Visual design should support quality content and the user experience.

Four ways design adds value

Builds trust
Improves brand perception
Increases engagement
Adds delight

Design brilliant content

You should have a good idea who your target audience is, create content to appeal to that audience. Both search engines and visitors value original relevant content.

Design the experience

The term ‘user experience’ (UX) is used to describe how someone interacts with your website. Get it right, and you will delight visitors. Get it wrong, and you will only frustrate them.

UX and Design will naturally cross over

Professional visual design gives you the opportunity to look and feel like your brand online. Solid design improves brand perception and builds trust.

For example: If you’re running a blog, make sure line lengths are short, and the typography is tight. If you’re selling online, optimise for mobile and make sure the checkout process is painless.

Don’t make me think

Google.com is a super example of visual design taking a back seat to the user experience. Granted it doesn’t look very impressive, but we all know it’s incredibly useful.
