Web design is more than how a website looks. Well designed websites make it easy for web visitors to find what they need – they provide a good user experience. Good web design companies consider how visitors will use your website and incorporate your website goals into the design, creating clear user journeys so your visitors can easily find what they need.

A responsive website will automatically adapt to fit the device it’s being viewed on. Your website must be designed to fit a small mobile screen or a large desktop, so your customers still get an optimised viewing experience.

Wireframing is a process used by web designers to show customers a basic layout of web pages and how they connect to other pages. Creating wireframes allows customers to test the user journeys outlined in the sitemap before any design is added. They are not distracted by images, colours or fonts, so they can focus solely on the page layout and the site’s navigation, making sure it is clear and includes all the requirements.

At Alberon, we create fully interactive wireframes for customers, complete with clickable buttons and include examples from the sitemap to clarify requirements. Customers can interact with the wireframes and click through to follow the proposed user journey.

A user journey is a route a web user takes to reach their goal when using a website. Some believe a well-designed user journey will enable users to achieve their goal in no more than three clicks. But, the focus is on how clear the visitor journey is – how easy is it for them to get from the landing page to the information they need? The easier the journey, the more likely they will return and leave with a positive experience.

User Experience or UX design is used to describe how a user interacts with and experiences a system, product or service. Rather than how a website looks and the colours used, it is concerned with how the website functions. UX design considers how visitors use a website and how it is structured to provide them with the best possible user experience.

A content management system (CMS) is a framework that developers use to build a website, but it is also what you use to manage and update content on your website. You can add content, new images and even create new pages, and you don’t need any technical skills to do it. You simply make your changes via an easy to use admin panel. You can easily update your website, rather than asking your development company every time, which could prove costly.
