Web Design FAQs
What is web design to us? And what are the advantages of hiring a web designer?
Web design is the process of establishing a website.
It’s the bringing together of various elements inc:
- functional web files
- graphics
- page copy
- in-page dynamic functions
…which all contribute to how a website looks and handles to users.
A winning user experience is the key objective.
Getting users to find the value they seek from your website is key.
A web designer with the experience and track record of:
- generating web traffic
- converting the users into paying customers
…is more likely to get results and a return on investment than if you made your own website (without experience).
Therefore, it costs money to gain the professional expertise of a developer/designer – but it’s money that is highly likely to make yet more money which will come back.
Web design vs. web development?
Web design is making a website without necessarily having to write web code (HTML, CSS or Javascript).
Web development on the other hand involves, by nature, writing of code to customise functionality or appearance.
Quick web design tips
Visual elements Layout (Wireframe)
No matter how simple the website, it always pays to have your web designer produce a layout diagram of the eventual design first.
This sets a firm scope of what the end results must contain.
Adaptive vs. responsive web design
A responsive web design is one that has a page layout that adapts to positioning of page features to accommodate the size and dimensions of the user’s device i.e. mobile or tablet.
An adaptive web design is one that serves up differently designed layouts for each device.
How important is typography to web design?
Typography complements the aesthetic of the site.
The letter shapes that work best with the style of website add to the user experience.
Typography that is jarring to the general style scheme will only distract the reader and cause lower conversions.
Quality of web design code
The are two compelling reasons for quality web design code.
Firstly, quality code lasts the test of time and encounters must less malfunctions over time.
Therefore, it’s always best to ensure your web designer will be using builders and add-ons with pristine written code.
Secondly, as is often the case, you’re likely to use more than one web developer for your website. Quality written web code makes for a seamless handover of work between web professionals.
Dynamic web development
Modern websites move.
Their content is constantly being processed and regurgitated into a variety of displays.
It all improves the user experience. Technically it works by database request.
And the web language, calling and putting data between the database and the site is PHP.
As WordPress developers, we are very accustomed to using PHP to customise the dynamic nature of websites.
This leads to very satisfying user journeys through the site.
Colour theory in web design
Colours work to balance.
And amplify instruction.
We work very carefully to enhance user experience by presenting a colour palette that adds value rather than distraction.
This contributes greatly to the conversion rate of viewers into customers, subscribers or enquirers.
Cross browser web design
We all use difference browsers to view the internet. And each browser has it’s own peculiarities that affect how they represent websites.
So, when you make a website, you make it for users who might use every browser. Therefore, browser testing before go-live must be rigorous.
We ensure that whether by Firefox, Chrome, Edge or other – your website appears and works consistently across the board.
We make fast websites
Websites perform best when they load quickly.
The no.1 are of intolerance and frustration expressed by online users is a slow or glitchy website.
We make sure every website delivered is coded and build using the best, most lightweight standards to ensure the fastest results.
We measure performance against Google’s Core Web Vital standards.
SEO web design
We build websites that get found online by the right audiences – without advertisement.
This sustainable method of online marketing via organic Google search works out MANY times more profitable than PPC or paid advertisement.
