Three Approaches That Can Land Web Designers More Business

Web design market is a competitive business and it is emerging as other top web markets of the world. Thousands of web design agencies are working and supporting the growing needs of local as well as international market. However, freelance web designers are trying they're hard to get more clients and also to retain existing ones. Here are three successful approaches that can help web designers in landing more business.

Dubai web design agency

Turn Your Clients into Cheerleaders


Do you know that your existing clients can act as your marketers, so ask them for a good testimonial? After finishing your job for the client, ensuring that you have delivered the best product and earn the loyalty of your customer, ask them for a good testimonial. There are many clients who visit your website and write one without asking, but what about those who simply forget doing such an important thing for you, so instead letting them go ask them about.

These testimonials can do wonders for your business as they will make your business:

  • More legitimate, because finally it is successful in delivering the desired results and in a given time frame, people are happy with your services.
  • More loyal, by offering timeless services it will help a business in earning the loyalty of a customer for a lifetime.
  • Many companies/ business owners look into testimonial section for better references and if your website owns some wonderful and authentic comments from your customers they will become a great source of authentic references.

Adding these testimonials to your website or portfolio can increase the weight of it and can help you in winning a client instantly. Imagine a top ranked business wrote some good words about your work, isn’t it enough for a great reference to hiring your services. Yes, this is, so don't worry about those clients who do not want to visit your website for writing one testimonial, ask their feelings or let them write something about you on a piece of paper (business card, notepad etc.). And after that publish their words with their names on your website, this will work too.

Invest In Your Image


In the last few years, I have not come closer to freelancers who do not have their portfolio or a website where I can see their work and the quality of it. Always remember, this is as important as having a business, so invest in building your image. There are plenty of good things that can knock on your doors if you have an innovative website to showcase your work on the internet. Especially freelancers, who does not bother much about this must undergo a thorough research of their work and publish it to build an integral business identity. This will not only help them in getting new customers, but old customers can get to know about them.

Don't Re-Invent the Wheel

Don’t re-invent the wheel because the world is fast and you have to win the race. Remember, there was a time when we have to build a website from scratch, but not anymore as there are tools such as CMS available to help you do your job, use them and be efficient and quick in accomplishing your tasks.

The grand shift in the history of HTTP

After 16 years of thorough practice, this year HTTP will take a great step towards becoming a great reality as this year it will become officially finalized and move towards standardization.

HTTP/ 2 is a huge deal and everything, this will be finalized and ready to launch as it is now editorial processes before getting published.

What is HTTP/2:


HTTP/2 is a huge deal; it’s the next big version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, marking the largest change since 1999 when HTTP 1.1 was launched and adopted. This standard brings great number of benefits to one of the leading technology of web’s core technology, such as longer-lived connections, faster page loads more items arriving sooner and server push.

Here are some great and important design trends which will help web design agencies to design great websites in 2015.

Long scrolling websites:


It is becoming a noticeable trend that websites now days are becoming longer when they are scrolling through the page. With time, the dominance of mobile device is forcing this trend to be practiced more and more because many people like to stay on one page and just want to scroll down rather shifting the pages using content links. Moreover, not only home pages can be linked with scrolling there are other options that can be used for this purpose. These hello-world long scrolling one page websites have lots of benefits for when implemented on other pages such as “About us” and even those product pages on e-commerce websites (where a lot of content needs to be displayed). Apple took this trend to the next level by using long scrolling pages for iPhone 6 showcasing all related products using some animations – this has made a powerful impact on UI design and customer loved it.

Storytelling and interactions:


Content is king, but what if it is not placed correctly and is not relevant to the theme of a website – it will be a huge distraction and obviously turn down the whole project. However, in 2015 content will be used as a story and portray in a story telling manner to keep things highly effective and attractive for customers. For example, a famous space needle website beautifully tells the facts of the space using content and images in a story from so that user can easily interact with the website and understand the message, and it is not boring.

This also shows us that this year websites are becoming more interactive and animated and content is used to do such things (one-liner can also display the right message) that is why now web design agencies in Dubai is working in the market of Dubai using such techniques as they have to deal with multi-cultural market.

With the launch of HTTP/2, many web design analysts are expecting a complete transformation of web design and how websites will interact with customers and other stakeholders. Many of us are seeing the powerful dominance of web design on traditional e-commerce market.

2015: Rise of User Centric Web Design Trends

Abu Dhabi web design market is growing with the impelling speed of creativity; web designers are putting their best effort to create more user centric designs in the year 2015.

