Professional Website Design

The design of your website is a very important part of the overall success. The design can either attract people or repel them, depending on what you do and how well you do it. It plays an integral role in whether or not someone will spend time looking at your site. There are many things that go into designing a professional website-colors, fonts, layout, navigation...the list goes on and on. With so many aspects to consider when designing a new site, it can be difficult for even the most experienced designers to decide what would work best for their client's needs.

The first step in creating an effective design for a web page is understanding who your target audience is going to be; this includes their age, gender, and occupation. Once you know who your target audience is going to be, the next step would be to figure out how they're using the internet. This will help determine which type of design layout may work best for them as well as where on the page a particular element should go in order to get more attention.

Different Types of Website Design Layout

• Content-Focused Layout - design is focused on the content and what's most important.
  
  
• Hierarchical Layout - design is focused on making it clear where someone should go to find what they are looking for.
  
  
• One-page Layout - design is focused on getting the most important information up front and then letting visitors decide whether or not they want to continue browsing.
  
  
• Two-page Layout - design is focused on giving visitors information in a logical order. Designers should be sure to think about the visitor's experience while they're designing their website; this includes how much time it takes for someone to get what they need from your site as well as understanding any limitations that come with specific browsers or devices.
  
  
• Three-page Layout - design is focused on breaking information into logical sections and then letting visitors navigate between them.
  
  

When designing a website, it's important to remember that the goal of your site should be for users to find what they're looking for as quickly as possible without being overwhelmed with other unnecessary content. The general layout of any website should also be easy for visitors to navigate.

As with font and colors, the navigation should be simple and straightforward. Visitors shouldn't have to spend time trying to figure out where they are or what the site is about- this will only cause them to leave for a different website with less confusion.

The headline of your website, as well as the first few lines of text that appear on any page, should also be designed in a way to draw people in. This is an opportunity for you to grab the visitor's attention and make them want to read more.

There are a lot of steps involved in designing a professional website, but it's worth doing your research and putting time into creating something that will be successful- both now and later on down the road when changes have to be made.
