Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

If you want to keep web users on your website and make them feel comfortable in it, it is significant to develop a proper navigation system. In case the users find it complicated to find what they need quickly or the website is difficult to navigate, they will never visit it again.

The main function of the navigation is to make it easier for us to find the information we need by showing the site content and make us feel that we know we are on the right way for finding the information we need. It has been proved through research that if a web site has a good navigation, then most of the users will come back and use the web site again.

This is not as easy as it may look like. To start with, you may use the computer basic colour scheme, or if your website has a logo, you may choose a scheme that suits its colours. If you have already designed a page header or title, you may be eager to select a colour that is already present in the design. Doing this, you’ll be able to make a sensible and aesthetic mixture of colours and colour schemes.

These days many people prefer to use a scheme selector for their website’s design, because it is time saving and gives you the ideas you need. If you want to use this selector, first of all, you need a basic colour. Take for instance the following situation: You have a green logo and you think that a greenish website will fit in well in presenting your company. Then the selector will give you the chance to choose complementary, analogic, monochromatic or contrasting amongst the others colours. (more…)
