5 Techniques Designers Care About When Designing
Focus on the Most Important Elements
Most professional designers care about this tip, however, it should be understood, that it’s not always good to use this technique. By focusing on one area with some bright, or other colors that aren’t available on the website, the designer aims to attract attention to the respective place, where (mostly) a little information is placed (names, dates, events and locations), however, the data placed there is the most important.
Don’t Show Everything at Once
Do not show all your available content on the site at once (mostly seen on blogs), this doesn’t just make the navigation on the page much harder but it also shows all the “joy” of your website just at one load of the page. To prevent such happenings, showing just some excerpts from the content, displaying only titles with some “read more” buttons will work great. It helps the page to look ordered and some-how “tidy”.
Do Not Seek to Fill the Whole Free Space
You should not fill all your free space with a lot of unnecessary elements. Most of the time, a simple spot of free space, looks better than a place filled with ads or not needed plugins and different text. Surfing through a clean and fresh website is much more pleasant than moving through an “over-stuffed” webpage.
Having a Great About Page
The about page is the most important page on your website. It aims to answer many questions reader ask themselves, like: Who is this, What are his/her aims, What’s his/her main profession, In What does he/she specializes and so on. The page should be well constructed, also it shouldn’t contain too many personal elements like: your mother’s age, father’s weight and your telephone number. The page must contain the summary of the main information related to you, your website, and maybe your writers (if there are any).
Be Connectible via Social Media Websites
Social media websites like Twitter, Digg, Facebook and LinkedIn play a very important role in current online life. Most of the popular social media websites count millions of users, that’s why you should take advantage of it. By registering and promoting your website and articles on many social media websites does not just bring new visitors, it also connects you with a whole community. Being connectible means that you’re ready for new experiences, friends and also visitors that can enjoy your webpage.
