Your site's style can portray almost everything about you, from the emotion of colour you use to the boldness of the font.

Here's my top 3 tips to help you connect with your website/blog community...

1. Typography

Typography includes size, font and colour

People usually use font sizes between 10px - 12px.

The main fonts are Tahoma, Verdana, Ariel, Sans-Serif. But it's good to experiment with fonts that suite both colour and size.

You should use 2 colours at most for your typography. Light colours are less attractive and yellow is defiantly a no go. Your best option is black. If you want another colour I'd suggest you use a dark colour for your titles.

2. Graphics

It's easy to go over the top with site graphics if you have the capability - if you do, use your capabilities to make something great, but simple.

Use at most 3 colours (not including contrasts and shades) in your site's design and graphics.

Remember to keep the colours in-line with the typography colours.

3. Logo

There are a lot of great logo themes about, if you don't use a graphic design program or your not familiar with how to use it I'd defiantly advice you to get a logo made from a graphic designer.

The logo is the most important and noticeable piece of your website. It has to be in the same style as your text and graphics etc.

These tips will defiantly help you with your site design and will attract more attention and traffic to your site.
