Ten Useful Tips from Experienced Web Designer Veteran

Web designing is becoming essential these days. Web designers need to remain updated and upbeat. Listed are 10 useful tips from experienced web designers all around. Read them on and improve your skill without ceasing. Here it goes.

1.      Simplicity is the way- Craig Leontowicz

“Simplicity is my tip for web all designers.

Being able to blend site goals, such as sale conversions, lead generation or new email subscribers with clean simple design the epitome of good design. I always want to put the user’s needs first with easy to read content or straight to the point navigation. Hopefully quickly and easily answer their query without overburdening the visual aesthetic of the site or bombarding them with irrelevant info.

Always be improving, evolving and changing the site in search of the elusive 'perfect design'.”

2.      Perseverance is the key- David Walsh

“Continue to push your abilities by learning new skills and not shying away from challenges. Also never forget that becoming a great designer or developer means learning skills and experimenting on your personal time. Lastly, if you don't have a blog, you're missing the best chance to showcase your skills. Blogging has changed my life and can change yours as well!”

3.      User experience should be focus- Joshua Miles

“As brands continue to place more of their energy on website design, many are focusing heavily in UX. I think that’s great, but don’t forget that UX goes far beyond your website. “User Experience” should be considered in everything you do. If you’re designing a new website in 2015, the best piece of advice I can give you is to make sure that it reflects your brand identity across the board. Take stock of every customer touch point that your brand has and make sure that you’re reflecting that experience in your website design. If you’re leading-edge and innovative, build a site that reflects that. If you’re detail-oriented, make sure you don’t cut any corners. Anyone can build a good-looking website, but building a website that truly embodies your brand will help keep your business booming well into the future.”

4.      Experiments should be done- Jacob Cass

“Experiment - Try different tools, learn a different program and challenge your old ways. We often get stuck in our own comfortable routines, but there are so many ways of doing things. You should make a conscience effort to try something new. You never know what you may learn!”

5.      WordPress is good- Roger Sievers

“2015 with it brings an opportunity to capitalize on some growing trends. Not only the explosion of WordPress continues, but the specialization of themes. There are a lot of options for web designers who work with WordPress to build Online Education Websites, eCommerce websites, booking and event management sites as well. I'd encourage every designer to look for ways to leverage WordPress beyond the basic blogging site.”

6.      Deciding the order beforehand- Preston Lee

“One of the biggest pieces of advice I give to web designers, and I think it applies here, is to really think about the order in which you design a site.

For example, I never design the home page first. I design a site in the most likely order that a user is going to experience it. If they're going to land on a blog post first, I design that page as if it were the home page. If a user is most likely to land on a sales page through an ad, I design it as if it were the single most important page they'll see–because it is.

It's a user-focused approach that has served me extremely well over the last few years.”

7.      Clear Goal and actions- Nate Williams

“Tips:

·         Know exactly what you are trying to accomplish with your web site;

·         Know what your audience wants from your web site (user centric design);

·         Establish a long term communication channels with them via newsletter, social network link;

·         Measure your efforts/web-design-tips though Google Analytics;

·         Keep it simple.”

8.      Trends need your Imagination- Mirko Humbert

“My advice would be to not follow trends blindly. Trends are not good or bad, they are trendy and often overused. Do your own thinking and judge for yourself, do you really need these flat icons, or some other will blend in better with the global design of your website?”

9.      Zach Adams

“I would say to learn how to code SASS the right way. After coding vanilla CSS for a while and changing to SASS you take for granted how easy it is to nest selectors like no tomorrow, however this leads to just plain bad CSS. I would recommend thesassway.com to learn how to correctly use this awesome language.”

10.  Be clear and communicate well- Adam Ladd

“Designing for the web and digital experiences is continually changing with new trends and technologies coming into play, but making sure you understand the basics of good communication in design is key. This is not an art project, you’re still trying to communicate to an audience/user to help them understand what to do and how to best interact with your site for a good user experience. Simplicity is really important, while striking the balance of leveraging brand, personality, animations, and other elements to enhance the enjoyment of that experience.”

These are the 10 tips that which every web designer must read and apply in their work.
