It’s funny how everyone tells you to come up with an effective website design, but no one has the answer when you ask ‘how’. Ever wondered why? Frankly, there’s only one way of making a design effective – you make it user centric and that’s just about it. See, it’s simple; if the users (or the visitors, if you put it that way) don’t like your design, it’s not good. No two ways about it. Having said that, given below are 5 different things that can help you create a design that, well, may help you strike a chord with the users:

3. Bestowment
 Bestow the control on them who visits your site more
than once.
 For making them feel that they are at the helm of
affairs, avoid pop ups.
 Leave alone the visitors, even you want to be able to
go back to the page you just visited with a single click
or two may be.

4. Relevance
 It’s true that the site may be an attempt to make
money, but a site with too many ads is a big turn-off,
maybe not for you (since you’d be busy counting the
monies!), but for the visitors.
 It should come as no surprise that they visit your site
for content.
 Ads are something they tolerate.
 Don’t test their patience, unless you don’t mind losing
them to a competing site.

5. Simplicity
 Keep things simple for all age group of person.
 It may sound clichéd, but the moment you make the
visitors think, they are likely to make an early exit.
 Everything has to be self-explanatory.

7. Right Content At The Right Place
 You hire yourself a writer, who let’s say, provides you
with some really catchy content for your site.
 If the visitors need to scroll down, chances are that
many of them won’t. Sad but true.
 If your content is above the fold, well, you have
already increased the effectiveness of your design.

8. Limited Number Of Pages
 The more the better – that’s something we swear by,
but truth be told, excess of everything is bad.
 Designing 10 different pages, that’s totally
understandable, but think from the users’
perspective.
 Make your design more effective.

9. Right Colour Scheme
 Use fewer colours unless of
course the content or the
nature of the business for
that matter calls for more.
 Play with words, if you may,
but don’t play with colours,
period.
 you need to make your site
more colourful, try using
different shades of the
same colour.

10. TETO
 Here’s your answer: what looks like an effective
design to you may have its share of problems and
issues.
 Just don’t do it too late, when you can’t do much and
may not be able to make changes, if the need be.
 Do it whenever you can, even it means testing the
design right in the very beginning.

13.  It’s also worth mentioning that testing is in fact, an
iterative process.
 You test your design, find some errors and fix them.
How can you be sure that the design is now errorfree? You need to test again.
 There may be problems that you might have missed
during the first round of testing.
 Finding them is equally important.
