But,if the users are not presented with any visual clues about their existences, they will hardly ever come to know it, unless they are very experimental by nature.The websites which have provision of visual clues, such as the pop up messages or the animated demonstration, makes the website more lively. These kind of features can be incorporated using advanced manipulated techniques. With features such as visual feedback, a user can recognize how they work and what they have done.

Designs need to be flexible. It's observed that users rarely hit the back button unless they have a reason to go to a previous point. A good website would have the solution for that too, by giving users control mechanisms on the current screen itself, just ensuring that what you intend communicate is still there at its place.

5)Simplicity:A design should be simple enough to cover the key areas of the users. This would provide minimalist approach for the users without overwhelming the interactions. There are numbers of users, who want it short and fast. In this case, dragging and dropping features might make them think about the time, energy and certain amount of coordination they would have to put into. Which would further dissuade them, making your communication abrupt. So provide them with simplified features, with good quality contents, or else you would find it hard to get back the same user again.

A website, with proper structured design and good contents, is all what it takes to get your own space of recognition in the world of Internet.
