If you are old enough, you remember when the Internet became popular for the first time, as a widely-used thing in the general public. The truth of the matter is, the Internet has been publicly-accessible since the 1980s in some form, but we all remember the mid-90s when it really took off.
“Freelance web designer” was one of those “artsy” modern professions that everybody seems to claim for several years, but you don’t really hear that much about it now. Sure, you hear about web design, you see a lot of annoying advertisements on YouTube for DIY web design and hosting, but you just don’t hear as much about the nitty-gritty of website design as you once did.
As a start up or fairly small business, do you need website design in Wall? What should you look for when it comes to website design in Toms River? Does it matter like it used to, do you even need a dedicated website? Well, you don’t necessarily need a dedicated website, but it does definitely make you see more professional and more “all aboard” with your business.
Are there modern conventions?
Something else that anyone who’s been around for a little while can spot is what we affectionately call a “Web 1.0” website, a very old, dated-looking website that, by modern standards, is quite ugly. Obviously, like any other aesthetic thing, trends come and go, and this can be further complicated by a drive for individuality in company spaces.
If you want to just have a fairly standard, attractive and professional look, these days, it is highly recommended that you aim for a darker, cooler-colored website without a lot of gradients, gradual shades or “artsy” details, looking more like a crisp resume with grays and blacks rather than I-searingly bright colors. This is the norm, with “dark mode” being widely-demanded in user interface design, document design and yes, website design.
Is it all about aesthetics?
No! Aesthetics are actually secondary, provided you comply with those basic modern mentalities described in the previous section. You don’t really have to kill yourself looking unique, just look easy to read, professional and toned down. The biggest aspect of website design in Wall and website design in Toms River is compatibility. It must be W3C compliant, and it must be able to shift and work with mobile as well as desktop needs. Flexibility like this is actually fairly simple to implement, provided you have skilled designers that have this in mind from the very start.
You should actually be very concerned if their primary of session is all about an artistic vision, or conveying brand identity through the appearance of the site, a fad that passed in the previous decade, with readability and ease of access from multiple devices being the primary concern now.
One last little bit of advice, though, is to not fixate on space for integrated ads. Nine out of 10 of your viewers will be blocking those ads, banner ads and the like are a waste of time.
