5 Tips To Make Your Website Shine

One of the leading web designers from Singapore’sleading creative ad agency brings to you the 5 tips YOU NEED TO KNOW! To ensure that your website is ahead of the pack!

1.)    Less is more

“The beauty lies in simplicity”

The 80/20 rule applies here, always remember when designing a website that 20% of your website should display 80% of the content. We always have the temptation to “Add More” But as a designer you must remember that clarity trumps persuasion. Another thing that I faced when I was starting out my career was that I was afraid of the white spaces. Don’t be afraid of the white spaces, they are an integral part of the website and must stay there to look clean and sophisticated. Get rid of the clutter.

2.)     Design every page as a landing page

“Details are the difference between good stuff and great stuff!”

What most web designers think is that a user enters their website through the homepage and navigates into the site, whereas research shows that majority of visits for most sites begin on a page that is not a home page. It is imperative for you as designers to ensure that  every page has some key information. 

3.)     Intuitive Navigation

“Inspiration exists but it has to find you working!”

Research shows that confusing navigation layouts mostly result in people quitting the page, rather than figuring it out. Put all your not so important links at the bottom of the page, create an icon button that takes you to the home screen directly and always make sure your side bar is not cluttered and only important/relevant information is on it. Simplicity is the key to success.

4.)    The Buttons

“When you pay attention to detail, the bigger picture takes care of itself!” 

What a lot of web designers miss out on is the buttons on their web pages. There are plenty options available for a designer, you can change the font, change the color or even change the opacity, when the use is hovering above the Submit or Send buttons. Increasing the overall appeal of your website and showing your attention to detail.
