Design Process

Creating a website is a complex task. Some have great content but lack appealing design, while others with a polished look may lack ongoing maintenance. Web development involves more than just coding; the design is equally crucial throughout the process.

Process

Ensure a seamless web experience with these timeless essentials – effortless navigation, top-tier data security, and lightning-fast load times are non-negotiable for your website. Elevate your site’s appeal and visibility on search engines by incorporating these cutting-edge features and elements.

Bold Color

Embrace vibrant minimalism, a key trend in 2022 web design! Stand out with bold, saturated colors that make your brand pop amidst the sea of soft neutrals chosen by many companies in recent years.

Website Load Time and Page Speed Are King

Fast load times are crucial for successful web design. They significantly impact user experience (UX) and search engine rankings. Over half of internet users expect a site to load within two seconds. If it takes more than three seconds, visitors may leave, unlikely to return.

A speedy website is not just a preference; it’s a priority. Faster loading led Pinterest to a 40% reduction in wait times, boosting search engine traffic and sign-ups by 15%. Your site’s performance directly influences your success – make speed a top priority for a better user experience and improved results.

Smart Content Load for a More Enjoyable User Experience

Streamline your website for optimal performance! Instead of burdening your site with resource-heavy elements, consider smart techniques like lazy loading and infinite scroll. These proven strategies, long embraced by top social networks and one-page websites, ensure that your site loads only the essential content users need. By adopting these technologies, your website can not only outperform the competition but also enhance the overall user experience. Improve site speed, boost conversion rates, and elevate your ranking by implementing these user-friendly features.

Accessibility and Availability

Create a website that everyone can use. Inclusivity and accessibility aren’t just trends – they’re essential. Design with people of all abilities in mind. A user-friendly site isn’t just good customer service; it’s your key to higher conversion rates, improved SEO, and reaching a broader audience.

Elements that improve accessibility include:

  • Ensuring Readability:
    Ensure strong color contrast between text and backgrounds for easy readability.
  • Enhancing Navigation:
    Add focus indicators, like a rectangular outline, to highlight links when using keyboard navigation.
  • Improving Form Fields:
    Provide clear labels and instructions for form fields instead of using vague placeholder text.
  • Optimizing Images:
    Optimize images with functional alt tags for enhanced accessibility and improved SEO.

Design Process

Existing Screens

Optimize your website redesign with a strategic approach. Identify what needs improvement, acknowledge what’s already effective, and define the goals you aim to accomplish—regardless of your company size or industry. Let’s create a tailored plan for success!

Logo Design

Craft a logo and choose colors that embody trustworthiness and professionalism. Your logo serves as the core identity, distinguishing your bank with a unique image amidst other financial institutions.

Minimum Size

Ensure the registered trademark symbol accompanies the logo consistently. To maintain legibility across all sizes, the positioning of the ‘a’ about the logo is carefully considered. When the logo is below 60 px in height, the • symbol is separated from it. In such cases, the • remains a fixed 5 px tall. For sizes larger than 60 px, refer to the standard logo files provided to employees and partners, maintaining the specified ratio.

Color psychology

Discover the power of color in a logo—it speaks volumes about your brand. For well-established brands, the chosen color becomes intertwined with the essence of the business.

Opting for blue? You’re in good company. Blue, a color of both safety and sophistication, stands as the favored choice for logos.

Color psychology OF BLUE

Inspire calmness and trust with blue. Known for its peaceful and secure vibes, blue signifies stability and reliability. Businesses seeking a trustworthy image often choose blue for their advertising and marketing.

Color psychology OF WHITE

White symbolizes purity and innocence, often associated with brides and their virginity. Blue, another traditional choice, represents purity too. White is bright, creating a sense of space and adding highlights.
