Every web designer knows that a website is nothing without a good user interface. That’s the border between human interaction and machines. A proper webdesign helps a user to operate or find the information a lot easier that it would’ve been a couple of years ago.
I noticed that many e-commerce websites are more keen on presenting their offers and as many products as possible and don’t keep in mind the visitor. Because of that, some online shops look heavily loaded with images and information and it’s hard to focus on one thing.
In my opinion, a successful online shop should be easy to navigate (intuitive), it must have a professional, clean, well spaced design (or a creative one, it depends on the shop and the products) and it must make you want to come back.
As a photographer, you are considered a creative professional so people have high expectations of you and your presentation website. Needless to say that your portfolio website must have a huge focus on your photographs, but it must also create a good general feeling. Some words that best describe a photography portfolio website are: clean, minimalist, airy, creative, intuitive, big images. Check out these photography portfolio websites I’ve gathered for you to inspire from.
I have to say that researching for this piece has left me drooling and feeling hungry. We all know that French are famous for their passion for food and sweets. I think that French chefs are among the most talented in the world and I just love the way they put their imagination into practice when it comes to presentation. While I was looking for the most famous restaurants in France, I found out that they don’t give too much importance to their website (they must be busy making fabulous food). Nevertheless, here are some great examples of French cuisine restaurant website designs. Enjoy!
You probably know that there are so many websites out there, it’s like there was a “Big Bang” on the Internet in the past few years and websites&blogs appeared even more faster than mushrooms after rain. Because of this, each day is a harder struggle to make it on the web. In order to be noticed, your website/blog must stand out from the crowd, it must be creative, intuitive, it must have the right color scheme and other important attributes to succeed. Here is a list of websites and blogs we liked and we thought that they should represent a good inspiration to everyone.
With all the heavy content websites out there, it’s nice to run into a single-page website. The thing I love most about one-page websites is that you can quickly get to where you want to, you have all the important content in a single page and they have a great impact on the viewer.
Single-page websites are just the thing you are looking for if you want to design an online portfolio or to market a product or an event – they are usually great for less content.
I bet you’ve noticed that the grunge website style is most commonly used by designers and freelancers in creating their online portfolios, making their websites look more creative and, besides that, it shows off their graphic skills. Nevertheless, you will see in the collection below that, besides the portfolio websites, there are grunge website designs which also have a clean look, so there are various ways to add grunge features to a website.
This post I think it has something to do with the fact that green is my favorite color. Nevertheless, you have to admit that green is a nice, fresh color. Green is usually associated with nature, ecology and it’s considered one of the additive primary colors.
In web design, most of these principle also apply. Green is thought to be one of the best colors for web designing because it’s refreshing and it makes you think of nature – and everybody loves nature (green grass, trees, plants and so on).
In the previous article I was telling you that a website with a minimal design is characterized by the use of text and space at the maximum and it implies as few graphical elements as possible. Trying to design a website using “less” is actually harder than using “more”. These days, almost all website visitors have a big screen resolution, allowing the web designers to design some minimalistic masterpieces.
A minimalistic website design focuses on the message and implies the usage of text and space at their maximum while trying to use as few graphical elements as possible. Contrary to some might think, designing a website with using “less” is harder than using “more”. Nowadays, the website visitors have bigger screen resolutions allowing the webdesigners to create some minimalistic masterpieces.
