In the process of digitalization of a company, especially under the COVID-19 pandemic, websites have become a major channel for the outreach of businesses. A design that fits the image of a brand and a satisfying experience to users is fundamental for the online image of a brand.

According to the features and functions required, website design is categorized into three aspects, namely function-based website (e-commerce website and software operation), brand image-based website (for online brand awareness) and information-based website (such as Wikipedia and Quora). The design of a website should change based on the purpose of the website.

5 Steps to Consider Before Designing a Website

Due to the overflow of information, users prefer websites that are more direct and are focused on user experience. Here are 5 steps to consider before creating a website design:

Key Considerations in Website Design

Theme of the website

As the Internet is filled with information, it is crucial to deliver the key idea of a webpage at first sight. An optimized structure to deliver the idea and relevant information is also required. Some methods to highlight the theme of a website in website design include color combination, image, animations, and videos. Keep in mind the content should also be relevant to the theme as well.

Design strategy

There are six major aspects of website design: clean & simple, simplified operation, unified theme, outstanding image, coherent color combination, and great user interaction. Following these six aspects, it can help a website to bring a great user experience and uphold the brand image.

Design layout

The layout of website content is key for the communication of information – the goal of a website. Therefore, the design of a website can help to reach the goal of a website. An optimized layout also helps users to get the required information quicker and improve their user experience.

Color combination

While color is often used for highlights, it should also be coherent to other colors used on the website to help build a corporate image. Also, it is important to consider color contrast when using color for users with disabilities in perceiving colors.

Use of multimedia

Other than color and text, websites often require images, illustrations, and videos to help portray their information. When choosing the media to use, make sure the media suits the design and theme of the website. Also, the file size should be minimized to prevent bad user experience due to extended loading time.

Information hierarchy

Optimized information hierarchy helps users to find relevant information quicker. It also avoids a drop in conversion rate due to longer browsing time. Through heading tag (such as h1, h2, and h3) to segment website content, it helps to speed up information search. Also, links to internal pages or external websites are helpful to encourage users to read more relevant information. The image alt tag is also great for users to understand the website when the image cannot be loaded.

Loading speed

The loading speed of your website is highly relevant to user experience and search ranking of your website. Because of the heightened expectation of the Internet, users are expecting much shorter loading time. The maximum loading time acceptable to users is currently 3 seconds.

File format

When exporting your website design, choosing the right file format can help to reduce file size and site loading time. Suitable file formats include jpeg, png, svg, webp, and javascript animations.

Communication with users

The ultimate goal of a website is to display information and encourage users to communicate with the brand. Therefore, websites should be optimized in user conversion. This includes if e-commerce websites can showcase their online shopping ability, display websites can encourage user inquiries and informative websites can encourage users to read more information.

Continuous testing

As other websites are constantly optimizing, the expectation of users will increase accordingly. Therefore, website design has to be constantly improved to maintain conversion rates.

Content update

Similar to user experience, the content of a website has to be updated regularly to provide useful and useful information.

What is a content management system?

Definition of a content management system

As corporate websites need constant updates on website content, product, and service information, a content management system (CMS) is helpful for staff with less website experience to update content on a website.

Almost every website requires a content management system to manage content on a website and carry out necessary updates. The benefits of a content management system are that an employee with minimal website training can also update content on a website.

Employees can edit text content, image, and template of a website on a content management system. And the system will formulate the edits into website coding. This helps to enhance the efficiency of website maintenance.

However, content management systems have their limitations as well. It is difficult to use a CMS for changing website structure. Content management systems can not automatically translate website structure changes into coding. Therefore, if any changes are required for the website structure, professional website developers are required.

What are the common content management systems?

Some of the commonly used content management systems include WordPress, Magneto, and Shopify.

However, the powerful system of Magento has higher requirements for the server and its processing power. Websites managed by Magento often require professional website developers to maintain.

Shopify

Shopify is great for small-to-medium businesses to operate their e-commerce website. However, Shopify requires a monthly subscription fee and additional commission for each order. Moreover, the website is not 100% owned by the business and customizability is limited.
