Top 10 tips to enhance your web designing skill

Earlier we have discussed the concept of web design, now let’s look at some pro tips to trigger your web designing skill.

1. Have a concrete plan:

You just can’t start designing a website. Web Designing is plan oriented process. To gain proper effectiveness you must track your customer footprints in order to give the best experience of your website.

The web designing part comes in the next step. The concept is to answer the right question at the right time. Use the strategy to map your customer footprints and use them to plan your web page according to that strategy.

2. Remove unnecessary trash from your website

You have to design your webpage very intelligently. Don’t use any content or material in your web pages will result in loss of valuable customers or readers (in case you are designing a blog page). Try not to put any complex animations or too long contents that will bore your readers. 

Science says that average people have a concentration span of 8 seconds ( when they see random new things). So your responsibility is to design a webpage that will impress your visitor within that short span of time.

The strategy here is to include short and catchy phrases and animations and appropriate headers. Try not to use keywords that are being used every day by every web page developer.

3. Put your social media details and links on the header in a button format

A lot of organic traffic comes from social media. In terms of web page designing, social media plays a very powerful role. You have to use this power to gain organic traffic.

You have seen that in blogging websites or on any website there are social media options on the top of the webpage. These social media links allow you to directly share the page on the social channel of your choice.

Most of the time, social media traffic is generated by those readers who are already reading and following your posts and content.

4. Include Call To Action (CTA) on your webpage:

Call To Action buttons acts as a guide for your visitor. It directs the visitor through your websites and helps them to take a step by step complete tour of your website.

Call to action means that you are supporting your visitor with the service that you are providing through your website. Your call to action field should be able to solve their pain points. Once you solve their problem then you will get the trust of the visitor and you will gain organic traffic.

There are several sections in a webpage where you can put CTA. But it is best to put it in the top or bottom section where the visitor will more likely visit. But don’t put all your CTAs on the top. 

You may observe that your visitors spend most of the time on the top section of your webpage but that does not mean that they are looking for any action. A lot of persuasion takes place at the bottom of the page.

5. Use appropriate images

Creative and appropriate images mostly catch the eyes of a visitor. You should wisely choose quality images and graphics to include in your website.

The best option to get most of the visitor’s attention is by displaying images which have human faces. Faces are very powerful imagery. Images with faces make your webpage more soulful.

Try not to put any kind of stock images which are already used several times. Stock images can become really monotonous for the reader. And trust me you don’t want to bore your reader.

Images with faces can also act as visual cues. You can also try using arrows and animated graphics to draw your visitor’s attention.

6. Give them what they are looking for

Another important attribute of web designing is website navigation. Your website should be perfectly organized. So that when traffic is visiting your website then they should be able to find out the service they are looking for.

Lean navigation is always a better option when you’re designing a website. Some of the characteristics of lean navigation include streamlined content, hierarchical and organized design.

7. Test your predictions

This is an important point. Suppose you have designed a webpage and now you have published it on the Internet. But your task does not end here. You have to check whether your assumptions are working.

You have to keep track of the types of traffic visiting your website and the users are behaving in a way that you have already expected. If not, then you have to look for the issues and fix them. Otherwise, there is no point in providing a service that won’t help the visitors.

8. Strategic linking from service pages to blog posts

If you see that your visitor is on a service page, then your aim should be to convert them into a lead. You have to put opportunities in the pages in your traffic is visiting otherwise the will land on a page that is less focused and will generate less leads.

Blog posts usually have more distractions. Therefore, it lowers the chances of getting a lead from the incoming traffic.

9. The art of stealing

Yes. that’s true. If you are designing a website on your own then you should know the art of stealing. But let me get cleared here. I am not talking about directly stealing content and formats and themes from other websites but you are allowed to borrow some ideas and steal some of the design.

It’s not always like that you always have to come up with new creative ideas. The internet is full of common things and ideas that you thought you were thinking for the fan get the first time. You can get a lot of inspiration and innovative ideas from the Internet and build your own unique website.

The strategy is to learn and adapt from others and design your own webpage.

10. Feedback is important

Feedback is a vital entity of any business or service in the world. If you don’t have the feedback of your customers or traffics (in case of websites) then what is the point of providing a service.

A feedback section in your webpage will help you to understand what type of traffic is visiting your website and what you can do to gain more loyal traffic and how to improve the quality of service that you are providing.

Feedbacks can also help you to introduce new innovative and creative content on your website. And as a result, your website will rank higher and you will quality organic traffic.

Finally

These above-mentioned points are the keys to designing a perfect website. All these points are well researched. You can blindly follow these points if you are going to start designing your website.

As previously said, this blog will help the readers who already have a website and those who are totally new to this field.
