With advancements in web technologies and the introduction of newer concept of Web 3.0, changes in traditional website design is fast catching up. We have seen there was a major move in the way websites changed from simple left/right link bar to full page element display layout when Web 2.0 concept captured the world wide web. Based in Central Texas we have seen the design trend changing again, with businesses preferring bolder websites.

What design concepts are in now days?

• Bigger fonts for headings
• Usage of badges and banners
• Large Input fields
• Tag clouds
• Rounded corners
• Displaying steps of a process as bold icons.
• Vibrant colors like orange, green, blue etc.

We have also seen display of various elements of the website together, all on the very first home page. Besides attractive designs with images and flash, text areas are also being used extensively (unlike in web 2.0) to make the site even more friendly for Search Engines.

While web page design, involves arrangement of various elements with color variations, logo design is purely concept based creation targeting the business elements of an organization. While designing a logo, a careful understanding of the business concept and promoter’s mind set is required. Design jobs like Flyer and Brochure creation are also concept based creations and needs to be attractive and should convey the message effectively. For businesses who are spending on paid advertisements, visitor landing page ( page on which a user lands on your website after clicking on an advertizement) is the most important one. It needs to be designed by keeping the psychic of users in mind and should be designed under guidance of an internet marketing specialist. Besides attractive layout, correct message has to be conveyed to the users to make sure they buy the product and services being offered by the website.

While the choice for a design and concept is purely an individual selection and can vary from individual to individual. This calls in need for an expert design team to create and display various choices for the end client.

Principles of effective logo design

Following are the effective rules and principles of designing a meaningful logo:

• Make it simple: Make sure to design a logo that is easily memorable and recognisable. Do try to make it unique, but at the same time, do not complicate or overdraw it.
• Make it timeless: Keep in mind the important factor of timelessness of your logo. Think with the perspective of it still being applicable, even 50 years from the date of its creation. Do not go with ideas in current vogue, which might lose their relevance with time.
• Make it versatile: A point worth being paid attention to is that it should be versatile and usable in all formats, applications and mediums. It should also work and not lose its identity when used in a single colour.
• Make it appropriate: Keep in mind the fact that underneath all the show, flashiness and design; the logo must not fail to serve the purpose for which it has been designed. It should clearly portray the brand or firm which it has to advertise.
