Looking for a web design agency to handle the website design and development requirements of your brand ? Before you dive right in, understand the key principles of good web design.
1. Easy to navigate:
Good web design makes it easy for users to find what they’re looking for without forcing them to read through a lot of extraneous text or hunt through tabs or menus that don’t make sense in the context of the page’s content (or lack thereof).
2. Uncluttered:
Good web design uses whitespace generously—not just for aesthetics—but because it allows users’ eyes to focus where you want them to focus (on your content), not on navigation elements or other elements that distract from your content’s message or purpose.
3. Communicative:
Good web design doesn’t use too many words on any one page. Keep paragraphs short and limit them to three to four sentences per paragraph if possible. Be judicious about the words you use – only use as many words as necessary to convey a point.
4. Responsive:
Good web design is accessible from any device or browser, on any platform, at any time. It should look and function the same way for users who are accessing it from different points of view (from a laptop or desktop, or on their phone).
5. Sharable:
Good web design makes it easy for customers to share (and hopefully love) what they’re seeing and experiencing with their friends and colleagues via social media channels like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc.
6. Adaptive:
Good web design anticipates how people will use it, and adapts to them as they interact with it (for example, by allowing users to scroll through a lot of content quickly without having to click on each individual link).
7. Search optimized:
Good web design is optimized for search engines (this means using keywords and tags appropriately while still making sense) so that people looking for what you have to offer can find you easily online when they go searching on Google or Bing or Yahoo! or whatever else they might use.
8. Accessible:
Good web design ensures that all forms on the website are easy to fill out and understand; this includes things like contact forms as well as any other types of forms which might be required throughout different sections of the site itself (such as checkout pages).
9. Simple:
Good design is simple enough so that anyone can use it – whether they’re a novice or an expert in your field!
10. Honest:
Good web design is honest about who you are, what your business does, and how you can help people. It’s honest about who it is for: the people who need what you do, who will use your product or service and make it worth your time to create.
