customers’ journey and behaviour. This leads to the pathway of determining particular user experience. There are some basic steps in which one can
titivate the user experience of a website.
Colour combinations:
The colour
scheme of the website adds an all-around new experience to
the layout. Studying the colour scheme and theories can help in choosing the
appropriate colours and engage the mood of the users. It helps
the website in looking attractive and eye-catching. You can choose colours
that complement each other, even analogous colours and triadic colours
can be used.
Colours have a
vital significance in certain genders, cultures and religions. They trigger the
content and make it stand out based on the relevance. Thus, colours play
a key role in triggering the right emotions of the users.
Topography:
The
topography of the webpage is significant including the font style,
size, type and spacing. Be very thorough with the font size as too small or
either too large text can distract the users. The font size should be
appropriate so that it is convenient to read.
In
addition, appropriate research work should be done while choosing the font
style. It should be kept simple yet enticing. Apart from the size, the
spacing also plays a vital role in determining the user experience. In
order to mould all the content on the website, use whitespace and
breathing space in between so that the content doesn’t look crowded.
Images:
Undoubtedly,
images have a key role in maintaining the viewership and visibility of
the website. Its user experience depends drastically on the kind
and quality of the images that are being displayed on a webpage.
Avoid using stock or generic images. The stock images not
necessarily leave a positive impact on the users. No matter what, they
cannot convey the key goals and objectives of the brand/business.
Instead,
use original images of the products and services to build the trust
factor in the customers. Moreover, by using original images one can
create a unique and satisfying browsing experience for the users. In addition,
avoid using copyright images as well as the ones that carry watermarks of the
other brands. The images should be relevant to the content displayed on the
website. It should convey a clear message and idea that stand out amongst all.
Page speed:
A website
taking a long time to load can be annoying for the users. Troubleshooting
the loading time regularly helps in fixing the problem. In order to enhance the
loading speed of a webpage, you can work on optimizing the graphics
and images to make sure that the loading doesn’t take longer than usually
expected.
Navigation:
Besides
an attractive layout, the website should have an agile navigation panel that
directs the user and helps them in using the website with much more ease. The
navigation menu ought to be labelled clearly with bold and strong headlines.
You can allow the users to know more about your business by connecting its social
media handles on the homepage.
Besides
navigation buttons, the headings and titles should be driven by what the
visitors are more interested in. Most search engines give priority to
the headlines and titles first then the other content that is enclosed
in it. Using bullet points can fulfil the purpose more effectively.
