What makes a website design unique from others? What are those must have elements that your website should have. Here are all those important element listed for best website design.
(1) Simplicity is the best:
There are many people who think that site with flash and javascript only makes a great looking website which is just a myth only. Even over use of Javascript and flash will make website design unnecessarily complex, bulky and looks ugly.
Also if your site has some useful information and if it is required to access by people even though they have not done any business with you yet, still make sure that such information is freely available. Don't make that information limited to access via some JavaScript or Login page.
Also, over use of Flash and Javascript will make your site slow in loading which is again not a good thing for your website.
(2) Rich Navigation:
Navigation is one of the most important elements you should take care about while website designs. Always try to design user friendly navigation system such all users and visitors can navigate easily in your site.
Also keep in mind that you will have navigation system such that user can reach to your home page from any internal pages of your site.
(3) Use decent and professional colors:
Always use colors which are decent and looks professional in website design. Never use such colors which cause strain to the eyes. This is necessary if you want that people should visit your website again and again. Proper use of color scheme is also required as it consumes your content of your website. No matter how awesome your website design looks if the color combinations used in your website is strain-full. Always make sure that the background of your site should be lighter than the text color of your site.
(4)Table less Design:
Nowadays designers prefer to go for table less design for website designing. Design your website with CSS, with that you can make your content and your navigation bar appear in a linear fashion. Also site designed with CSS is called most search engine friendly designs.
One good thing about using CSS is when you need some site-wide changes then you just need to do changes in CSS files. No need to change each page separately. In this way CSS is time saver too.
These are basic but very important elements that one should always include in website design to make it excellent for both Users and Search Engines.
