Do's of Website Designing

Website designing is not an easy task. It requires special skills and understanding the mentality of the site’s target audience. Not every designer who learns Java Script, Flash, CSS, HTML and Photoshop can be a great designer-the skill sets of a person depends a lot upon how he or she deals with the real challenge of making a website usable.  

Website designing is a tricky chore and some things work whereas others don’t. As a professional website design company, Eclick Softwares and Solutions has discussed about some important do’s of website designing, which every website designer should follow: 

Do’s 

Make the landing page visually appealing 

The world may say that people don’t just judge a book by its cover, but that is not true always. When it is buying a product or availing a service from a website, the first thing people do if they are not aware of the brand is see how attractive the website is. They see the landing page or the home page first. Only if they find the site attractive or visually appealing, they move to the inner pages and search for the information that they are looking for.  So, in order to increase the sales of your client’s site, the first thing that you will need to do is focus on the landing page. 

Allow your page to load in 1-2 seconds 

Visitors are generally very impatient. They don’t wait too long for a site to open in a browser. So, if a site takes more than five seconds to load, the visitor usually jumps to another site, which is more faster than this one. What’s the result? The visitor buys the product from the other site than the one that took a long time to load. So, you should make sure that the web page, which you design loads in 1-2 seconds. If not, that would the affect the sales of the business. 

Make the navigation easy 

If a site has more than 5-6 pages, make sure to give the visitors an easy way to move around the website. Make use of a simple navigation menu system right at the left or top of the page. Your visitor should be able to search what he or she is looking for with just 2-3 clicks. You can even design a visible search box on the site for the visitors to search in an effective manner. 

Choose the right colour scheme 

Before you choose the colour scheme for the site, you need to understand who will be the site’s target audience or visitors. Only if you know your visitors’ emotions, you will be able to choose the colour scheme for the site properly. For example, if you are designing a site for medical professionals or healthcare industry, a lighter and more open colour scheme is what the visitors will prefer. So, choose the colours accordingly. 

Develop a responsive site 

It has become of utmost important these days to develop a responsive layout when it comes to website designing. With a responsive layout, a site can be opened in smartphones as well as in laptops and PCs. So, when it is responsive, website owners do not need to design a mobile-friendly site and desktop-friendly site separately-all can be done with one layout. However, whether the design will be responsive or not will depend on the client’s budget.

Focus on the text 

The size and font of the text should be easily readable. 

These are some of the most important do’s that every web designer needs to follow when designing a website.
