WEB DESIGN CHOICES
Choose a design
with a purpose.
The best design decisions start with your business, your customers, and the tasks your website needs to support.
Layout, color, photography, and content should work together to make the experience clear.
A useful design begins with the right questions.

PRACTICAL WEBSITE GUIDANCE
Decisions that shape
the whole experience.
Think beyond individual colors or page sections. Consider how each choice helps a visitor understand and act.
Page structure
Group information in a way your customers understand. Give important services and questions clear destinations.
Navigation
Choose descriptive menu labels and a manageable number of choices. Make it easy to return to important pages.
Color and contrast
Build a coordinated palette and test text against its background. Use color with labels and clear visual structure.
Typography
Choose readable fonts, comfortable text sizes, and a consistent heading hierarchy. Check the design on smaller screens.
Photography and content
Use images and copy that explain the business and support the message. Give meaningful images helpful alternative text.
Features and maintenance
Choose forms, booking tools, ecommerce, or articles because they serve a real need. Consider the work required to maintain them.
DESIGN AROUND YOUR CUSTOMER
Make the useful path
the obvious path.
A service business, a retailer, and a community organization may need different pages and actions. A good design gives each audience the information and next steps that fit their situation.
