Simpler is Better

I was looking for some t-shirt designs when I landed with this website with an amazing header. The good part is that it was not colorful. I also don’t think it made a huge effort to catch my eye. It was simple with the soft combination of black, white and red.

The good thing about it is how the header promotes its product without imposing on what the surfer likes to see. It simply shows the model and the t-shirt design. I guess simpler is still better.

Website Inside An Old Movie

If you are still looking for new ideas on how to design your website, then you will feel inspired when you see CSS garden’s website in an old movie. Not only did this website caught me by surprise, I was pretty amazed by the originality.

This website lets you see the content through the movie screen. In my opinion, the design catches attention but is not practical for content. This can work more for a landing page because of its ability to capture the surfer’s attention. However, if one would scroll down, he can see the content piling up in columns which can be hard to read. In this aspect, I think it garnered some negative points.

The design reminds me a lot of old movies. Sites tackling niches like Dracula and other old movies can use this kind of design. Nonetheless, it still receives my points for being unique and standing out.

It is important for webmasters to avoid coming across as merely sales pages that are after internet users’ money. While people log on the internet to make purchases, their mindset isn’t “to spend money” but to “find a product, service or information that will help make their lives easier or better”. It is important for internet marketers to realize this. Consequently website owners should their web pages in such a way that their offer meets a legitimate need or desire for their target market.
