The visual aspects of a website are taken in before the content is, and attracting visitors to a yoga website is difficult if the design is boring and plain. An appealing website is well-organized and easy to maneuver. If people cannot find what they are looking for with ease, they will often move on, and this is a visitor and potential student that is lost. The colors used should not clash, and the font should be something professional and easy to read. Pages should be clearly labeled, and navigating the website should not require more skill than flying a jet.
