What is Web Design?

Web Design is the planning and creation of a website. Creating information architecture, user interface, site structure, site navigation, colors, characters, and images. The ultimate goal is the user experience (UX - user experience).

The basics of good web design:

-Fast website - great loading speed

-The first page must be well-organized

-No annoying widgets (eg popups, flyers, ads)

-The message should be painfully clear on the main pages (For more information you have to use the Blog category)

-Coordinated design - comfortable for users one

-Easy navigation - a well-organized menu. Most people start reading from the top left and continue reading from the bottom right

-The site must be complete (if you have a site under construction, you better tell visitors that they will find more content in the future, using the phrases "Weekly updated content" or "New products added monthly").

UX - user experience - the interaction between a real user and products or services such as websites, applications, and physical products. To get the attention of the users and keep them on the site, a well-optimized design is required

The basic principle of UX is to create simple web interfaces that are easy to understand and must be intuitive for the user.

What does a UX-compliant website look like?

-The site is easy to use and intuitive

-Information is easy to find

-Buttons and links are functional and intuitive (when you click Add to Cart, the product is added to the shopping cart, and nothing else happens)

-In an online store, the ordering process works without errors or interruptions

-It must contain a search bar

-Easy navigation through Breadcrumbs is required.

Design web and UX (User Experience):

-Sketch - drawn on paper

-Wireframe - represents the digital transposition of the sketch. It contains the approximate number of pages, the method by which the pages are linked (menu), and navigation elements.
