There are so many subjects to cover when it comes to web design, but in this part we are going to take a lighter approach and look into various web design tips that will help you get started in no time. Let’s get started, shall we?
One of the most important elements of a website is navigation. Users must be able to navigate to different pages seamlessly, and it is your job to design effective yet simple navigation for the users to use. Don’t forget to create and update a sitemap so that users can find any particular page easily; you can use the sitemap for other purposes as well, including search engine optimization.
It is very easy to go overboard with design elements, but the modern trend of web design is actually cleaner layout. Even with a lot of design elements you can still create a clean layout that your users will enjoy. Make sure the content of your site is easy to read and that all design elements are placed strategically to support the content, not the other way around.
Your users will certainly use different web browsers and view the site at different screen resolutions, so make sure you pay close attention to compatibility. It may not be easy to create a site that works superbly when viewed using every web browser, but you can easily create a site that scales well when viewed at different screen resolutions. Use CSS to help you achieve these objectives and make your site even better design-wise.
