Website Builder Tutorials: How to Set your Page Size
Another simple tutorial for you this week, but a useful one nontheless. Setting the right page size can completely change the look and feel of your site, and it of course allows you to ‘frame’ your words and pictures. The WebEden website building tool make changing your page size very, very easy.
Let us know how you got on.
The artist that I’m currently building for had seen another website that had a really small page - and it looked v effective - very simply laid out and limited colour palette.
It was very easy to change the page width and height. I’ve even explored the .ico icons options and, for anyone reading this who needs a personalised icon file, but who doesn’t know how to make a 16 x 16 .ico file - go to majorgeeks and download Easypicture2Icon. (other gizmo/app sites ARE available LOL!) Makes them in nanoseconds and can really make your finished website look professional.
Best

Thanks for that icon advice Alison - very appreciated.
When it comes to page size, many people assume that bigger + more info is better. But design is often about keeping things simple.
Take a 5 second test: can someone understand and appreciate your web page in just 5 seconds? If they can’t, it might be time to simplify…
