7 Web Development Revelations: Things Your Web Developer Is Probably Getting Wrong

If technical know-how and a web developer’s diploma were all it took to be a good web developer, everyone would be one. The truth is, if you’re planning to use the internet to find and grow your business or product, you need websites, web application(s) and mobile application(s) that appeal the masses from the get go and for that you need the support of prolific developers.

Now, one major attribute that separates the said prolific web developers from the rest is that they know certain tips and tricks of the trade the rest don’t. In this post, we discuss 7 web development tricks your designer may not know. Here it goes.


Sync Website Design with Brand Identity

A great portion of the visitors you get on your website have at least an idea as to what your brand entails , but if your website does not reflect the same, you could wind up with a bunch of disappointed visitors. On the other hand, if you over-promise and under deliver, it would lead to similar fate. It’s essential to keep both the design and content of your website true to what you actually offer.

Lay the website’s objectives out clearly

Your website has to connect with your audience instantly; the brand message conveyed to them should be loud and clear. In order to convert visitors into leads, you need to let a visitor know if the website is offering them product information, general information, company information, e-commerce services or something else.

Conversion-Focused Websites

A conversion friendly website is designed in the kind of free-flowing manner that encourages the visitor to go through the entire website. You want to deploy designed logos, interlinked content, social media tabs to share content, call to actions, friendly RSS feed or ‘follow me’ buttons on your website in the way that works best for your business..

High High High Design and Graphic Standards

We mentioned the importance of well designed logos in the previous section. Logos, in a way, are the first design element a visitor notices on your website and can create a strong first impression. . You also want a dynamic, user-friendly, easy to navigate website, wherein a visitor could easily find the information they are looking for or that you want them to see. The quality of the design of your website will reflect strongly on the quality of your business. As far as graphics are concerned, they should be impressive and unique  but not so detailed that the pages take forever to load.

Spacious WebPages = Appealing WebPages

A classic mistake developers make is cramming up web pages. This is a major reason why visitors don’t bother to stick around to check out the rest of your website. The best modern templates focus on spacing out information, graphics, videos and pictures on a webpage in a way that displays  a decent amount of data on a page without crowding it and turning it into an eyesore.

Style Guides

The use of style guides is not limited to print publication houses. They help web developers create uniform designs across all web pages of a website, brainstorm ideas before executing them and simply create a better thought-out end product.

Forget Sidebars

Web Developers started installing sidebars for the sake of making important links more accessible to the users but in reality, side bars didn’t do much apart from making web pages look all jammed up. While there’s still a place for sidebars in the online world, it is very limited.
