Visual Website Design
The website’s visual design is what creates the User Journey. This journey has to be impressive and convincing enough to make them avail of your products and services. Once the demo site is created you need to map out the journey and test it personally. Have some associates test run the website and make changes based on their feedback.
Well-Defined Visual hierarchy:
Squint while looking at your website, till the screen blurs. Some areas of the page pop out either in color or by size grabbing your attention. Make optimum use of these spaces by placing CTA buttons, USP’s, or attractive offers on them. Use contrast in text size and color to define different areas of the page.
Attractive Color schemes:
Use attractive color schemes that appeal to the target audience (Use this to hyperlink to the Color scheme blog) and are appropriate to the business. Choose colors that complement each other without straining the eyes. The color of the text must also be visually comfortable to read at all times. This is why most Web Design and Development services prefer white backgrounds with black text.
Choose Sans Serif fonts:
Sans Serif fonts like Arial, Helvetica, Calibri, etc are much easier to read. Of course, you can use the ornamental Serif Fonts to embellish to Headings, Focus areas, etc., but the main body of the text must be in Sans Serif.
Eye-Catching Images
High-resolution images with crisp frames that convey exactly what you want, make a site look professional. Choose wisely to extract maximum conversion from minimalist aesthetics.
Effectively used White Space

Simple Infographics
