Tips and tricks of web development for beginners
As a startup web developer, you do require tips and tricks on how you can be able to engage in the art of web development. Nowadays, a website is an essential tool for any brand that is interested in surviving in the ever competitive market. Bigger companies such as Uber, Facebook or Twitter also depend on their websites for the dissemination of information and other activities.
Although, a lot of people will tell you building a website for a startup is not quite an easy nut to crack, this article is written to expose you to some specific tips and tricks on how to become a successful web developer in the nearest future. These tips and tricks will assist you in setting up the best websites in the world.
1. Pay attention to content
For web developers, content is king. Over the last few years, the major companies in the tech world have dedicated a lot of time into making websites available to all categories of users. For a startup web developer, if you want your site to stand out, then you will need excellent contents.
To do this, it is advisable for every startup web developer to have a generalised idea on what the customers and visitors will like, he or she should be able to determine what each visitor should do while on the site. Learn the skill of optimisation so that all users can have access to your contents. Ensure your contents are unique!
2. Be Intentional with Social Media
As a startup web development agent, you are required to be conversant with all social media platforms, so you can easily connect with your customers and direct them to your site afterwards. The mistake most startup web developers make is to capitalise so much on setting up a social media profile, that they lose sight of setting up a great website. Be ready to engage your customers through social media.

This tip requires you as a startup web developer to introduce your clients to the links on a gradual basis. Bombarding them with links to your website may send a wrong signal to them. As a startup web developer make your social media page as unique as possible. Visitors tend to get bored when the site is similar to what they have seen before.
3. Keep Your Color Scheme On-Brand
Never make the mistake of not being consistent with the colours of your choice. Remember the site is not all about you but your clients. Approach your colour selection with the same mindset you did to the social media. Let people relate your site to a particular colour brand. As a startup web developer, let your colour tell a story about your brand. Use only colours of the same shade and blend them to work together.
4. Create Obvious Navigation
A lot of startup developers tend to make navigation on their site quite impossible. When people visit your site, bear in mind that all they are interested in is the type of content you offer, and the aim will be defeated if they are not able to find their way around. To make navigating your website easy, the best way to do this is to think about the structure of your site before you even commence developing. Organize it and make sure it is appealing to the audience.
In your web development, ensure you give a space for a clear menu on your site where the visitor can access links to everything on your site. This should be able to guide the viewers on where to go to by mere looking at your menu.
5. Be unique
On a daily basis, plenty of websites keep popping up. If you want to survive where the giants are taking over the market, you need to be as unique as possible. This is surely not going to come on a platter of gold for a startup developer like you, but practising will surely do the magic. To do this, remember to pay attention to the colour schemes, then to the menu list. Let every part of your site infer a story about your brand.
