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.
Web design is a powerful branch of the graphic design business, which provides the two with a lot of common ground to stand on. Web designers also stack up on premium design resources for their projects and have to deal…
Interesting fact: WordPress is one of the most used blogging tool and content management systems in the world. Backing up this statement, Alexa Internet offers us an essential piece of information based on their Top 1 Million Websites classification –…
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!
When it comes to web design, there are a lot of elements that create that great overall look of the website. One of those elements, a very important one, is the drop-down menu. This particular element plays a big role…
The navigation menu is the first thing that visitors look for when they are on a website, that’s why it’s important to make it extremely visible. Some might even say that the navigation is the most important element in web design and by good means – it’s the only thing that enables visitors to orient through your website. So it should be simple, intuitive, not necessarily boring.
We all like to show off, don’t try to deny it! We love to expose our work so that everyone can see it and admire it. In creative fields such as graphic design, photography and so many others, our images are like our business cards. That’s why we need to present our work in a way that doesn’t diminish the true beauty of our images. Today I want to share with you some great examples of showcasing your work though images on your website. Sliders are a fantastic web element to use to add some extra value to your images. Check out the ones I picked for you below:
Footers can be a multi-functional section of your website. On the lowest part of your website, you can write some afterthoughts, you can add your copyright information, some additional links – to your other websites, to your social networks, you can even add twitter updates, some insightful info about you, contact details or whatever you can think of.
As in the rest of your website, you can also be creative with your footer – there’s nothing better than to end the scrolling down with a nice graphical element. So make it visually appealing, but also effective – a great footer can give a small boost to your awareness and it can also drive some internal traffic.
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.
