Adding Color to Your Website

When you're designing your new website, don't go crazy with adding a lot of different colors. This is one of the biggest mistakes new netpreneurs make. Instead, stick with one or two colors for type fonts and use a simple basic color for the page background. (white, off-white and pale yellow are good choices).

How do you know you have used good color in your design? The best way to know is to test out your website on an old, or very cheap, screen or monitor. Don't assume that all surfers will have 25-inch, flat screen or plasma screen monitors. If your website does not look good on this lesser monitor, then it could be bad page design or the wrong color choices. Always test before publishing your pages permanently!
