4 Hacks You Probably Don’t Know About Website Designing

Posted by Auxilium Technology Inc on September 20th, 2021

In the zeal to always tell you new and exciting things about web designing, our expert team of website designers came up with some interesting observations regarding the field.  Make your brain tick with these cool facts.

Website design is a great leveller when it comes to delivering value to the online customer base. If your website delivers a good user experience & solves a problem of the target audience, be assured that your business is set for success.

If you have a user-friendly website, two prospects with completely different socio-economic backgrounds, aesthetic tastes, and technical knowledge will like it. Another principle that you must follow as a website designer is to keep it simple. Use as many visuals as you can and convey the idea (the product or service you sell) in as few words as possible.

Also, define a clear pathway for your website users to follow. Remember, the entire point of making the website is that the user clicks on the CTA. So, keep this as the first thing in mind when you design any website.

That said, here are the four observations made by our team that you absolutely must know:

• Hosting is Affordable

Today, all entrepreneurs, whether just starting off or already falling into the big league, have a website (if you don’t, it’s high time that you build one). And a website needs a web host. Even if you have a very basic website like Craigslist, web hosting is required.

But affordability or cost is a big aspect of deciding the web hosting service provider, especially for the bootstrapped companies.

If your website has less traffic, shared hosting is a wise choice. That’s because by using it, your website will get the space & time to increase its online presence while getting all the benefits of shared hosting. 

• Users spend the most time looking at CTAs

Your site visitors want solutions. That too, as soon as possible. Thus, make all the tabs and buttons stand out. It is possible through a harmonious interplay of shapes, colors, and fonts.  

Also, ensure that you don’t add too many CTAs. As a thumb rule, one CTA on a webpage is sufficient. Too many elements distract the user who gets frustrated due to the wide range of choices to make. 

So, don’t overwhelm the site visitors with excessive information. Also, make sure that the same color has been used for all CTAs. That way, when your prospect sees a button of a particular color, he/she will instantly know that it is the CTA, without reading the text.

• Lists invite customers to read website content

Consider it yourself. What would you rather choose to read? Long sentences written one after the other or strategic bullet points in a list? The second option must be your answer. 

That’s because it is easier & less time consuming to scan multiple points than read whole paragraphs. 

Besides, it gives a visual break to the reader. So, he gets the time to understand what he just read. Also, try to keep the bullet points in order of importance as generally, a customer pays more focus on the initial points than the later points.

• Menus placed at top of the website get more clicks

People, especially the working class, don\\\\'t have the time to thoroughly go through your website and engage in a transaction. Keeping this in mind, the best way to get the most site visits is to place the menu on top.

So, your prospect soon gets the answer he’s been looking for and his expectations from your website get fulfilled.

Besides, this will also help you save space, which can be used in conveying more about the product(s)/service(s) your company offers.

If you’re a web designer who’s looking to make it big in your arena, these hacks are sure to give you an edge over the rest. However, at the same time, it is important that you keep upskilling yourself so that you’re always relevant in your industry. 

Learning and unlearning is the order of the day. Those who incorporate this as a habit in their professional life are bound to always stay ahead of the game. If you wish to know what\\\\'s new in the web designing field, talk to the experts at Auxilum Technology.
