User experience

First of all, let’s talk about user experience. Knowing your target audience and what they expect from a website is the secret to effective web design. What are your visitors expecting when they go to your website? Do they visit for informative articles, entertainment or to shop or avail of your services directly?

Brand image

Your business website should be reflective of your brand image. This should be consistent throughout the whole site, from design, typography, images, colour palette and especially in your content. Effective web design should incorporate the company’s colours, logos and taglines for establishing brand identity in your customers’ visual memory. The legibility of fonts, the colour harmony and the appropriateness of images used are all crucial in increasing user engagement.

Mobile-friendliness
