    1. Thanks Shabnam i believe as bloggers and website owners we should all learn to design or at least learn something about web design in that way you will be able to now what a good design looks like.

    1. A well design website would attract readers but to keep them interested in your site you need to offer them quality content this could be in the form of artcile or a good products as the saying goes content is king.

  1. When someone sets up a new site they have a lot of decisions to make. They need to decide, like you’ve said, what kind of site they are going to have and if they are going to do it themselves, or hire someone else to design it and support it for them.

    Colors and fonts are both very important part of web design and will make a big difference in how long people stay on your sit.

    1. Hi Alison you are right sometimes it is better to hire a designer especially if you are setting a new site in that way the designer is the one with the headache to get it right so that it suits the website owner.

  2. I usually take time in developing a site. I am more conservative in that I try to keep the design simple. I never like sites that were busy and contain a lot of widgets/images as I find them hard to navigate.

    The key when designing a site is to know your visitors.

    1. Hi Paul welcome to my blog glad you take the time to add your voice to the debate here. I must say that i agree with you here one of the major thing when designing a website or blog is to know your visitors or you targeted audience

  6. Web design and layout factor is very important for success of any blog or website. Thats why majority of professional blogger decide to use WordPress platform because of wide range of elegant looking themes which can be easily monetized for adsense. But still without quality content even good looking website will fail.

    1. You said it right Right John “Content is King” having a good design with great layout is not it we need great content to keep our readers interesting. We all know WordPress is second to none and it is a wonderful platform to work with. Thanks for you comment and welcome aboard.

  7. designing is the thing we all should mind.It gives the first impression to the users.The beautiful design can reduce your bounce rates

  8. Web design is very important for our websites. Thank you for further explaining it to us.

  9. I used to be fluent in html years ago, but then CSS got big and I lost my edge. =) These days, I just might hire a designer to fashion what I need, because I think it might be a little beyond me at this point. But color and design is just as important as content, because your color scheme can become your brand colors if you think about it. Look at Shell yellow, Ferrari red, FedEx orange and purple. A smart use of color can be your calling card!
