Love Your Web Design: Tips and Tricks to Make Viewers Swoon


Even though you show love to your web viewers all year long, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to do a little something extra.  If your website isn’t quite receiving the kind of attention you had hoped for, know that your content is most likely not the problem.  There are many elements that go into creating a popular website, and there are plenty of things you can do to catch the eye of a few viewers.  So forget the boxed chocolates and candies.  This Valentine’s Day, be sweet to yourself and your viewers with a few tweaks to your site that are sure to attract all your different types of onlookers.

The Perfectionist

The perfectionist likes to have a set schedule.  They like to know where to go and how to get there.  Make them happy by cleaning up your website navigation.  Manage your menu options and redirect pages, so your perfectionist knows where they are going.  Get rid of unnecessary pages that serve no purpose to your site.  Keep your menu items and page redirections relevant to your content to ensure that your site remains organized and easy to navigate.

The Style Lover

The more put together you look, the more your style lover will love you.  Make sure your web’s design has a consistent layout.  That means colors and fonts blend well throughout the site on all pages.  Research shows that too many colors and bold fonts are distracting to web viewers as opposed to attractive.  Your style lover will appreciate your simple color scheme that compliments your killer content.  They’ll also appreciate your attention to smaller website details.  Get rid of any awkwardly placed graphics or text, and create clean lines by utilizing your margins and white space.  This will guarantee that your site looks balanced and consistent.

The One that’s Always on the Go

The one that’s always on the go is the easiest to please aesthetically, but might be a little trickier to please otherwise.  A speedy transmission is the easiest way to win over this web user, and there are a few things you can do to help that. Cutting down your page data to browser loading time can be as simple as changing the sizes of your pictures.  Smaller images and optimized images take less time to load.  If you’re still experiencing a longer-than-normal wait time for your page, consider looking into the quality of your code.  Poorly written or overflowing CCS or JavaScript are often the culprit of a lagging web page, and fixing these issues require a little more technical knowledge.

Show the web world you care this Valentine’s Day by making these simple changes to your website that are sure to have an impact on your viewers.  By creating a positive user experience for all of your viewers, your chances of increased site time and click rates improve.  Soon, you’ll have all types of web users lining up at your URL.
