Website usability determines the success or failure of a website design. Since the web visitor is the very person who is going to do the clicks and thus holds much importance in the eyes of the businesses, user-centric website design has taken to the first-row position when it comes to inculcating important elements in a web design, for profitability.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article today, I am not going to discuss the implementation details, such as the placement of the search box and all, but the main principles and approaches for effective web design.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Effective Web Design Principles<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

In order to effectively use the principles, we must first understand how a web user thinks and interacts with websites.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Web<\/p>\n

<\/span>How a Web Users Think?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Basically, the way a user acts at a website is similar to the way he acts when at a store. Visitors land on a website and they put in a glancing gaze at about everything. They only happen to stay when they find something that interests them. If they don’t, they will simply move on.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>What Do Users Appreciate?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Users basically look for information. they don’t really care how is it coming to them. Through the content or through the visuals. This is the very reason behind the success of websites that offer users a chance to acquire relevant information through lots of content and in such cases users are ready to compromise a little on the quality of the overall website design.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>How Do Users Analyze?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

When a user lands on a webpage, they instantly look for some anchor points which would guide them through the content of the page. The process starts with scanning. Even wondered why we have highlighted text and fancy fonts lying in the middle of many web pages. These are the anchor points that help users build attraction and relate to the topic. The engagement begins here and onwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>When Do Users Leave?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

When the website fails to deliver what the user is looking for, both in terms of design and content, is the time when the user intends to navigate away.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Don’t Make Them Think<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Any website design that is created keeping the users’ engagement in mind should be as obvious and self-explanatory as possible. If the navigation and site architecture are not intuitive, the number of questions in the user’s mind will increase and it will get hard for him to comprehend how the system works, thus agitation will build up in his mind and induce him to leave.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Work To Build Up Attention<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A website provides a mix of both static and dynamic content to the user. However, there are certain elements that attract more attention than others do. Images are of them. Eye-catching, interactive images work wonders when we use them to build up visitor’s focus on any one web element.<\/span><\/p>\n

The human eye is a highly non-linear device, and web users can instantly recognize edges, patterns, and motions. This is why video-based advertisements are extremely annoying and distracting, but from the marketing perspective, they perfectly do the job of capturing users’ attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Expose the Core Features<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Modern web designs<\/a> are usually criticized for their approach of guiding users by steps, along with large buttons or visual effects. But if we see them from the design perspective, these elements are all but bad. Such step-by-step guidelines for fulfilling any task are extremely important as they lead the visitor, and the business owner wants them to be led in a user-friendly way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Letting the users know what functions are available is among the primary principles of a successful user interface design. And as long as it’s achieved, it doesn’t really matter how it’s done. It’s the end result that matters the most.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Keep it Simple and Silly.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The keep it simple, silly (KISS) principle should be the primary goal of every business owner who chooses to get a website designed for his\/her business. although the website design is important, however, it just works as an eye candy for the entire experience. In most cases, the web visitor is looking for information than the design only, and it is the design that compliments the information transmittal process. A user-friendly content-rich website that is well-designed serves the purpose exactly right.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

So these are the few effective web design principles that I think should be included in any website design if the main aim is to please web visitors and induce them to make a sale or fill a lead. Please do note that these principles are the important ones, but not the only ones to be followed. <\/span><\/p>\n

There is a long list of them, and including all of them will make the post very lengthy and less interesting. I will come up with similar posts soon that will enlighten you on factors that can help you in creating beautiful yet performing website designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
