Actionable Design Tips For Startups •
Let’s look at 10 ways you can improve your designs in a current or future startup to build stronger brand, drive more visitors, achieve better conversion rates and generally succeed:– Simplify – Reduce Color – Use Only Two Fonts – Improve Readability – Mobile First – Use Stunning Imagery – Think of the End User
Actionable Design Tips For Startups • Simplify:– Make your website easy to navigate, use simple copy for navigation, include search, clickable logo, everything that visitors are used to. Following some web conventions might be a good idea, too. – Main things to consider: • Visual hierarchy • Contrast • Flow
Actionable Design Tips For Startups • Reduce Color:– Colors are important in building a memorable and successful brand, however, many times designers use too many colors in startup website color palettes. – Your goal is to use one or two colors and neutral hues for copy and other graphic elements like boxes, lines, icons etc.
Actionable Design Tips For Startups • Use Only Two Fonts:– Typography is an extremely important communication tool for most of the web. – One of the most common mistakes that inexperienced designers tend to use is too many typefaces. – Pick one typeface or a combination of two and stick to it. Your designs will look more clean and trustworthy.
Actionable Design Tips For Startups • Improve Readability:– Typography is what people use to read, learn from and get the message across – Things to note:– Contrast – Line-height – Hierarchy
Actionable Design Tips For Startups • Mobile First:– Responsive websites are the new standard. – Think mobile first, include the most important information on the mobile version and make sure to make it easy for visitors to take action by using simple form and large (easy to tap) call to action buttons so people can’t miss it.
Actionable Design Tips For Startups • Use Stunning Imagery:– A picture is worth a thousand words, so save your words and use stunning images to capture attention. – A common pitfall for designers is using stock photography that only kind of fits the idea and implement it right into the design.
Actionable Design Tips For Startups • Think of the End User:– Spend some time to get to know your end user, define your target audience and build a typical user profile or user persona. – Design for your end user and focus bringing value for your customer. – Always remember that you are designing for your customer not yourself.
