A good website grabs your attention and evokes emotions making you want to stay. It’s intuitive, easy to use and gives you a clear reason why you want to browse it.

FOUR BASIC DESIGN TIPS FOR YOUR WEBSITE
Purpose
Each page of your website should have a clear purpose. It will most probably sell your products and services, generate leads or build your brand. Ask yourself what is your customer going to look for on your website. Will it be information, purchase, entertainment?
Relevant Content
None of your website visitors will have time to read essays about your products or services so remember about the main rule of content writing: clear communication.
Visuals
Your website needs to be eye-catchy so visitors want to explore it. If it’s unattractive and old-fashioned, it might mean that you don’t care about improving your product or services. Even if you’re not a web designer, you should have an impact on how your website is going to look.
Easy Navigation
Think about creating a logical page hierarchy with clickable buttons and categories. Also, remember about the “three click rule” of clear navigation. This rule means that users should be able to find the information they are looking for within three clicks.
