In this world of technology, people prefer to
work and complete their daily tasks online. For
this, you need such a competitive and
profit-oriented Website Design Dubai that boosts
your business by drawing the attention of your
customers. A good Website Design Dubai is not
only one that looks good but also has a smooth
user interface. A customer who wants to check
your services and goods will first examine your
reputation online by judging the website of your
business before visiting the physical location.
Therefore, a website is the reflection of your
business organization. The design of a website
is much crucial in setting a positive
image/impression of your business on the
end-users. Good web design plays a significant
role in end-user-conversions. Therefore,
overlooking any detail of your website may result
in poor performance of your website, thus losing
potential customers. So, how can you achieve
such a Website Design Dubai? Dont worry! You are
at the right place. Here, you will get to know
eight principles of good Website Designing Dubai
that helps a Web Design Agency build not only an
aesthetic Website Design Dubai that soothes the
eyes of end-users, but also an interactive and
user-friendly one that engages them hence
generating conversions.
1. Your Website DesigTh Says Much About Your
BusiThess Goals
Not every website design may have seemed
appealing to you. A user knows which kind of
website design attracts him/her. We have
included two website designs, as examples, to
illustrate the importance of good website design.

If you look at the first website, what you will
notice earliest is the colors. The colors used in
this website design have no contrast with each
other and their combination looks horrible and
unpleasant to the human eye. The readability is
very poor which is big. This design will leave
the user squeezing his/her eyelids together. Now
lets have a look at this second example. As we
know that colors and visuals do say much about
the information to be conveyed. However,
extremism, in any case, may lead to the
discontent of the receiver. In the previous
example, there were a lot of colors that left the
website to be uninteresting and useless. As you
see this example, you will find it unambiguous.
This site seems dull and empty, which will leave
a visitor wondering the websites purpose and
what services it provides. This kind of design
will leave a bad impression of the organization
on the users mind as if they are not sure about
their business goals. If not these, then what
kind of a Website Design will inspire your users
to visit the site again and again? For this,
you must attempt the following steps Be clear
about the objective of your website. It can be
end-user-conversions, quality sales or the
initiation of consumer interests. Particularize
the niche of your website that could be
education, sports, fashion and beauty, children,
health and fitness, online shopping, or any
other. Next, go for those visual designs and
color that suit the niche. For example, fashion
and beauty, education, children kind of sites
attract young and soft-minded people, therefore
subtle colors like blue, pink, yellow will do.
While for any kind of warning websites such as
health and fitness will require shades of grays,
blacks, and blues. For food-oriented sites,
vibrant colors like red, orange, green will prove
to be effective. Sequence your content
paragraphs according to their priority to
emphasize the objectives of your organization on
the user.

These dont need to be the only steps that you
must follow to come up with a competitive visual
design of your website, however, these are some
of the guidelines that may help you out in doing
so. You can play with multiple shapes and shades
and try out new trends of beautifying the looks
of your website that align with the content of
your Website Design Dubai. Here are some
essential laws in the essence of the user's point
of view that will help you solve the challenge
of presenting the content on your website in an
effective way. 1. Visual hierarchy You must
know at which detail the visitors eye will look
at first and then the other parts of the
website. To place your website information in an
order of the most important to the least one is
called Visual Hierarchy. For this purpose, you
must know your organizational goals to help
prioritize the details. You can catch the
attention of the end-user by using larger sizes,
bold colors and contrast for the parts you want
to highlight on your website. If you look at the
website of Instagram, the part that catches your
sight the earliest is the brand-name Instagram
in an eye-catching typeface, as the user first
looks for the brand-name after opening a website
as a matter of surety. The second part that a
users eye catches is the big, elegant iPhone
image on the left. Next, the blue Log in with
Facebook button seeks a users attention which
is a shortcut to use Instagram as the user
doesnt have to fill in the whole form and can
easily log in using Facebook credentials.

In this way, you can apply this law to your Web
Design Dubai to prompt the user to interact with
the call-to-actions, hence generating
conversions. 2. Golden ratio The present-day
designers of a Web Design Agency follow the
Golden Ratio rule that was used in old times.
The image below is achieved by some calculations
(which we wont look at). Designers believe to
get exquisite designs using this sound rule.

