Creativity
In order to succeed on the web, you just have one chance to make a first impression that stands out. With so much competition in the market, any of these items that are not perfect can cost you potential clients:
Navigation and Website Structure
A site map or navigation menu lists the sections, the order in which the pages appear, and the links leading to each page on the site. Users typically use navigation menus to find their way around a site.
Layout and Design
The layout determines the appearance of your information and media, as well as the possibility of scaling for mobile devices. An attractive layout ensures that users will easily locate information.
Branding and logo
Colors, fonts, and visuals which distinguish and represent your company and remain consistent throughout time.
Pictures and videos
You should use images, animations, videos, and graphics with care to not overwhelm the reader.
Content
It’s divided down into easy-to-digest parts that are keyword-rich, scannable, and designed for both humans and search engines.
Graphic Design
Besides your logo and other design elements, you should also consider the overall appearance and functionality of your site, as well as the appropriate integration and saturation of design components.
