Common Web Design and Development Misconceptions

Creative and Interactive web developmentWebsite design and development is a most upcoming and sought after web service all over the world. Websites that have a professional look and presentation stands better chances of online success.

A website which explores web portal development that appeals to the visual senses of customers surely is a strong marketing tool in itself. But sometimes myths surround our thinking and as a result we become bias about the designing aspect.

It is a common myth and belief that a website that is designed well essentially contains good graphic designs. In other words use of color, sound, animation and graphics are mandatory for a good website.

Many of the Creative and Interactive web development sites install a big decorative graphic design on their web page, without any specific relevance to their website nor provide any relevant information to the users. Such designs take too much time to load creating boredom and giving the visitors chance to skip your website. This does not imply that you should not have decorative graphics but keep it short and simple. Discuss with your web designer what are the options and their online effect.

Only content will be very boring and would lead to fading of visitors’ attention very soon. However it does not imply that a site should be loaded excessively with pictures. Application of sound, Java, animation, graphics, etc can be combined with web content. Expertise lies when you combine both content and graphics in such a way that they complement each other without creating any loading problems.

How much percentage of space should be allotted to content and graphics on a web page depends on the nature of the business your website is dealing in. For instance a website dealing with any academic details would have more text content, whereas if it is about a music school, comics, shopping portal, etc the amount of images would be more than content.