Dont worry. Dont get hypnotized by this image.
I have shown some properly-structured websites
below which present how this design relates to a
fine Website Design Dubai. Wondering why these
websites align with the design of the golden
ratio? Well, everyone is very much attracted by
the nature that exists around us. If I show you
below, you can see the image of some of the
gifts of nature that are also based on this
golden ratio curly pattern.
Royex Best website desigThiThg priThciples

Royex Best website designing principles
Things like tornadoes, shells, flowers, fem, and
the galaxy tend to follow the same design. So,
if you want to play with the minds of the
visitors of your website and manipulate their
interests, then you can try this golden ratio
principle since some architects and psychologists
accept that such visuals attract the human eye
most. 3. Rule of thirds Adding images to your
site is not an option, but mandatory because
images convey your message to the viewers more
effectively. At this time, follow the Rule of
Thirds. To do so, divide the panel where you
want to place an image with two horizontal and 2
vertical lines, as shown below. You will get
nine equal parts. Place the crucial parts of your
image on the intersecting points of these lines.
Doing so makes the image visually aesthetic. You
may place other important parts of your website
content such as facts or keywords to using this
method.
Royex Best website desigThiThg priThciples

Include less, but effective images.
4. Law of similarity Slack, a team collaboration
software tool, applies this law as illustrated
below Our mind finds it easier to look for
desired information out of a bunch of data when
the data objects have been sorted into related
groups of items. See the three Slacks of brands
highlighted by red horizontal lines that are
properly formatted, hence making them stand out
of other parts of the site showing that these
are portfolio blocks.

2. MiThimize LoadiThg Time of Your Website The
more optimized your website performance is, the
more visitors will prefer to stay longer and
surf through the website. Your site must work
smoothly on all kinds of devices. When a user
clicks or types into the browser, your website
information must load within a maximum of 3
seconds. According to Unbounce
Royex Best website desigThiThg priThciples
10
Royex Best website designing principles
You will have a 7 decrement in the conversion
rate if your site loads for 100 milliseconds
more time. Pages with 5s load time have about
five times the bounce rate compared to those with
a 2s load time. 73 of mobile users have gone
through websites that have low performance. So
you see, your website needs to be fast to keep
you in profit. If you're wondering how you can
attain such a high-performance website then this
will require another discussion on a whole. You
will have to keep up with the improving internet
connection and telecom as the duration of a
visitor being attentive and patient to your
website decreases with it. Unable to do so, you
will have to face certain profit loss.
3. Make Your Website Easy To Locate It is
important to rank high in the search engine
results (such as Google) to help end-users reach
your website first. This is can also be hard to
achieve due to powerful competitors. However, if
a user searches for something related to your
niche, then your website must arrive in the
first five of Search Engine Result Pages
(SERP). In this way, you can get the most
visitors, who can find your site easily hence
leaving them contented which may result in
positive reviews and recommendations. You can
increase the visibility and hence visitors of
your website by including social media links,
such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn,
or others because people use social media more
than they surf on the web.

4. IThclude Users HoThest Reviews aThd
TestimoThials
Adding testimonials to your website is a big
trend nowadays. They also turn out to be
beneficial in improving your impact on the users
minds. The true words from those who have
experienced your website themselves are worthy in
proving your website better than the other
ones. When including a testimonial slider in
your website, make sure it reveals respected,
honest and genuine reviews of your valuable
customers and also the slider itself must have a
fine look that is simple and easy to navigate.
You wont believe, but people judge your website
and your company through testimonials.
Royex Best website desigThiThg priThciples

