The right title
Your website name is the one thing that describes the infinite things you do in your site. It should be relevant, short and catchy.
Don’t break your head while deciding on a title for your website. Just come out of your contents and details. Put your reader’s interest before yours. Think of why are you creating the website and what is it all about. I am pretty sure you can find out just the right title that relates these two. Try to be unique and different.
A good design
Choose a template that helps your website to highlight its main features. Make sure that the layout is pleasant and enhances the experience of your readers. Choose a nice font that goes well with background.
Give easy navigation and less controls. Anyone visiting your website should be able to get the most of it regardless of age or internet proficiency. So make it clean by removing clutters that are not needed.
Final and important point, Make it responsive. You will get more traffic when you give the users the options to access your website through all devices.
Login features
It is okay to have a personal registration for your site, But having only that is one of the best way to kill your traffic. So be cool enough to give the users the privilege to login with their favorite social media platforms like Facebook,Twitter,etc. That way you ll get more visitors, likes, comments, feedback, etc
Images
Use relevant pictures that are of high quality. Especially the feature images should be meaningful and attractive that readers want to click on it and read it’s content.
Use images in between your contents if you feel its necessary. Pictures speaks a lot more than a whole article. Again, use it only when needed.
Contents
It’s the lifeline of your website. Don’t concentrate on giving a mind blowing content that’s perfect and outstanding. Because that’s everywhere. Focus on giving life to your own contents by writing your original ideas and thoughts. Let it be precise, and sharp. People like fresh content.
Be very careful not to overdo things. Don’t try to fill up the spaces by your content. Space is a very important thing.
