Web design is an artsy and skillful interface. In order to
master it, you have to instill in your mind some basic rules.
What are these rules?
1. Do not center everything. Doing so will just give your web
design a scattered and disorganized look. When it comes to
layout, centering tends to waste so much space. Try to maximize
space. It is there for a purpose. Do not overlook that purpose.
In a nutshell, use space with cautiousness so as not to appear
scattered at the same time not crowded. Use columns for better
organization. That way, the contents are easy to read and the
images will not appear as an eyesore.
2. To make your page more attractive, apply an efficient
contrast. Contrast can be applied to color, size, value and
weight of an image. Contrast has something to do with the
clearness, brightness and volume of an image, logo or graphics.
It can also be applied to texts and other objects of the web
design. If you get it right, your web design will look organized
and easy to scan. Be assured that the viewers will not find it
hard to glance and search your site's contents.
3. Be sure that sections are well separated. It must be easy to
trace and the contents are easy to read. To distinguish one
section from the other, you can use different colors or a thin
line will do. Using borders is also a good remedy. Another
option is to use blank 'buffer zones'. This is somewhat similar
to the concept of borders and dividing lines the only difference
is that you are creating invisible lines to separate the parts
of a page.
4. If web design is the queen, the king must be the content.
Thus, to make your site functional, make sure that the
information is tight and full. So not waste the space. Put
something in it to make it productive.
Bear in mind that your site is not mainly to entertain their
eyes. It is there to cater to their needs, answer their queries
and tickle their fancies.
