Best Practices for Full-Screen Website Backgrounds

May 19, 2016 by Douglas Bonneville

You’ve probably noticed the trend for bigger, bolder visual elements on websites. There are several reasons for this trend, and one of the biggest is that visual elements catch the attention of the reader. A picture really is worth a thousand words, and it grabs the reader above the fold. That means you have them, at least for the moment, and can then keep them engaged with your amazing content. One way to incorporate large images is with full-screen website backgrounds. However, a full-screen background can be done really well, and it can also be done really wrong. The last thing you want is to make your website cluttered or the text difficult to read. To make sure you’re using a full-screen background in a way that will entice readers to hang around your site, try these best practices:

1. Prioritize

When it comes to using larger images in the background or anywhere on the page, you have to stop and consider what you want your priority to be on the page. Compelling images can be engaging and inspiring to your audience. However, those same images can also fall flat if placed incorrectly on the page. … [Read More]

Fundamental Navigation Patterns for UX

April 27, 2016 by Douglas Bonneville

Back in the day, we’re happy with drop-down menus and simple HTML markups for web design navigation patterns. Now that user experience is an invaluable criterion in designing a web site, web designers are on their feet, thinking of ways on how to integrate better functionality that promises a good effect on the visitor’s user experience. Aiming for user experience does not solely rely on one page. In creating a website, we should keep in mind that the main goal is to get the visitors navigate through your website and spend more time on your website. Why? When people leave your website, it increases your bounce rate. As it increases, it is found out that it affects your conversion rates negatively. One of the reasons why people leave your website is that they can’t simply find what they are looking for. If you notice that the main page of your website has a high bounce rate, you need to look into it as soon as possible. You can blame poor navigation practices implemented on your website as the number one culprit. In this post, we’re going to share some tips and inspiration for web designers in designing fundamental navigation patterns they can apply in their web design concept. … [Read More]

How to Make Your Popups Irresistible (And Not Annoying)

April 26, 2016 by Douglas Bonneville

From the dawn of civilization, there have been commercials. If you look close enough at the Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, you’ll likely find an ad for a chariot dealership mixed in with the picture stories. (Seriously, though: papyrus wall posters in Ancient Egypt were some of the earliest advertisements.) Flash ahead to our modern age and you’ll find there could never have been television without commercials. Now that the world has truly become Internet-centric, businesses want to utilize your time by offering some form of advertisement. At first, it was a banner ad dropped onto a website. The clever marketing device soon evolved into the popup. Today, tech savvy websites generate popups in hopes of capturing an email address or providing a direct click-through to sales. As a web designer, your goal is to create popup tools that will make the client happy and not annoy the user. Too tall an order? Perhaps it’s not as challenging as you might imagine. Before getting to the gorgeous graphics that you’ll create to go with it, you might want to consider some functionality. … [Read More]
