Where do you even start? What colors apply to you? What’s CSS3? And what about PHP? It may all be extremely confusing in the beginning, not to mention overwhelming, but there is one thing you must remember. Regardless of the structure, organization, typography, drop shadows, corners, responsiveness, or usability the most important thing when it comes to web design is whether or not the website performs its job. In other words, does the design achieve the end result you desired?
Miami Web Designer Pro knows a thing or two about “good design,” and we always love to share our secrets with our customers. So we’re going to explain just exactly what we mean using scenarios, because we realize it may be appear a bit vague at first.
Well, let’s say you designed a skyscraper that was built the one motive in mind – lease the 500 rooms of office space to businesses in the first six years since its opening. If in six years every room is full, and your business is successful, then you got yourself a “good design,” regardless of the color or appearance of the building.
Another, more web-related example, would be if you design a website for your store that was just meant to inform consumers about your locations and give them the option of shopping online. You set yourself with one concrete check mark – sell 10,000 units of your products within the first year of your website. If within a year you have sold 10,000 or more units, then your website had a “good design.”
We know it can be easy to get caught up in everything web design entails, but you have to keep one thing in mind – the reason why you wanted the website in the first place. So before you start thinking of ways your website will make it to the Webbies you need to make sure it’s actually effective.
