It can be hard to predict what a website background will look like without actually previewing it. Even if you are an individual or a company with a clear idea of what you want your background to look like, it can be hard to figure out exactly how to make it easily readable and good-looking. For this reason, and many others, many companies hire web design companies to create their site. If you’re designing a site yourself, there are certain guidelines to follow to prevent disaster.The three main types of backgrounds are solid color, textured, and image. Obviously, plain color is the easiest to code. All that’s required is a simple hexadecimal color call. If you don’t have the hexadecimal color chart memorized, you can find many reference charts online, or tools to give you the code of a color you particularly like. Beware of using darker colors as backgroundsyou’ll have to use light-colored text, and blocks of this can be very difficult to read. It’s easier to use lighter-colored backgrounds with dark text.Textures can be added in to your background as well. You can search through archives like the one at Absolute Background Textures to find one you like, but be sure to preview it with text before using it. Textures, with their blend of dark and light coloring, can make it even more difficult to choose a text color that works well. Remember that links will change color based on whether they’ve been clicked or not.Background images are the hardest to use, which can be difficult for companies that want to feature their logo in a prominent place. If the background isn’t the right size, it will be tiled across the page, which can be distracting. Lighten the image using Photoshop or another editor beforehand to make it as inconspicuous as possible before coding it into your site.
