Easy HTML Editor: Common Design Principles and Elements
 by: Jason Smith


Many website designers do not understand the importance of website design principles and elements. If you have been through educational training for website design you will know the importance of common design principles and elements, but most of us who create websites do not. You will be much better off if you do understand the importance of these things for your website design.

Keeping Your Website Balanced -

You can maintain the balance in your website by using colors that complement each other, such as a dark color for only a few things and a much lighter or even white color for the most of your website design. This keeps the balance in your website and makes it easier on your visitor's eyes. Having a website that just looks good is not good enough. You must also be constantly thinking about your visitors as you design your website, and maintaining a balance of colors in your website can make your visitors happier and want to stay a while.

Creating an Prominent Part -

If you want to make your visitors see one thing on your website before anything else, you will need to make it stands out from the rest of the design. You can use a variety of methods to create a focal point for visitors, such as using a different color, making it smaller or larger than other parts of your design, and even creating a specific shape for what you want to stand out.

The Lines in Your Website -

There are always lines in websites. Some lines are horizontal (which make the visitor feel calm), some are horizontal (which are more active, and others are diagonal (which are very active). The lines in your website can have a direct effect on your visitors. If you want to create a business website, use horizontal lines. If you are creating a website that is specifically made for kids, you can use the very active lines that make it fun for kids.

Website Color -

This is something that is very important for website designs. Different colors can make people feel a variety of feelings, and some can even bring strain to the visitors' eyes making it hard to look at the website, let alone read anything on it. Colors can either complement each other or clash with each other. Most websites have two to three different colors in the theme of their website. If the colors clash, it will not look so good. You should use the least amount of different colors on your website as you can. Too many different colors will look horrible and even confuse a visitor. You should start with black and white (white for the background and black for any text) and add in a light color if you want to.

Website Space -

You can create a variety of illusions with what you do with the space on your web pages. A lot of the time good website design is all about knowing what to put where.

This is a brief overview of a website's common design principles and elements. They all play an important part in your website's success.
