Good Web Design: How to Spot It and Recreate It
We have provided here some tips that will explain why many people would like one website and be totally turned off by another.Most web design companies include the word "quality" or "high quality" in their advertising. However, when looking at a website critically, what makes good web design versus mediocre design. Here are some tips to explain why many people will like one website and be totally turned off by another.
Whitespace
When it comes to good website design, one will want to look at how whitespace is used. If you look at a website and there is a good proportion of design elements and white space, it will make a big difference in the overall design of the site. It will heighten that sense of quality and the design will stand out instead of being muddled and crunched together. A website that is balanced gives an open feel that draws the reader to the images and text on the page. It also makes the design elements that much more attractive and the site is clean. When you get the spacing wrong, it can muddle up the look and feel of the website and can have a negative impact on the design. It lessens the quality look and presentation, and lends itself to a more amateurish appearance.
Whitespace distribution will vary from web design to web design, and a designer really needs to get a feel for how much space to put in the overall design. There must be allowances made for elements to fit the design, and it takes some practice to get it correct. One way that will help is by using a grid system in designing the layout. Remember that don't need to fill up every area of whitespace. Some times less is more in web design as it is in graphic design.
Fonts & Typography in Web Design
When it comes to using whitespace, fonts come naturally into play. Because the design doesn't necessarily carry over to the actual content being posted on the site, there needs to be easy to follow instructions on which fonts work best with the design. Type should be usable and readable, although as with whitespace, it's not all that clear cut.
Typography should be well thought out and fit with the design elements on the page. Titles are very important in web design, and you want to put adequate whitespace between the headline and the body copy. As stated in a previous article, headlines should be Sans-serif while the body copy can be Serif. There should be whitespace between the headline and the body copy, and with adequate spacing, it should be easy to read.
Putting all of these things together lends to the feeling that visitors have arrived at a high quality, easy-to-read website with information that's easy to read and comprehend.
