There are a lot of design principles need to stick to. Let’s have a look!

Simplification

You shouldn’t be ambitious in design. You will make your website isn’t clean and fresh with a lot of unnecessary features. It’s overwhelming!!! Keep the site neat and simple enough to show your purpose. The users will investigate your web easily, they find out the value so that your bound rate is decreased and your user engagement is increased as well.

Usability and Functionality

The web design is very important because it’s related closely with the conversion rate. A designer knows which button, which calls to action, which link is positioned correctly. The clear path to lead the customer to the next step, check out quickly and then buy more.

Consistency

Keep the web stick to text color, text size, headings, sub-headings, button styles… throughout each of the pages. Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) will help you match design elements well.

Mobile Friendly

Responsive isn’t be ignored because people use several devices to browse, shopping, work and get information. Especially, the smartphone is an indispensable device, people hold it on almost time.

Color Palette

Color should be combined perfectly. It makes the user comfortable to look at. The poor color palette will lead the user to distraction, don’t use too much color; just 3-4 tones are enough to get a clear website.

Quick Loading

You don’t have time to wait for a page load, do you? A lot of sites are waving you outside. So, you should optimize your page such as image sizes, HTTP requests, etc. Compress HTML, CSS and JavaScript to improve the loading speed. Complete loading within 3 seconds!!!

Easy Navigation

Navigation is the way visitors find what they are looking for. Simple, intuitive and logical is the key criterion of the navigation. Create a clear page hierarchy so that the customers can get the information they need within three clicks.

Will AI Designer Will Replace the Role of Real Web Designer?

The answer is no. AI is the virtual design assistant that helps designer some stuffs but not the whole job. Designers do a job they do best and leave the rest for AI. The excellent skill of AI is the automated gathering and analysis requirements through a chatbot. It’s not an easy process with the combination of diverse techniques such as machine learning, NLP, image recognition, data extraction tools, artificial vision and algorithms, etc. A voice assistant chatbot will provide a lot of question and detailed description for the client to answer, choose or list. They are collecting requirements and stories of the client to design website and also track the user behavior to enhance the user experience and user interface (UX-UI) day by day because they are the most critical concept in web design.

Although AI is smart and useful, it doesn’t more creative than a human. Web design is a creative work, the web needs to be customized to engage more visitors, more customer with an informative and beautiful interface to embody the unique brand. However, the labor market is hard and changeable. Whoever doesn’t meet the need and the expertise is weak will be extruded and replaced by intelligence machine and robot.

Almost the result of design-related AI is semi-professional and it will be finished by human perfectly. AI can learn the rules but can’t mimic the creativity and the context completely. Getting the semantics on the webpage is difficult. As above reasons, we think AI doesn’t supplant the designers at least in the near future.

Conclusion

AI enables you to design an attractive website without hassles. AI helps you captures the user’s attention and enhance user retention well through data analytics. We hope this AI solution will be developed to augment the web design more and more gorgeous and stylish.
