Not every time, we achieve success in our web designing
projects because web designing is not completely designing. The creative part
is important but it is a part of our efforts.
It is essential for
starting ground work to set some rules:
- With client, setting up first meeting
- From client, collecting and defining briefing document
- Sending to the client, the questionnaire of the project and waiting for the response. Everything will be repeated until the desired agreement and then finalizing questionnaire from the client
The list is very long so focus on the following.
Only creativity is not important
There are countless parts of web design apart from
creativity. If a page is useless, you cannot make it useful by making it
pretty. All the time, style does not matter. You should realize now that a web
page must provide something useful and interesting to its users. Presentation
is the next stage. First you should worry about to make your page useful or
interesting for the users.
No one can concentrate, on the page of your website, when
something is flying around. You cannot read a newspaper while someone is poking
from your shoulder. Animations and sound files are a menace for the users who
have slow connections. You should think about all types of users prior to
adding sound files and animations.
Scrolling Text
Not only the scrolling text is annoying but also the users
are unable to read it with their own pace because they have to read it with
your provided delivery speed. They want to read some specific information but
the scrolling does not permit it; hence, they have to read every word of the
text. Scrolling text is not important, your visitors and their feelings are
more important. Think about the people and their response while designing a
compelling website.
Pop-up windows
Similarly, you cannot expect the success of your website if
it is full of pop-up windows. Several pop-up windows show that the owner of the
website does not care about the interest of the visitors and he/she mainly
concerns about his/her own interest. The perception of the user about your
website is important. You should see things with the users’ eyes.
Text over background
Text over backgrounds is the sign of low quality because
sites comprising of this element has many other user-hostile factors. For
instance, recently, we viewed a website with image background. The site also
has other hostile factors such as countless embarrassing misspellings, blatant
keyword stuffing, poor quality animated GIFs, links with the similar color of
the surrounding text, internal links popping-up into brand-new windows, and
annoyingly slow time of page loading.
Final words
With far less important information and with a
huge image of 144k, you cannot expect regular users’ "SEO" visits and conversions.
