Elements of Good Web Design – Businessprodesigns.com

December 16, 2008 by Daniel

Website design is no more a difficult job but designing a great and effective website is still a hard task. This job can be easy for you if you make a proper planning before you start designing your website. First you need to concentrate on the elements with the help of which you can design a great website.

There are some key elements which you need to use during the web design process. These elements are what make your website attractive as well as effective.

Some of the main elements of web design are line and alignment. The borders and rules delineate space around elements like graphics on a web page. Horizontal or vertical, proper line work always increases the readability of a web page.

Just like line, direction is also equally important. In most of the websites you can see that there is a sense of movement in a particular direction across the design. This sense of direction distinguishes good websites from other websites.

One of the most important elements of a website is color. It is important to consider what color you are using while designing a website. When you use color keep in mind what is the theme of your website and who are the target audience. Use of bright colors can make your website attractive but unnecessary use of color can also distract the viewers. So use color according to your requirement. If needed add as little color as you can.

The texture of your website also leaves an impact on the viewer’s mind. So you need to consider texture as an important element as well. To get the right effect you can use natural texture or artificial texture.

Shape also plays a very crucial role in a website design. Though web pages are usually of square or rectangular shape you can also generate other shapes by using different images. This will give your website a new look altogether. Intelligent use of graphics will surely add value to your site as a picture can say a thousand words.

Don’t forget that viewers equate “good design” with “good organization”. So it is very important to have an attractive and user-friendly website. Your site should be easy to read. Content is the hallmark of good website. The content of your website should be relevant, informative and should capture the essence of your business.

It is also important to make your website interactive. Viewer participation can improve your sale undoubtedly. If the viewers get the answer of all their queries or can leave feed back, they will keep coming back to your site.

Finally the most important thing is to update your site from time to time. Keep your site fresh. This will add credibility to your site. If the visitors get fresh content and fresh images at regular intervals they will never loose interest in your site.

Good web design is nothing but following some crucial strategies and using these simple yet important elements.

Color Harmony: An Important Aspect of Web Design – Businessprodesigns.com

December 16, 2008 by Daniel

Color affects human feelings. Our perception is very much influenced by colors. So the use of color is undoubtedly very important while designing a website. If the color of a website is not pleasant to the eyes the visitors will not take a minute to leave the site.

When you apply a color make sure that it is neither too light nor too bright. If it is too light then it will leave no impact on the viewer’s mind. If the color is too vivid it can be painful for the eyes. So you need to choose colors that work best.

Recognizing the right color combination is very crucial as well. It is often overlooked by the designers. However remember that a good website truly depends on its colors. So it should be one of the greatest concerns of a web designer. The use of right color can make your visitor comfortable at once and it is needed since reading a text on the monitor is difficult than reading it on a paper.

While some color combinations (like black and white, pink and blue) can make your web page interactive some other combinations (like orange and purple, pink and maroon) can proved to be disastrous. Combinations like yellow-green, red-orange, sky blue-dark blue create a harmonious color scheme.

Complementary colors can also have a good effect. Use of contrasting colors like red and green, blue and orange can make your website come to live. The color of as website also depends on the theme and audience of that website. For example if it a website of garments you can use bright colors like red, yellow and green. If it is a website of toys you can use pink.

There are a few things which you should keep in mind while choosing the color of a website. The background color of all the pages of a website should remain the same. Avoid using very bright colors as the background. Also do not use more than two to three colors on a single page.

One more important fact that you should remember while using color in a website is that web browsers can read 216 to 256 colors. When a user is visiting your website he/she should see your site exactly as you have designed it. So always try to use browser safe colors.

Website Design is something which every one takes seriously now a day. If your website is not attractive or difficult to navigate, viewers are not going to visit your website. If you are not popular among Internet users you are going to loose a number of customers. So must have your own website.

Website design demands a few basic steps. Following these steps can make your website design successful. Before you start designing a website the most important thing to decide is the target audience of this business and what is your business requirement. Though you need to follow the common rules do not forget to customize your website.

The most important thing of a website is the content. The viewers come to your site for the content. If your content is not informative and relevant they are never going to come back to your site.

Along with content, graphic is also very important. Use graphics that are relevant and that fit to the content of your website. The graphics should be used as elements that complement the write up of your site. The graphics can give your viewers and idea about the products and services you offer.

While designing a website you should also remember to maintain a standard layout. Not only that but you should also use 2 to 3 standard fonts in your website. Use of multiple fonts can be distracting.

Another thing that you should keep in mind is that visitors come to your site for some information about the product or service they want and not for the ads. Give relevant ads only and keep them small so that the ads couldn’t overwhelm the page content. It is necessary for you to make money from the ads but the ads should not drive away your readers.

Designing a great website is not enough if the search engines do not find it. So make your website search engine friendly by using keyword enriched content. Follow the search engine algorithms to rank high in search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.

Once your website design is complete make sure that you test your page in multiple browsers, multiple screen size and resolution. Also remember to test your page in multiple operating systems like IE5.0 for windows, IE5.0 for Macintosh and so on.

Finally make sure that your website is user friendly so that the visitors do not get confused and can easily find what they are looking for. Also ensure that your website does not take much time to get loaded because visitors do not stick to slow pages.

Following these basic steps can result in a great website design.
