InspirationBit.com tells us which are the 8 most important aspects you will need to consider at the time of beginning to make a design for a Web Site.
1. Failure to Communicate
Designing a web site means delivering the client’s or project’s message. So a clear communication is the key factor here. It’s also about finding the right solutions for the project’s tasks and needs. When the client says he/she wants a fun website, with some movements, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the entire site has to be done in Flash. Often the client doesn’t know any better, at first the Flashy animation might be welcomed but later on the same client may be facing many problems down the road when his visitors start complaining about the lack of content, slowly loading pages or poor usability of the site. It is important to have the communication going both ways - the Client tells the Designer what are the site goals and needs, the Designer educates the Client about the possible and better ways of achieving these targets.
2. Usability = Success
Usability is all about making your website visitors feel at home when browsing the pages, searching for some information and actually finding one, it’s about making them feel welcome and encouraging to come back again and again. It’s like when friends are coming over to your place and asking for a cold beer: “Where do you keep it?” Your answer would be none other but “Where else, in the fridge”. The navigation on any website should be as obvious and easy to use. Sometimes it’s much better to compromise the design for usability rather than having a website with a stunning design but a nightmare to use.
