Making Good Web Layouts
The art of making web layouts is almost as difficult as the art
of interior design. Like the latter, designing a layout implies choosing the right
color combination, figuring out how to fit all the necessary elements inside a finite-width space in the most user-friendly
manner, and making the visitor read through all your content, and hopefully, even come back for more.
There are different schools of thought to what good design and good layout means. Others uphold the "less is more" motto, creating websites
with wide white space, and minimalistic designs. Some sites, on the other hand, have successfully captured attention
using vivid colors and a flurry of graphic elements here and there. The important thing to figure out is what kind of
market you are targetting, what theme or image you'd like your site to portray in line with this target market, and
creating a web design and layout around that idea.
For large marketing endeavors, the marketing staff must coordinate closely with the IT / web design staff so that
the marketing staff can set realistic goals on work schedules, and so that the IT/web design staff can fully
grasp what the marketing staff wants to achieve.
