BP2-Business Casual: The Definitive Guide for Women To Be Stylish AtWork
Good web design has visual weight, is
optimized for various devices</a >, and has content that is prioritized for the medium. The most important
elements of a web page should have more visual weight to
“naturally attract” a visitor’s attention.
Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design
is making something memorable and meaningful.Dieter Rams
Most users search for something interesting (or useful) and
clickable; as soon as some promising candidates are found, users click.
If the new page doesn’t meet users’ expectations,</strong >
the back button is clicked and the search process is continued.
A good website should be easy to navigate
Not all websites are made equal. Some websites are simple, logical, and easy
to use. Others are a messy hodgepodge of pages and links.
Without website navigation, your visitors can’t figure out how to find your
blog, your email signup page, your product listings, pricing, contact
information, or help docs.

Creating visual rhythms in your layouts
In design, rhythm is created by simply repeating elements in predictable
patterns. This repetition is a natural thing that occurs everywhere in our
world. As people, we are driven everyday by predictable, timed events.
One of the best ways to use
repetition and rhythm in web design</a >
is in the site’s navigation menu. A consistent, easy-to-follow
pattern—in color, layout, etc. Gives users an intuitive roadmap to everything
you want to share on your site.

Diving into UX and UI design
UX and UI: Two terms that are often used interchangeably, but
actually mean very different things.
So what exactly is the difference?
Styles come and go. Good design is a language, not a style.
Massimo Vignelli
UX design refers to the term “user experience design”, while UI
stands for “user interface design”. Both elements
are crucial to a product and work closely together. But despite their
relationship,
the roles themselves
are quite different.
Breaking down the barriers
Design is not the end-all solution to all of the worlds problems</strong >
— but with the right thinking and application, it can definitely be a good
beginning to start tackling them.
