Customer Street and UFindUs Web Design

How many of you have built websites yourselves but want to go that extra bit further?

I’m going to explain a few things that people don’t understand, basic art terms that will give you more of an understanding when designing your websites or advertisements.

Companies like Dulux® are extremely good at matching colours, What you need to do is put yourself in their shoes and think a little outside the box but be careful not to go of the rails, and trust me speaking from experience it can be easily done.

If you’re using Photoshop or something similar you will have a primary and secondary colour palette. This is a good starting point to try and get some suited colours matched.

Everyone has different styles, when you design a website you have to think about the audience your subjecting it to. A website should be thoroughly planned out in design and structure. Your structure comes first as this will dictate the set amount of buttons or links you need to incorporate in your design.

For business use I would recommend using light colours on a white background as this is normally the corporate theme. For personal use, let your imagination go wild but remember both of them still require a sitemap planned out.

Good Practice

If you want to succeed with a well organised and tidy looking website, it’s good practice to make sure your headers and boxes are aligned perfectly pixel for pixel you can check this by dragging the rulers from the ruler bar (Press Ctrl + R to enable/disable) the standard colour of rulers is cyan blue. You can change this by double clicking on the ruler; there are extra options in there for enhancing your Photoshop experience.
