- 1. Web Design Tips For Beginners Web design is a rapidly evolving business. SO to that end I would like to share with you my top design tips of 2012. Tip 1: ‘Responsive’ web design Responsive web design is when the page layout of your website is re-formatted to match the type of device that the visitors to your site are browsing with. Mobile phones and tablets are an obvious example of this. The one thing to remember with responsive with design it that your site should re-purposes itself depending on the device used to view it. It should not just be a shrunken down version of the original website; one which you have to keep zooming in and out in order to see the detail; it effectively re-purposes itself on the fly to fit any device seamlessly. Tip 2: Customised font choice From a strictly web design perspective I would say that historically we have previously been limited with the choice of font’s we were able to offer our clients. Things have actually changed for the better. Nowadays, just like in print, a lot of web design agencies can use customised fonts. The massive advantage of this is that there’s no end to the possibilities and can make any site stand out as 100% unique. Essentially now we can bring out the design aesthetics in line with your brand. There are no limits really. Essentially you can set style parameters so for example you could have a good bold font that you haven’t seen before but it is fully editable, so he wants to change a headline or change a subheading this is all possible now using unique fully customisable fonts. Tip 3: Big Bold Imagery My opinion is that the high-quality backgrounds and high-quality image pictures are really starting to make comeback. It’s a really good way to get people into your website and to showcase your brand very quickly. These days I tend to find that people want to look more photos and they don’t tend to want to read as much. So by using big bold imagery it’s much easier to showcase your products and tell stories in pictures rather than words. People seem to really be getting into images and doesn’t really matter so much now with the quicker broadband speeds which are available. It’s a technique I’ve been using for some time now and high-quality images just do it for me, they just seem to present our product so well, and besides it looks much better than a huge block of text. So there you have it those are my top three web design tips for 2012. This post was first found at handsomewebdesign.com
