The Golden Rule of Web Design |
Everything we do has its rules, and web design is not an exception. Some simple moments have to be known by everyone who works in this domain.
At the beginning of creating your web page, answer to a simple question: “Why am I doing this?” Because a site without a clear and well-defined purpose launch a message unconvincing and dull.
The visitor will ask, no doubt, "What serves this site? And if doesn’t satisfy his needs will rush to leave it.
If we take a look at all pages/sites, we can see that they are not made just to be on web. Everything must have a purpose. Every single part and element must help users achieve their goals and support the site's goals.
What means success in web design?
Success isn’t just professional skills, each of us can learn the basic elements of web design but not all will achieve the level of a “good site”. But for having a really great web page everything must be in a perfect combination.
Success is a result of good thinking plus some hard work, in which everything goes perfect with the site’s goal. This is what I call “golden rule”. All the elements from your web site must have well defined purpose. It must either guide the visitors to achieve their goals, or support the site’s purpose without forgetting the visitor’s goals.
Every single step of the process applied in accordance with the principle of Golden Rule will make a result that can bring you the success.
