When it comes to web design, many people are of the opinion that all that matters is the aesthetics.
“When it comes to designing a website, there are many factors that need to be taken into account. Most people think of aesthetics but they will only get you so far. Designing or redesigning a website goes way beyond its appearance.
We ensure our clients’ web services are accessible, easy to navigate, conventional and user-centric. At Elements Design Studio we always ensure we know our clients strategy and goals before we commence the design stage.
Web Design Checklist
We are a web design company from Scotland, UK and here are the most important guidelines we focus on when designing websites. .
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”
- Leonardo da Vinci
As Glasgow Website Designers we have been designing websites for clients across Scotland and beyond for years. We know how to make a website stand out from the crowd but more often than not, simplicity is key when it comes to have a successful website. Some people think having images everywhere or stuffing the page with content is the best approach. In our experience, less is more. We know the recipe for excellent design and it starts with simplicity.
Navigation
They say that not all of those who wander are lost. We disagree (at least when it comes to website navigation).
No one wants their website to be a maze, especially for a customer. Intuitive navigation is a key aspect when it comes to website design. We make our clients websites navigation friendly so that all information is easily accessible, easily found and maze-free. This is important so visitors can find exactly what they are looking for in an easy and quick manner. We know the tools and tricks to make this happen.
Accessibility
In the last 4 years, smartphone usage has increased by 394% and tablet usage has increased by a whopping 1,721%. What clients now need to make sure is that their websites are accessible across many different devices and screens.
Making a website easily accessible comes easy to us at Elements Design Studio. Our web designers know how to make sites user-centric on all devices.
Conventionality
Internet users have become accustomed to specific web conventions such as placing the main navigation at the top of a page, placing the company logo at the top either left or centre of the page, clicking the logo redirects a visitor to the homepage and so on.
User-centred
One of the most important factors is the user-centred element. Websites must be user-centric as it is from them the website is being made for after all. This simple website design tool is often overlooked. As a top Web Design Company in Glasgow, we at Elements Design Studio make all of our clients websites as user-centred as possible.
