Mastering Web Design and Development

6 IMPORTANT ELEMENTS FOR SUCCESS

Introduction

In today’s online world, having a website is like having a shop on the internet. However having any old website won’t do. To make your website work well and stand out, you need to know about web design and development. This blog post will explain six important things about web design and development that can help make your website great.

1. Making Your Website Fit For All Screens

(Responsive Design)

Think of your website as something that can change its shape to fit different screens, like phones, tablets, and computers. This is called “responsive design.” With more people using phones to browse the internet, your site needs to look good and work well on all screens. This also helps your website show up better on Google.

Your site should look good on phones and computers.

People should be able to find what they need easily.

Use clear, simple language for all to understand.

2. Helping People Find Their Way (Intuitive Navigation)

Imagine your website as a map. People should be able to find their way around without getting lost. Make sure your menu is easy to use, your content is well-organized, and the words you use make sense to your visitors.

Your website menu should be easy to understand.

Information should be easy to find.

Use words that everyone can understand.

3. Writing Great Content (Compelling Content)

The words and pictures on your website are really important. They should teach, entertain, and interest your visitors. Use simple and clear language, not big, complicated words. Good content not only brings people in but also makes Google like your site more.

Write helpful and interesting content.

Use easy words and avoid difficult technical language.

Make sure your content is useful for your visitors.

4. Speeding Up Your Website (Loading Speed)

Have you ever been on a website that takes forever to load? It’s frustrating! Slow websites can make people leave, and Google doesn’t like them either. You can make your site faster by using smaller images, cleaner code, and saving some information on people’s computers.

Use small images that load quickly.

Keep your websites neat and tidy.

Make your site load faster so people don't get impatient.

5. Getting Noticed (SEO Supercharge)

Getting your website noticed on Google is like magic. You can do this by using words that people search for in your content, making sure images have good descriptions, and using easy-to-read website addresses. Linking to other helpful websites can also make Google like your site more.

Use words people search for in your content.

Describe your images to Google knows what they are.

Make your web address easy to read.

Share links to other useful websites.

Explore advanced SEO strategies.

6. Making It Look Good (Aesthetic Appeal)

How your website looks is important too. It should be pleasing to the eye with nice colors, fonts, and pictures. These visuals should match the words on your site and make it more enjoyable to read.

Use pretty colors, nice fonts, and good images.

Keep your website's look consistent.

Make sure the visuals go well with your words.

Conclusion

Knowing about web design and development is crucial for your website’s success. By using responsive design, simple navigation, great content, a fast-loading site, SEO tricks, and making it look nice, you can create a website that people enjoy using. Remember, keeping things simple and user-friendly is the way to go.

Friendly reminder that Wix.com is an Israeli-based company (& some website builders to look into instead)

I know the BDS movement is not targeting Wix.com specifically (see here for the companies they're currently boycotting) but since Wix originated in Israel as early as 2006, it would be best to drop them as soon as you can.

And while you're at it, you should leave DeviantArt too, since that company is owned by Wix. I deleted my DA account about a year ago not just because of their generative AI debacle but also because of their affiliation with their parent company. And just last month, DA has since shown their SUPPORT for Israel in the middle of Israel actively genociding the Palestinian people 😬

Anyway, I used to use Wix and I stopped using it around the same time that I left DA, but I never closed my Wix account until now. What WAS nice about Wix was how easy it was to build a site with nothing but a drag-and-drop system without any need to code.

So if you're using Wix for your portfolio, your school projects, or for anything else, then where can you go?

Here are some recommendations that you can look into for website builders that you can start for FREE and are NOT tied to a big, corporate entity (below the cut) 👇👇

Carrd.co

This is what I used to build my link hub and my portfolio, so I have the most experience with this platform.

It's highly customizable with a drag-and-drop arrangement system, but it's not as open-ended as Wix. Still though, it's easy to grasp & set up without requiring any coding knowledge. The most "coding" you may ever have to deal with is markdown formatting (carrd provides an on-screen cheatsheet whenever you're editing text!) and section breaks (which is used to define headers, footers, individual pages, sections of a page, etc.) which are EXTREMELY useful.

There's limits to using this site builder for free (max of 2 websites & a max of 100 elements per site), but even then you can get a lot of mileage out of carrd.

mmm.page

This is a VERY funny & charming website builder. The drag-and-drop system is just as open-ended as Wix, but it encourages you to get messy. Hell, you can make it just as messy as the early internet days, except the way you can arrange elements & images allows for more room for creativity.

Straw.page

This is an extremely simple website builder that you can start from scratch, except it's made to be accessible from your phone. As such, the controls are limited and intentionally simple, but I can see this being a decent website builder to start with if all you have is your phone. The other options above are also accessible from your phone, but this one is by far one of the the simplest website builders available.

Hotglue.me

This is also a very simple & rudimentary website builder that allows you to make a webpage from scratch, except it's not as easy to use on a mobile phone.

At a glance, its features are not as robust or easy to pick up like the previous options, but you can still create objects with a simple double click and drag them around, add text, and insert images or embeds.

Mind you, this launched in the 2010s and has likely stayed that way ever since, which means that it may not have support for mobile phone displays, so whether or not you wanna try your hand at building something on there is completely up to you!

Sadgrl's Layout Editor

sadgrl.online is where I gathered most of these no-code site builders! I highly recommend looking through the webmaster links for more website-building info.

This simple site builder is for use on Neocities, which is a website hosting service that you can start using for free. This is the closest thing to building a site that resembles the early internet days, but the sites you can make are also responsive to mobile devices! This can be a good place to start if this kind of thing is your jam and you have little to no coding experience.

Although I will say, even if it sounds daunting at first, learning how to code in HTML and CSS is one of the most liberating experiences that anyone can have, even if you don't come from a website scripting background. It's like cooking a meal for yourself. So if you want to take that route, then I encourage to you at least try it!

Most of these website builders I reviewed were largely done at a glance, so I'm certainly missing out on how deep they can go.

Oh, and of course as always, Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Do you need to build a static website for fun or profit?

Try the Simple.css Framework. It is a CSS framework that makes semantic HTML look good.

A good-looking sans-serif local font stack.

Typographic best practices.

Automagic flipping to dark mode.

Fully responsive.

Sensible defaults that format standard + HTML elements.

Super lightweight (10k css).

Give it a try @ https://simplecss.org/ (my home page https://vivekgite.com for live demo).

It's been a long time since I last wrote on this blog. Back then I had a job, I lived alone, and I had indie video game projects. It turns out I moved in with my partner and this is my new setup, which I bought when I was laid off from the company I worked for for 5 and a half years. Now I'm creating a web development portfolio on my GitHub because I can't publish my work from my previous company under my own name. Right now, I'm counting daily calories because I'm trying to lose 20 kilos this year ( I must eat less than 1800 calories per day in order to achieve it), and I've also enrolled in a 50-plus-week full-stack development bootcamp.

I can't sleep well because not having a job is really affecting me (I've been laid off since January 28th. I really didn't want to continue there, but I also didn't want to not have a job). And I'm trying to maintain a Ballet Fit routine to avoid sitting still. So this is my third blog start, focusing on personal and web development (lol), and food tracking. You could say it's a general habit tracker.

For anyone reading this for the first time, hello, I'm "bandit", 32 years old, interested in learning languages (I speak english, spanish, portuguese and a really basic russian), and just switched from the arts to development, among other things. I enjoy metal music, anime, and TV shows. I'm rebuilding my collection of manga, magazines, and books that I lost after moving so much in my youth. I hope to find more people on studyblr. 💕
