You want your website to look great.
But you always struggle in choosing the right colors for your website?

Let's restructure the order of designing our websites
with the right tools and better strategy
To build a better design and user experience
What we will learn today!

- Decide the number of pages and their linking
- Prototype the layout
- Collect the required resources
- Design your web pages
What is a great user experience?
UX is ensuring that users find value in what you are providing to them
Useful: Your content should be original and fulfill a need
Usable: The site must be easy to use
Accessible: Content needs to be accessible to people with disabilities
Credible: Users must trust and believe what you tell them
Desirable: Image, identity, brand, and other design elements are used to evoke emotion and appreciation
Findable: Content needs to be navigable and locatable onsite and offsite
Who is your audience?
Create your brand!
through the color scheme and fonts!
How?
- Find the right color combinations
- Choose your Primary and Secondary fonts
- Fix your font variants, and colors around the website

Collect the resources

- Fonts (Google fonts)
- Icons (fontawesome)
- Create your content information
Finally, Code your design!
Be Attentive while designing!
- Your designs should be consistent and responsive. Responsiveness is the key element for designing websites.
- The same elements should be used across all web pages for consistency like buttons, fonts, forms, and image containers.
- Create your own brand identity by fixing the colors scheme and fonts styles.
- You must research, decide the structure of your web pages and collect all your resources before placing content.
- Make it responsive first then do the additional stuff.
Happy Coding!
