As the world is turning digital, your potential clients will now search you online. Owning a website might mean that your brand is legit, it does not guarantee that clients will continue to interact with you. And it\u2019s no surprise, with the current situation Digital Interaction is the need of the hour. If you\u2019re looking to drive up interaction on your website, and attract a fair amount of new followers, you need to ensure that you have a\u00a0user-friendly\u00a0website design.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to redesign your website, then here are a few\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalrepublik.com\/digitalgazette\/2016\/june\/convert-more-leads-with-a-good-landing-page.html\">website design<\/a> guidelines\u00a0for you to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Keep it Simple:<\/strong><br \/>\nUsers come to your website because they are looking for some specific piece of information, or because they need to complete some action. It\u2019s important that you get rid of any unnecessary elements on your page. If something doesn\u2019t serve a functional purpose, it needs to go because it makes it harder for visitors to complete what they\u2019re trying to accomplish on your site.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Visual Hierarchy:<\/strong><br \/>\nSimilar to the concept of keeping it simple, you need to arrange your website content so that users automatically move towards the most important content first. The goal of your website should be to lead visitors to complete an action, but you should also make the journey enjoyable for them. Adjust the elements and content for visitor\u2019s feasibility.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image image-inner-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"col2img\" title=\"The Ultimate Website Design Guide\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digitalrepublik.com\/digital-marketing-newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/user-friendly-website-tips.jpg\" alt=\"The Ultimate Website Design Guide\" \/><\/div>\n<p><strong>3. Easy Navigation:<\/strong><br \/>\nYour website\u2019s navigation should be intuitive. Visitors shouldn\u2019t have to think about what their next step should be. Your website\u2019s design should automatically lead them to where they want to go.<br \/>\nThese\u00a0user interface guidelines\u00a0will help you make their journey smooth and simple:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your primary navigation structure should be simple and at the top of your page.<\/li>\n<li>Navigation should be included in your website\u2019s footer as well.<\/li>\n<li>Allow people to easily track their navigation by using breadcrumbs on every page except the homepage.<\/li>\n<li>Put in a search box at the top of your site, so users can easily find what they\u2019re looking for using keywords.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your navigation simple and to three levels or less.<\/li>\n<li>Your navigation should be kept consistent across your site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>4. Consistency:<\/strong><br \/>\nWhile this may seem like an obvious suggestion, it\u2019s an important one that any\u00a0website design guide\u00a0will highlight. Everything from your colour scheme, to your background images, typefaces and tone of content should be consistent over all your website pages. However, to avoid everything looking exactly the same; play around with the layouts so that even though your pages are similar, there is still some amount of difference to keep your website interesting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Accessibility:<\/strong><br \/>\nYou need to ensure your\u00a0website design\u00a0functions well not only on a laptop or desktop, but on a tablet or mobile device as well. To make the most of your website, it needs to be responsive and also highly-flexible. A user-friendly website\u00a0will help set you on the right path, they are by no means a comprehensive set of\u00a0web design guidelines.\u00a0Keeping these tips in mind while overhauling your website may allow you to encourage users to interact with you more often, but at the end of the day, you need to do what you think is best for your website and your users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Pandemic, the demand of digital presence has increased than before.
