:: Articles::New Website Design
If the discussion of websites were put into subjective categories then new website design trends and styles are probably one of the favourites amongst those of us in the field. Like all things in life trends come and go, but herein lies the problem. If you had to put two people next to each other and ask them what they thought of, say for instance, Picasso’s work, chances are they will have an overwhelmingly difference in opinion. What the one man likes the next might find unattractive, making the decision of who will be designing your site pivotal. For designers one of the biggest obstacles when designing a site is to do it in such way that it is pleasing to the eyes of all your visitors. Your site needs to grab their attention from the get-go whilst being the visual “voice” of your company.
In order to achieve this you will require the creativity of a professional graphic designer. At eTraffic we insist on precision, professionalism, knowledge, skill, technique, but most of all creativity which is why all our designers have some form of graphical designer and/or artistic background. This enables us to custom design your internet website to meet all aspects of your needs and wants.
Also, if you are thinking that maybe it’s time for your website to be redesigned chances are you’re right. Giving your site a regular “facelift” is necessary to ensure that your site never looks old and outdated. The two main reasons for this is because finds favour with sites that have undergone a facelift and the second is because if your website looks out of date with the times, chances are that your potential client will give you little if any notice to see what you really have to offer them. With a new website design we will be able to custom design a website that is unique to your company’s branding, repositioning your company that might just give it that edge you’ve been looking for.
Some of the hottest new internet website design trends currently doing the rounds includes Web Desktop-, Silver Orange-, Apple- and Microsoft Style. For an example of a Web Desktop design you can merely look at www.yahoo.com. The Yahoo design layout makes use of blocks, mini blocks, buttons and tabs to create a simplistic look. Simplicity is always a winner when it comes to designing styles as it is easy on the eye as well as easy to use for the visit. But be warned that this kind of design can be very expensive as it requires a lot of work to produce.
The perfect example of a Silver Orange website design is www.digg.com. The main focus of sites such as these are usability where it is easy to use, simple and rather lightweight in design. The main elements of this kind of internet website design style are the top menu, logo, guideline, gradient and text dividers. Some might say that these kind of sites can be rather dull looking or unimpressive but with the help of an experience designer this needn’t be the case. It all depends on what you want.
The last two examples of website designs are Apple and Microsoft. The aforementioned is known to be very distinct in its design style. It requires a lot of work and can be quite possibly one of the most expensive of the designing styles in comparison to Microsoft’s much more affordable plain Jane style. An example of an Apple style is as you could’ve guessed www.apple.com, as is Microsoft’s www.microsoft.com.
