In the eyes of web design, aesthetics is seen to be vital when it comes to communicating their message, a mood or a feeling that lays beyond the design created within the content. They should be fluid and adaptable to as many devices that the product is accessible at. Also, the first impressions are seen as fundamental as good designs can get positive feelings about a product or service and therefore design itself has an impact on one’s experience. There are also the elements of design which are the basic components when it comes to designing something and there are also the principles which are rules that should be considered when designing. The main difference between principles and elements, is that principles are like the rules you should follow, while elements are the things that will help you follow those rules for the best outcome.
Designing for the web requires that the designer not only consider the meaning and relative importance of the site content, but also to consider the user’s experience, habits and needs. The most important content needs to be easily accessible for visitors who may be rapidly scanning your site, things like a header, subhead, paragraphs and images should be set out to catch the visitor’s eyes when visiting the website designed. By following this pattern, it is easier to arrange the content around by giving the website a clear idea of what the business is and what they have in offer thus meeting the visitor’s expectations, needs and wants.
