0 Website Designing – Rule of Thumb

Website design is fun to create. But this fun is not for all, it needs an expert’s hand to be developed in style. Professional web designers design websites to grasp full attentions of the users. There are certain principles which they follow, they are discussed below:

How to embed graphics to a website: Web designers embed graphics to a website in order to grab user’s attention and convey the message concealed behind web design in a logical manner.

User- Oriented Design: Professional web designers have a full command over the design theory. Therefore in addition to filtering and blending, those designers make the design of the website which gives a value to the user and user can interact with the design easily.

Keep the design Simple: At several occasions, users are searching for the information rather than a design; therefore a web design must not be ambiguous so that users can get the information they are looking for.

Sitemaps and wireframes: Sitemaps and wireframes should be designed in a way that user can interpret easily how the site will work.

Effective Writing Style: Website content should be designed according to user’s preferences and keywords should be highlighted in bold. It’s not a good idea to deliver overstatements to a website.

Grids: A page without grid usability is a nightmare; therefore web designer’s uses horizontal and vertical grids to make it easier for the user to scan and read to pick something out of the website.

Negative Space: White space is a supporting element for eyes. Absence of text and graphics in a website not only make your eyes share where to go but also give rest a bit to eyes.

Typography: An ideal size for typography is 11px but it shouldn’t be less than 10px or 12px for a body text. Varying size of the typography for distinct contents can make it easier for the user to read.

Colours: Colours stand for different meanings in different culture. Likewise white symbolize ‘purity’; and green represents ‘nature’.

Conclusion: In short web design serves as a genuine tool for web designers to portray online business image in style. Good craftsmanship can stand out the weak design while a poor craftsmanship won’t give a chance for a strong design to stand out.