Royex Best website designing principles
5. EThsure Accessibility We discussed in the
first principle of the list that vibrant colors
and large size images are likely to attract
users more. But beware! This may also result in
losing them. Why? Such glimmering and shining
buttons or other features may be dangerous for
people with photophobia or improper
vision. This is approximately 1.03 billion
people. As reported by the American Academy of
Ophthalmology, around 80 of migraine patients
suffer from photophobia. That is not a less
figure to be ignored. Therefore, you must be
careful about every aspect of your website
design, taking care of all kinds of users that
might visit your website. Either they enjoy the
appearance of your website or do they get in
torture. Of course, you want all of them to
return happy.
6. Focus OTh Usability Apart from the visual
appearance of your website, your website needs to
be functional, too. However, people do prefer
good looks but at the same time, a
well-functioning website is necessary for better
user experience. All the pages included in your
Web Design Dubai must be properly linked to each
other for flawless navigation so that user can
reach the desired piece of information without
any discomfort. The elements of your website that
you need to prioritize such as call-to-action
buttons should be able to be seen easily. It
doesnt mean you need to add a lot of interactive
elements in your site, such as buttons,
navigational bars, check-boxes or input fields.
This depends on what kind of your website is and
how much engagement does it require the user to
perform. Your website may contain blogs which
does not need much of these elements. However, a
website like an online shop will require lots of
such interactions and pages. I want you to go
through the following particulars related to the
usability of a website
Royex Best website desigThiThg priThciples
13
Royex Best website designing principles
Is your website responsive? (The content does
not dislocate on various devices). Have you
presented the content according to its
priority? Is the navigation instinctive? (Are
users able to navigate through the website
without any hindrance and find the desired
information easily?) Does the arrangement of
website details include a single item within the
attention time duration of the user? (useful
attribute) Does your site include chatbots? At
what occasions does the search bar appear on your
site? In the case of goods transactions, does
your website support several other currencies?
Do the colors of your website comfort the eyes
of the viewer? Have you sensibly presented the
content? Is white space being nicely
utilized? Are the graphics and images
high-resolution in quality? In this era of
technology, the trend of making life easier by
accommodating almost every feature of a computer
on small devices, such as smartphones, has made
responsiveness the key to better usability of
your website than all other points discussed
above.
7. Make Sure That Your Website Is Scalable You
must be ready for this situation. If you have an
e-commerce website and suppose it becomes one of
the top-selling ones. You have a flood of orders
on your website which your website is unable to
cope with. The users, on the other hand, are
facing certain disruptions and errors because
your site just stopped responding to their
requests and simply crashes. What would happen
then? User experience will witness it all. People
who would have faced issues will leave negative
reviews hence causing disrepute to your site.
They will then prefer moving on to some other
sites, which may probably include your
rivals. To avoid such situations, make sure to
test the performance of your website before
launching it. Optimize your website to handle
mass traffic.

8. EThsure Ease Of MaiThteThaThce You never know
what will change in the blink of an eye, since
the trends and demands of user keep changing
with time (every second as you might guess). Make
sure to keep maintaining your website to let it
not lose the position in the search engine
results and retain a positive reputation in the
eyes of end-users. This does not mean you have
to modify your website from scratch. You may just
need to update facts and figures, latest images,
or not letting the users get tired of your
never-changing Web Design Dubai. It is easy to
maintain a site that is designed on a Content
Management System (CMS) for instance WordPress
or Joomla. In such cases, you will just need to
log into your account to make required changes
to your site. However, if you have a
custom-built site that you may probably have to
get it designed from a web developer, then you
must ask your Web Design Agency to provide you
with three things for your ease of
management Use comments in each section of the
code so that you can easily recognize a
particular piece of code for modifications. Requ
est them to keep the documentation and
instruction notes in simple, plain text. Ask
the Web Design Agency to solve any issue in the
future that you might get stuck in.
CoThclusioTh So here were all of the eight
principles that you must consider while striving
to achieve the best Web Design Dubai, leaving
every other site behind. These concepts arent
absolute but are useful to get that top-notch
website for your brand to break all walls.

Living in a fast-paced world of technology,
successful promotion of any business would
require a website. But to initiate a fresh
website is a vital decision for any business

index of heart, similarly, a website is the
reflection of your brand in the market The
viewers find desired information through a

Keeping all the facts in mind, we have come up
with some ideas and tips that separate the
finest business sites from terrible websites. Are
you ready to change the approaches you made to
build a website before? Below are nine fruitful
ideas to consider while making a Website Design
Dubai Mobile-Compatible Nowadays thinking an
individual without a mobile is insanity. You
should not make the mistake of ignoring to keep
your website consistent on all kinds of devices.
The most popular device, being the smartphone,
is used by almost 51 people around the
world. Make sure to request your Web Designing
Agency to build your website not only that looks
fine on desktops, but also accommodates itself in
compliance with the mobile sizes. Calls-To-Action
Nothing accelerates the traffic at website
more than CTA elements on every page. What is a
CTA? CTA may be the most significant part of your
display ad since it tells consumers what you
want them to do. It could be a statement or a
question that motivates your website visitors to
perform actions. For example, including the
statement, Follow us on Facebook/Twitter/Instagra
m for more updates at the end of a blog post
inspires readers to take action by following your
business on social media. Every page of a
website must include at least one CTA for better
transit. It is also critical to remember that
when you include a CTA in your website design,
your visitors should immediately be able to
complete the suggested action by clicking on the
button. It should not take more than 20 seconds
to complete it.

