Colour in web design has an impact on your traffic
Filed under: Web Design Tips by Richard @ 9:23 am
Colour is important to people; different colours make people react in different ways and can make them react in either a negative or positive way. Now when it comes to website design there are many factors that go into the design of a good website.
Everyone knows about the fact that a website must be user friendly, that the website must not be cluttered with unnecessary graphics and that the web content must be relevant and useful. What far too many people forget about is the use of colour and what a huge impact it will have on your website visitors. For any business, it is too costly to lose potential customers because of the wrong colours being used in the design of their website.
Colour psychology 101
Your aim with your website is to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, even if you sell a niche product. This means not only people with full sight, but also those with colour blindness and partial sight. Variations and shades of colour used on your website will be seen differently by those with different colour perception. A good web design agency will be aware of the huge importance of colours and how different groups of people experience it.
It is important to discuss the colour perception aspect of your web design with your chosen designer. This is so that your website can be optimised to appeal to a far wider audience than a website that does not take this into consideration. In this way your website will be designed for optimum accessibility to not only normal sighted people but to the large percentage of people who are visually impaired in different ways too.
