Hello All, This blog will describe What to do or What not to do while Designing a Website.
Below are some points while Designing a Website:
- Keep your page organized and structured: Web visitors are impatient, if the loading time of the website is slow, web pages are in a haphazard manner, fonts are difficult to read, and colors are annoying then definitely no one is going to stay on the web page. So to fascinate the visitors keep your web page organized and well structured thereby readers do not need to move to another site.
- Focus on what is important: Do not divert from your prime objective while designing a website. If you are designing the website for the sole purpose of selling the products then make sure that the focus on the home page. Allow yourself space on the inner pages to place calls to action for that specific item.
- Choose a perfect color scheme: Colors are the lifeline of web design, a combination of perfect color works as a first impression. And colors are also associated with the psychology of visitors, knowing what your reader's emotion will help you to choose the perfect combination of color. For example, if the website in the meditation niche, then the bright and loud color scheme will perfect.
- Make the web page easy to scan: Visitors will not stay on the site for a long time ( five minutes ) to figure out what your website is about and what it has to offer. Make the web page easy to scan, if you want to provide the right information to your readers. Use proper H tags to focus on the important items.
- Keep the things simple: Sign-up form with more than three items (name, email, and another item) will have a significantly lower sign-up rate than an easier form. People do not prefer long and complicated things on the website so make things easy and simple.
- Focus on killer copywriting: This is the point that makes the website stand out from the crowd. Killer and punchy words with eye-catching designs motivate visitors to stay and explore the website. Choosing the appropriate words for the sign-up button, page heading, navigation items and call to action can be the difference between a 50% sign-up rate and a 90% sign-up rate.
- Placing irrelevant ads: It is a very common thing that we see on the website. To make money from blogs or websites, people place too many irrelevant ads. Somewhere this annoys the visitors and they leave the site immediately. It will be better if you blend the ads with content strategically.
- Trying 20 different colors: Over-experiment is harmful, especially if you are doing experiments with color in the web design. Trying 20 different colors not only looks bad but also annoys your readers and drives them away. So make sure that you are blending color perfectly.
- Write one paragraph per page, that is length is more than 1000 words: If you are writing long articles more than 1000 words, then nothing can better than this, the longer you write the greater the chance to cover more aspects of the topic. But one thing that stops visitors to subscribe the blog and that is, writing longer articles without any paragraph break. This seems small but vital point, that you should not ignore. Break your content into a 100 to 150 words paragraph and make it easier to read.
- Stuff your page with full keywords: Digital marketing is the game of keyword, but it does not mean that you should use it in a senseless manner. Placing a keyword like this not only annoy visitors, but also very much chance that your website can penalize. So, place the keyword strategically where they make sense.
- Using too many plugins and heavy images: To make the design technically effective and eye-catching, people use too many plugins and heavy images that reduce the speed of the website. A website that uses two different javascript libraries and more than 10 plugins took around 20 seconds to fully load.
- Invisible links: Invisible link on the website is a blunder. If visitors unable to find the link on the website, then they will leave the site without any delay. Links are an important element, so it will be better to separate the links from the rest of the text and they should change the color after a person clicks on them.
- Visitor's Queries: There are two main reasons that visitors come to your website. The first one is to read the blog and the second is to purchase products and services. In this scenario, if your business website unable to answer visitor's queries then somewhere it is a big mistake, even you might lose a potential customer because they think that you are not able to meet their needs. So make sure that you are designing a website for humans not for search engines.
- Screen resolution: Literally, this is the mistake that is generally overlooked by the designers. To offer the best user experience to your visitors, make sure that the website is optimized for different screen devices. You must make proper planning before the designing process to ensure that your website fits various screens without any hassle.
It is very true that different technologies, helping designers to design a cool website. But a website with a simple and clear design considers better from every perspective. The Website works as an ambassador for the organization, so avoid committing the above-written mistakes and follow the above steps (what to do while designing the website) to give your visitors a positive user experience.
