Improving the Quality of Your Website with Good Graphic Design

Improving the Quality of Your Website with Good Graphic Design - By: S. ReevesMorris, Posted on: 2007-08-31

Try to picture the websites you frequently visit. Now consider the graphics on those websites. You might think immediately of a particular color scheme that coordinates with the company’s logo. Or you might think of a particular image that displays a service that the company provides. Perhaps you think of the way the items are displayed in an online inventory. And in some cases, you may not be able to picture any graphics at all. Madison graphic design varies in style and approach, but if you want to garner the best results from your website, you need to decide what you want out of your graphic design.

If you are looking for good examples of graphic design, Madison is a good place to start. The websites of several Madison businesses make great use of this element in helping users to identify the business and get the most out of their online experience. And that’s the point of all this web development stuff, right? The customer.

Good graphic design can have several definitions. But most professional graphic designers will point to five basic building blocks.

Balance

One thing you will observe in high-quality websites is their ability to balance the content, navigation, and graphics on each page. The page should not seem excessively heavy on the right or left sides, nor should it be top heavy. It's true that you need to consider how people will see the page, taking into account the tendency not to scroll if they don’t have to, but when you look at the page as far as what is visible on screen, does it look balanced or does one thing overpower?

Rhythm

You may be asking yourself, “Rhythm in a website?” Yes, this is an essential element of a good web design. How do your elements move from one to the other? Is there a natural flow of information? As your eye moves across the page, think about how you progress from one area to the next and figure out if there is good rhythm.

Proportion

This is imperative to user-friendly sites. If you have ever been to a site with huge bright colored blinking text, you know that proportion is vital to return visitors. On the other hand, don’t cram huge graphics on a page. You can either shrink them or remove them.

Dominance

As Balance and proportion are important, but you also need to make it clear what the important elements are on the page. If you want to draw attention to the navigation bar with links to affiliates, you need to highlight this. If you want the customer to take note of the great search feature you installed at the top of the page, put it where it can be seen and use appropriate graphics to make it a dominant element.

Unity

If your page looks like a jumble of content from five different sites, you may have trouble getting your main point across. Similarly, if each successive page has a different format or color scheme than your homepage, you lose the unity of the site. Stick to a uniform color scheme, graphics style, and font.
