What Is Web Design Anyway?

If you are reading this article, you are probably looking for a web designer? Before you go into more details, perhaps you were wondering what exactly is web design.

In general web design is an act of selecting and coordinating of available components (images and text contents) to create the layout and structure of a web page or a website.

Here below are five the most important components you need to make a great website?

1) A purpose. Sure, you may not see a purpose and a goal of a website they way you see articles or pictures, but a purpose is the most important components of your website. Is your website supposed to send potential clients to go to your office or is it supposed to have them call you? A website without a clear purpose is almost always fail, so make sure you have a clear goal what is the purpose of your website.

2) Content is king. It could be images, articles, portfolios, or even your business telephone numbers. Whatever it is, make sure that your audience find what they are looking for and your content is presented in the most effectively and attractively ways.

3) Navigation. Navigation is like a map. You would not want to go to a new place without a map. Navigation could be a series of links, a drop-down menu or a menu bar. Make sure your navigation looks pretty, located at the same position on every pages and easy to follow. The last thing you want is to have your audience getting frustrated trying to locate information they are looking for.
