Some tips to get started 

A web page is created for a reason, that people visit it, be interested in their content or product, either by buying, reading, sharing ... and returning, that is, having a good browsing experience. There are 4 important factors to keep in mind when we want to create a web page:

• Design: When designing a website, you need to know what users are looking for in order to respond to their needs. You must book a prominent place in our brand or identity on the homepage and throughout the portal, our visitors should be clear about where they are. Originality is a plus to differentiate ourselves from the rest of the pages, but we must take into account the usability of the page, that is, that the user should be able to navigate easily, easily and comfortably. Simplification facilitates navigation and enhances interaction. In the design in general there are also modes; these are the current trends:
• Hamburger menus or hidden menus, which allow you to offer a cleaner view of the web
• Hero images or large screenshots that attract visitors' attention
• Eternal scrolls to man, to have all the information on a single page without clicking and entering new pages
• card or modular designs, presenting the contents in countertops, by theme and rectangular, in the style of Pinterest or storytelling , explain a story through the scroll or the pages to connect with the user

When designing our website we have to take into account all these things and have very clear what we want to communicate, put on the skin of our visitor and, above all, test the page before publishing it.

• User Experience:either because the user has arrived by chance or because they have found us in a search, who visits our site must find all that he can easily find, feel that he is in a pleasant place that invites him to stay " There you will have to visit it again, not having problems with your device to find everything you need, recommend our site to other users ... therefore, your experience must be positive. That the design is responsive, that is, that it adapts to all kinds of screens, it facilitates this experience because it focuses on navigating content, eliminating the problem of the medium. We should not forget to include a section with all our contact information so that users can solve all their doubts and make suggestions, thus establishing a bidirectional communication channel.
• 
  
• Contents: If we have a good design but the contents are not of interest or useful for our visitors, we can hardly attract the public to our website. Among the vastness of the network, our website must add an added value, especially in the content. It is also important to make it easier for them to be shared easily on social networks, in this way they will reach more audiences.
• 
  
• Development: excessive download time is one of the main reasons why users leave a web page, therefore, we should reject those elements that provide nothing and distract the attention of users in the search of content that the interest

What should not be done?

• An excess of advertising can make our visitor go straight away from our busy website. Do not place more than 3 ads on the page to avoid this.

• Another thing to avoid is videos or audios for automatic playback. Do not bother when a video starts playing and nobody asked you if you wanted to see it? The user must be able to decide if they are interested in this content, with the automatic reproduction they have no decision-making power and will end up leaving the portal.
• The pop-ups or pop in either first or second place, are elements that bother most people avoid them will remain our goal.
• Do not use capital letters within the text, because it is interpreted in networks as if voice was raised and not underline words that are not links, to avoid confusion, allow our user to concentrate on the content that they seek and move away -to distractions
