Website Design Basics you should know
These days there are so many web development tools and technologies available to a Website Designer that many of us forget that the underlining concept of website design is usability. Any new website development gadgets and tools we use in our web design should be used to make the website look nice and modern without being too complicated to use.
Some of the website design concepts you as a website designer should know (or you as a customer should ask your web site designer for) are:
- Impressive yet usable web design: Your website homepage is the first thing most of your visitors will see. So it is important that the first impression you make to your visitors is professional. Don’t overwhelm the visitor with too much information or too many colors or flashy items. The font size should be decent so that visitors can read information on your website easily.
- Easy to navigate: Make sure that the navigation on your website is easy to use. As a website designer, your duty is to develop a website design that allows users to navigate to information in internal pages easily and readily. If users can’t navigate on your website readily, they will very quickly navigate to another website. As a web designer, you have to ensure that the web design you develop engages customer with the website.
- Content is the Key: For visitor conversion to customers, content is the most important part of your website. In almost all cases, website designers develop a web design as a vehicle to provide information. A good website design plays the role of reading or going through the content easily.
- From Web to Phone: It is very important that visitors to the website find contact information as quickly as possible. If your’s is a brochure website, the main role of the website is to make the customer come to your office or pick up the phone and call you or at least quickly send you an email. Make sure that your phone numbers are mentioned promptly on every page or if your website design doesn’t permit it, it should be easy to go to your contact details page.
- Quick to Load: Although many people these days are on fast internet connections, you as a website design must ensure that any website design you develop load quickly. Don’t unnecessarily include too many flash and graphics if they are not innate to your website design. As our internet connections get faster, our patience keeps on getting thinner.
