My Website... My Design

The dilemma that surrounds every designer on the face of earth is to go by their gut or follow instructions. Creativity, they say... cannot be forceful or caged but the thread of every profession is somewhere down the line connected to monetary aspects and approvals. 

As a designer is it essential to the find the right balance between what is required and what can be value added to the design. Website Designing is a domain where there are infinite possibilities for creativity and innovation. The domain is growing at fast pace and welcoming new aspects with positivity and encouragement. 

For a designer, the goal is to create a website layout that meets the purpose of the business and sets the benchmark higher for contemporaries and this can be achieved by immersing into the depth of the project. Designing is not confined to the color of buttons and curvy edges of banners... it has more to it:  

•  Understanding the audience and what they will come looking for 
•  Understanding the company/ institution and devising the best possible way to navigate across their offerings
•  Identifying the strengths of the company/ institution and how those can be highlighted
• Identifying functionalists that can reduce the no. of clicks required to reach to desired pages

When you start designing the homepage of a Corporate Website, the focus must be on how the company can be presented well and company information can be showcased but in case of a Flash Website, the approach is entirely different. The focus will then be at making the website visually appealing to hold the attention of the visitor, interesting transitions, limited text etc. So the design parameters change depending on the type of website being worked upon. What does not change is the creative zeal of a true web designer. 

So the next time you are in a fix! Follow your instincts and create what you would approve!

Choosing an Effective Website Development Topic

Are you wondering how, websites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn became so popular that their owners are today amongst the highest earners. It was just an idea that brought them so far in the digital medium.

The thought of coming up with a cool idea and selling it for millions to Google, might seem quite simple. However, website development in India or abroad is not a trivial business to sustain. The idea of Facebook that Mark Zuckerberg initiated was something unique that instantly made him amongst the richest. But this is not exactly what happens with all the ideas but only with a handful of people.     

So, here is where the importance of topic selection for website development lies. It is a very big and an essential decision to start with a web concept. Going for the big idea might be quite tempting. After all, everybody wants to become the inventor of ideas that generated Facebook, Twitter or YouTube.

    

Here, I would like to suggest creating something realistic for the average person where you can also earn money. Making attempts to create something like Facebook is a huge task and along with that you also require server space and technical proficiency to monitor its growth. So, in this case, it is best to start with a simple approach. With simple approach, I mean creating sites/pages that interest common people. If you love to create jewelry, then create a page with all the insights of jewelry designs. It is also beneficial to include your suggestions or best practices etc supported with pictures. You can also demonstrate your designing techniques on You Tube and link them with your website. Adding on, you can build a Facebook page and keep updating your audience to popularize your website.          

In addition to idea generation, doing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for your website is also a vital part. It keeps your website listed on search engines like Google, Yahoo and more. Preparing a simple yet requisite website like this can be highly productive. You could also easily indulge in its webdesign and development services yourself. The need for hiring an expensive web development company can be omitted. So, choose a topic that has good demand and minimal competition to start with.
