Q: What is Web Design?
A:
Think of web design like planning a building’s architecture and interior design, but for the online world. Essentially, web design is the process of planning and creating the overall look and feel of a website, as well as how it works for the user.
It’s much more than just making a website look pretty, although visuals are certainly important! Good web design focuses on creating a website that is:
- Looks Good: Using colours, fonts, images, and layout to create a design that reflects the brand and engages visitors.
- Easy to Use (User-Friendly): Organising information logically and creating clear navigation so visitors can easily find what they’re looking for without getting frustrated. This is often called User Experience or UX design.
- Functional: Ensuring all the parts of the website work properly, from contact forms to other features.
- Accessible: Making sure the website works well on different devices (like desktops, tablets, and mobile phones) and can be used by people with disabilities.
Web design brings together good design with technical considerations to build a website that not only looks professional but also communicates information, achieves business goals (like generating leads or sales for an Adelaide business), and provides a good experience for everyone who visits.
