One of the key pieces of web design advice we give to our Birmingham clients is to always keep a website user friendly! With website design Birmingham businesses can get a bit carried away wanting websites that are all singing and dancing with lots of fancy effects. Unfortunately these types of websites, however visually attractive, can have the opposite effect put customers off.

Web users in general prefer simple easy to navigate websites. With web design Birmingham businesses really need to put the customer’s needs first before their web design aspirations. At the end of the day a business website is there to work for and increase your sales. With web design Birmingham businesses need to remember that the customers needs really do come first!

Great advice, but how on earth do you create a customer focussed Birmingham web site design? Well here are some simple tips and advice to get you on the right track and make your website design user-friendly for your Birmingham and UK customers.

First of all choose an engaging colour scheme for your Birmingham web design that reflects your corporate identity.  Colour is key and can make or break the impact of a website. Also visually important is the layout on each of your web pages of your Birmingham web site design. Web pages should be designed so that they are easy to read and easy on the eye.

Whilst we’re on the subject of layout, think about dividing your Birmingham web design page content into easily digestible paragraphs. Good use of headings and bold or italic font can catch the eye and help in guiding the web user to important information. Similarly good use of images on web pages will enhance and reinforce the message you have in text content. Also remember that text content should be relevant, informative and succinct!

When considering using animation in web design Birmingham businesses should really remember the word ‘subtle’. So many websites nowadays have overbearing flash animation on their web pages that can distract and put-off web browsers. Good advice when creating your Birmingham website design is to not overcrowd web pages with too many images or graphics.
