Website Design

Your website’s design is the representation of your business online. Just as your business premises reflects to a customer the values of your company in the real world so does your website in the digital world.

Good website design is not simply about the look and feel, although clearly first impressions are important, its also about substance. How well can someone navigate around your site? How quickly do the pages load? What are the calls to action? Usability and utility, not visual design, determine the success or failure of a website. Since the visitor of the page is the only person who clicks the mouse and therefore decides everything, user-centric design has become a standard approach for successful and profit-oriented web design. After all, if users can’t use a feature, it might as well not exist.

Some factors that you should consider when designing a website are:

• Don’t make users think
• Don’t squander users’ patience
• Manage to focus users’ attention
• Strive for feature exposure
• Make use of effective writing
• Strive for simplicity
• Don’t be afraid of the white space
• Communicate effectively with a “visible language”
• Conventions are our friends
• Test early, test often
