Planning for success
Website design for better performance
Usability
Like the phrase ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, effective web design is judged by website users and not the website owners. There are many factors that affect the usability of a website, and it is not just about how good it looks, but also how easy is it to use.
Planning
Good design starts with good planning. Creating a website, especially from scratch, takes a lot of effort and time. You don’t want to waste and money by figuring out the design of your site as you go. Think of your site as a project, a project that you have to plan out and start working on with the already made plans. Approaching your website this way will save you time and money
Websites that are not well designed tend to perform poorly, making it all the more important that you focus on aspects like navigation and grid-based layouts when creating a site.
Simplicity
Never underestimate the power of simplicity. In fact, simple design is good design. It is important to apply the idea of simplified design to your website. You want your site to be easy to navigate. Make navigating your site into a simple and pleasurable experience and your users will stay.
We live in a pretty cluttered word. There’s new information cluttering our minds and e-mail boxes every few minutes. The last you want is for your website to be cluttered.
Your website should be easy on the eyes and easy to navigate. This is why you should make sure that your site design makes good use of space.
