Website Design
Website design is not just about visual appeal although, this is inevitably the first thought the word 'design' conjures. Tempting though it is to reach for pencil and paper or a graphics program such as photoshop, the result, in the end tends not to be successful. Traditional website designs have been theme or effect driven, leaving the content to be fitted in where possible. Always in such a manner that would not break or detract from the site's visual impact.
A new and marked reversal in this trend is evident, where content is the first consideration and the formatting or design is formulated to be not only consistent with but, enhance the display of information presented.
There are many aspects to website design including the following:
- Visual design: strong effective branding, ensuring that your on line presence is memorable
- Maintaining and reinforcing the role as a communication tool is its primary function
- Usability: visitors can be impatient, more so, if they have to spend their time investigating how to retrieve the information they are seeking.
- Interface: clear, effective, site navigation clearly demonstrating the site structure and avoiding visitor frustration.
- Interaction: where visitors are required to interact with the website in some way, whether gathering information or buying a product or service, efficiency and ease are the key.
- Overall, keeping all aspects as simple as possible, by avoiding unnecessary complications,in coding or images. The overall effect being higher efficiency and faster rendering. Wildly popular websites such as Facebook for instance have very simple uncluttered interfaces
