Web design is as much a science as it is an art form. While half of the job is based on sound coding and design know-how, the other half is based on just having an intuitive sense of what looks good and what doesn’t.

 

All these website elements combined together form websites. Often, the meaning of "design" is perceived solely as a visual aspect. In reality, website design includes more abstract elements such as usability, ergonomics, layout traditions, user habits, navigation logic and other things that simplify the using of websites and help to find information faster.

"People are craving this great progress in electronics, going after computers, the Internet, etc. It's a giant progress technologically. But they must have a balance of soul, a balance for human beauty. That means art has an important role."

-Mstislav Rostropovich


Design is the most powerful marketing tool. The development of the Internet and the increase in demand for website building have given rise to web design. The purpose of modern web design is at the interface of style and aesthetics, functionality and logic. This is a professional artistic and technical activity on designing user interface of websites.

It’s design that makes your website unique, providing a visual translation of the brand’s philosophy.

The modern Internet is the most competitive market, and professional design services are a tool that can favourably showcase your brand. A high-quality web design engages the target audience’s attention, allows significantly strengthen your positions on the Internet, attract new customers, and improve your image. And vice versa, bad “template” design makes even the most valuable information go unnoticed.

An Effective Web Design Strategy Starts with Your Brand

In my view, web production is more than simply building a website or providing a web service.

I don’t just make websites — I aim to create the development strategy of your business on the Internet.

It’s impossible to get by only with taking care about the "beautiful" design and technical aspects when developing this type of website: it’s necessary to have a smart strategy, consider marketing and business tasks, moreover, you will need sound analytics and competent forecast.

A website is overwhelmingly a convenient and effective business tool. It must perform specific tasks and meet its goals, and its style and functionality have to be 100% consistent with the overall strategy.

So why do we need a Web Design Strategy? Because, of all of these strategies, only your Website Design Strategy is externally facing. Let's put Website Design Strategy into context to clarify how these strategies work in tandem.

Your Website Design Strategy is about making it easier for your customers and prospects to engage with you through your website. A successful website design strategy yields a user experience characterized by:

Clear messages, often a primary message with other supporting messages. Starting with a logo than can be used consistently on various platforms and in print is often a great way to starting your "brand." Below are sample logos.

 

Levels of content, from high level overviews on the homepage, to successive levels of depth and detail on interior pages.

A "library" of interchangeable content offers utilizing a consistent visual design that grabs the reader's attention. 

-Design that is "Responsive" allowing tablet and smartphone users to enjoy the same satisfying experience they get on the desktop.

 Uncluttered overall visual design that uses images, color, type and scale to guide the visitor in a predictable path toward relevant content.
