What is Required for Website Design?

Usability and the utility in website design, not the visual design, determine the success or failure of a website. Since the visitor of the page is the only person who clicks the mouse and therefore decides everything, user-centric design has become a standard approach for successful and profit-oriented web design. After all, if users can’t use a feature, it might as well not exist.

For a start-up business, the first important element is to get a domain name and then a hosting provider to help you host your website. Or in simple terms a provider from where all your pages of website will get live on the internet. And then you need a website designer to design the pages. Some website design companies provide hosting too along with design and development and that would be better as they will maintain all th technical aspects of your website too.

For a website design, some basic things to consider are:

Color

It is important to have a consistent color scheme when users or visitors ‘visit’ your page and navigate between the pages.It should be aligned as per logo colours. The pages should be clearly labeled and look like they are part of the same site.

Font Usage

There is a seemingly endless number of fonts available. Make sure that you use mainstream fonts or have alternative fonts setup in the code. It is generally a good practice to use a different font type for headings as what is used for body copy. For example, there are serif and sans-serif font types – depending on the style of the lettering.
