technological advances that exist within or outside the world of the Internet. Then just pour your ideas into your website and see the results after that take the feedback (input / criticism / suggestions / praise) for further refinement.
I. Loading Web Site Process Must Must Quickly Without Waiting
Internet users want information presented quickly. Just imagine how bored a web visitors having to wait a relatively long time to download an entire web page. He could just click on the button "STOP" to turn off the download page and then turn off the auto load images from a browser or even move to other pages faster.
It seems so trivial, but if not anticipated then your efforts to build an interesting and beautiful site will be in vain. Since the constraints of access speed is the application of traditional print design techniques including multimedia interactive techniques on your site must be thought through. Therefore, in making a site to consider making a web design and graphics are beautiful but in terms of the size of the files are small enough. It should be considered to anticipate the site visitors who are not too fast Internet connection.
II. Effective image the file format
One of the problems associated with it is a matter of image files. In the world of the web we can see the process of loading various image file formats, and between the existing formats, which are often used are JPEG and GIF formats.
Related to the problem of file size and the loading process then use the appropriate image format is the main requirement:
1. Use the GIF format if:
- Your image contains many large empty area and flat color.
- You want to make sure that your graph can be accepted by all browsers and platforms.
- You want to create a transparent area on the graph.
2. Use JPEG format when:
- Graphics You have a variety of tonal.
- Your graph is a full-color photography.
III. Create multiple versions of your site (HTML, PHP, etc)
Currently, web technology is growing rapidly, on the one hand it was spur of the web designer / web author to make web pages more beautiful and sophisticated. But on the other hand, it also means the need for higher access speeds. Therefore, when you design / create a website and if your site server still have remaining space big enough then it could be several versions of the site. For example, version A site for visitors who have a relatively fast internet connection (can be seen in the next section) and the B version of the site for visitors who have a relatively slow Internet connection.
Example:
(-) Some sites provide an HTML version of the standard and its version Shocked that require additional plug-ins and of course a faster access speed.
(-) There is also a version that provides text only and text and images.
IV. Use the Advanced Multiple Web Technolog
Many designers create a site using the tool of sophisticated software such as Flash, Dreamweaver or using Active X technology, Dynamic HTML, Java, JavaScript, and others.

In addition we also know the JavaScript Java, JavaScript is a scripting language that is different from Java although it has the structure of language and concepts that are similar execution.
Examples of the use of Java and JavaScript: Reminder, Calendar, Shopping Carts, Calculators, etc.
[*] CGI technology which is a mechanism for interactive client-server communication. By using CGI so visitors can interact with an interactive web site. CGI Scripts can be created using Perl, Unix shell, C, or other programming languages.
Some of the benefits of CGI:
- Relatively faster than Java.
- supported by various client and server platforms.
- Can be used by clients who use the graphical broser (Netscape, IE and others) or a text based (lynx on UNIX).
Weaknesses / limitations CGI:
- Spend more time is relative compared to the Java process.
Example of a CGI: Search Engines, Database Access, Webmail, eCard, and Others.
[*] Shockwave technology from Macromedia, create director document can be played on the Web. Director has been commonly used, at least for the designers of interactive applications, which is believed to be the device creation of multimedia applications that luxury. By using Afterburner, director programmer to compress and create Shockwave documents that can be viewed from any browser that has been installed Plug-In Shockwave.
VI. Plug-in
To be able to enjoy these web technologies, not rare visitors to the site should have a special plugins for their browser. For example:
(-) To enjoy the sites that use Shockwave and Flash from Macromedia is required Shockwave and Flash Player plugin that can be obtained at www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/
(-) The files Real Audio / Video requires player you can get at www.real.com

There are several ways to make visitors interested in our web site:
