Content Marketing
Accessibility
An important part of usable content is accessibility along with discoverability. A user must be able to navigate through a site with ease and find what they need quickly. When we design a website for our clients, we want relevant information easily accessible while also being rich in content.
The robust content is what allows for SEO (search engine optimization) while the most important content such as company/contact, products/services, location, main goals etc must be highlighted and easily located.
We know the importance of providing all the different types of content and where it belongs in website design. As a developer designs the site, these pieces of content must be purposefully placed in order to maximize search engine optimization and content flow for users.
Appearance
Web Design Expressions knows the power of appearance. When all content is in the correct position, it still needs to be designed in an appealing and polished way. A website should look updated and display itself as a valuable resource by a company/individual. Content can be designed in a multitude of aesthetically strategic ways.
- Highlighting content you want users to notice
- Providing new details/examples
- Animation/effects to excite
- Indicates a trustworthy site
Users will quickly judge a website by its design appearance usually over how it functions. This all comes down to how to site is collaboratively built by the client and the developer.
Readability
Websites should be designed with a clean, readable font that isn't cluttered, crowded or difficult to read against the background. Web Design Expressions works with a large library of standard and custom fonts that are both easily readable and visually appealing. Images and animations should help a website flow and improve the overall design, not distract from the content.
Colors are also a very important aspect of not only readability but comprehension and theme. Colors can be customized to fit the overall theme, logo, content etc. Variants of colors should be compatible, uniform and simple. When the website’s design comes together, all elements in the site should be easily found, read, and understood. The internet is vast and saturated. Users have many options and a site needs to meet a minimum visual standard.