Things to consider when designing a website
For instance, if you include a CTA that says
Download Our Brochure Here! your visitors
should be able to click on the word here and
instantly be taken to the download link. Not
like there should be a form asking for your
biodata or things like that. Complex CTAs or
broken links will leave the users feeling
frustrated and will likely result in your
visitors to return unhappy (not good!). Target
Consumers No business can be considered useful
without target consumers. Target consumers are
the people who will use our services and
products. So, our Website Design Dubai must be
feasible enough that our consumers do not face
any hindrance while using it. To create a
Website Design Dubai that meets the needs of your
crucial target consumers, you have to first
analyze that, which those people are, and for
what reason they are visiting your website. It
is not unusual for one business to have multiple
target consumer groups. For example, a website
for a restaurant would likely select foodies as
its target consumers. But if the chefs who work
at the restaurant also access the website to
register themselves, then the chefs should also
be considered as target consumers. Before
consulting any Website Designing Agencies, it is
necessary to list down your target consumers.
Consider how you change your site to better meet
customers needs. Determine the type of your
website users. Communication Communication
between the customer and retailer is the key
factor in the progress of any business. There
should always be a FAQ section on every page of a
website. After all, the visitors are the ones
for whom you are creating your website for. So,
be sure to ask yourself the following questions
ThiThgs to coThsider wheTh desigThiThg a website
18
Things to consider when designing a website
How do I want my customers to be able to reach
me? (Email, telephone, online chat, etc.) What
hours do I want to be available to my customers
via my chosen communication methods? Who in
my organization should be able to receive
communications from clientele? What security
measures should be in place when communicating
with clients via my website? Am I a good
candidate for artificial intelligence or
chatbots? These questions will surely
revolutionize the progress of your website along
with good client feedback. Social
Proof Social networking is a major aspect of
online marketing. By including social evidence in
your website content, you can increase your
trademark loyalty and give your visitors
additional reasons to support your
business. How do you do it? Include photos or
logos of your authentications to highlight how
qualified you are Incorporate links to your
company social media pages where possible
Incorporate photos and links to the social
networking profiles of industry influencers who
use your product or support your brand Include
a media page on your website where you link to
articles and published content that mentions
your brand Add social sharing buttons to your
blog that display how much your post is shared or
liked.

Extensibility Progress is not a one-time thing.
It is an ongoing process. You cannot make a
website which does not need any updates with
time. Always keep the structure of your website
design enough flexible. Relying on the current
needs and not keeping the future prospective in
mind is a big mistake in the process of web
development. Things like avoiding SPOF (single
points of failure) are a must-do. Where will you
keep your website data, how will you access it,
and how frequently will you back it up? Is your
database capable of handling more amounts of data
with time? CMS Wordpress is a top-rated CMS at
this time. Almost half number of the total
websites today on the internet use WordPress for
managing the maintenance of their websites. This
also relies upon the type of the business. But
the fact of the matter is that always choose an
appropriate CMS for your website. We recommend
researching each of the top CMS choices
consulting with your website design agency and
making an informed choice using the information
you gather. Resources and Funds Budget is the
backbone of any business. So expecting a well
designed and fully operational website without a
good amount is totally a myth at all. For a
completely custom website project you can expect
to pay from 10 000 AED to 25 000 AED on average.
The cost can increase if your site project
involves several pages. This can decrease if you
decide to go with a template design. Dividing
Work For the better use of time, always divide
roles and responsibilities among the staff before
the work begins. By the word work here, it
means

Listing the material for website. Gathering
of logos, images, and graphics for the website.
Compiling of branding guidelines. Writing of
website material. Privacy policy and legal text
required for the site. Review and approval of
pitched designs. Website Appearance Does the
logo you chose for your websites go well with the
niche of your business? Do you even follow the
visual branding guidelines? These are some
details that you must consider while getting
your website build from any of the Website
Designing Agencies. These are few things to
consider when investing in building a website.
The more genuine, consistent, and contemporary
your logo design is, the more visually appealing
your website will be. The point that should be
kept in mind is your logo design is not the
responsibility of the team you hire for the
development of the website. It should be you who
guide them according to your idea for how should
the logo look. Conclusion By following these
ten tips in people from all industries can
elevate all hindrances from the route of a
successful website project.
