Posted by martin in : General , trackbackIn the previous post I identified one important thing to avoid when designing a Web site. Here in part two, we talk about how to use another simple web design approach to make a great home page for your business website.
Ambiguous Web Designs
In the excitement constructing their business website, people often are eager to get right in. If the already have all their hardware, they begin by finding the coolest design template, download the newest software and get carried away. In the end, everything looks perfect; the color scheme is great, the image is slick and all the contact details are there. The problem is, they are moving too fast and, again, are not looking at the website from the eye of the consumer.
Clear Web Designs
When someone visits your web design masterpiece, there should be no question at all about whether or not they are in the right place. Use these design basics.
- Put the most important info, what you do, right at the top of the page. Our eyes will tell us what is important before our brains figure it out. This will also help you be found by the search engine software.
- Color, contrast and size. The best way to grab attention us to use a contrasting color and a large font. Now, don’t get carried away, we don’t need to see orange text on a blue screen in Curlz MT font.
The goal is clear, keep people on your website because the want your product, not because your web design looks flashy. Its not a movie or a modern art masterpiece, its a representation of your business. The best way to achieve this is to let everyone know right up front what is is that your business does.
