Visited Link: Navigation links on your website helps the visitor in understanding their current location. Knowing their already visited links and current location, they can easily make a decision as to where to go next. In some web sites, it's difficult for the user to differentiate between the visited links and unvisited links since no colors are used to differentiate between these links. When visited and unvisited links are of the same color, the user gets confused and ends up revisiting the page already visited.

1. Use Proper headings for your paragraphs or points.
2. Use bullets to indicate the points.
3. Highlight the keyword (example: Website Development)
4. Short paragraphs
5. Include some examples to make things more understandable.
6. Use simple language and avoid grammatical mistakes.

So create your title according to your webpage. Include information that specifies what the user will find on that page. For home page, begin the title with your company name followed by a brief description of the site.