Abu Dhabi web design

One right image can change everything:


There is a famous believes that “a picture is worth a thousand words” and it will last forever in the web design industry. This trend will grow in the year 2015 too – people will see larger images, on the first page of the website. However, the image is preferably being crafted with a pull of resolutions and pixels, the image is designed to stop at the breakpoint. The purpose of image break is to allow the user to see the content of the website rather keep appearing on the screen. However, there are many people who are feeling a great difference when they shift from Windows 8 to 8.1. To avoid such issues in UI web design, it is recommended to add “FLAT DESIGN”, though this year lot of work is expected to be done on them. FLAT DESIGN elements are a must have elements to avoid any issue in the design this year.

HTML5 videos will be everywhere:


Videos a preferred choice of leading marketing design agencies in Abu Dhabi, but in 2015, web design will also optimize its efficiency with the help of creative videos. However, in website development HTML5 will lead the league and would be used for video making in 2015. There are many methods which can be used to embed creative videos (generally relevant to creating stuff related to website niche). However, there are many websites offering videos, but a website designer must keep the theme of the website in mind.

It is observed that user love videos which are easy to access and fast playing, that is why only adds videos in your website which have these characteristics. In 2015 expectations are quite high and it is becoming difficult to manage for website designers.

Responsive web design will lead:


Traditional computers will be replaced with plenty of mobile devices in 2015 – so if your user cannot browse your website on your device, he/she will not come back to you. Web designers must take care of browser compatibility – however, a solution is formed to deal with these issues and that is “Responsive design”. It allows a specific website to detect the screen size it is being browsed, and automatically adjust the content of the website to the screen size. The purpose of responsive design is to offer the best user experience without compromising the quality of a website.

A good web design ensures that the website must be dynamic enough to offer efficiency, and interesting enough to keep the visitor for long. It is the prime source of the business community to hold on a large community of customers.

Web Design, Five Gifted Elements of 2014

Quirky videos:


Expectation levels from customers change with the passage of time, so does the trends for the website design in Dubai markets, people want more interactive and quick way to get the desired information and what else can serve them better than a perfectly crafted video. However, it was a time when the only way to add a video on a web was to embed an FLV video, but thanks to HTML 5 and emerging JavaScript libraries ¬– now we can easily add informative videos on our website. It is true that web designers may seek refuge in flash videos, but I see more focus on HTML5 for making informative videos. I found two highly important scripts in HTML5 that can serve the design with better videos – and they are Video.js and MediaElements.js.

The benefit of using MediaElements.js is that it is available with some default skins and greater documentation for building a customized player design. The script also helps in building a music/audio player, as they provide documentation with an API and surely can use your self-hosted videos on any web project.


Flat Design Element:


Modern web design is incomplete without the use of “FLAT UI elements”, so how I can skip the most important element of web design especially when talking about the five gifted elements. With the help of CSS3 designers can design many flat buttons using natural box shadows, rounded corners or text shadows. However, the future is really bright because we are looking forward to seeing Flat icon sets and modified GUI kits for free on dozens of websites.

Website Design Dubai

Personal Portraits:


Portfolio websites a survival guide of a web designer, a handy resume or a valuable asset of a designer, developer or even for a company. However, my all-time favorites are simple portfolio as they can help you in showcasing your work or services. Add a personal touch in it by adding your picture, because people like more of a genuine thing. Moreover, it looks personal and fantastic in a portfolio and gives it a traditional poster like a feel.

A Unique web copy:


“Front face declaration” is one of the coolest new features in web development and design. This allows you to import files hosted locally or externally on another server. These fonts are usually defined within CSS and they can be written into front-family properties to style any web page according to needs. But, these icons are not well designed like regular graphics, but they offer functionality which is comprehensive and simple. However, web designers can add a lot of colors and can easily customized to make a web page stand out the most.

Fast Loading Animations:


Many websites (especially using Word-Press themes from Theme-Forest) where some elements were animated, but they only animate when you scroll them into view. These elements actually work like lazy-loading images which obviously not a good design idea that is why they should be avoided. To create fast loaded animations, combine JavaScript with CSS3 transitions or even JavaScript to animate different elements.

The Three Top Trends in UX Design

The web design agency Dubai is changing with a blink of the eye, making it difficult for people to even follow them. In fact, there is a need of great research to distinguish between the ongoing trends most web design agencies are following and what they must follow to attract more customers. The web design domain is continuously changing from W3C specifications to modern web browsers, who have thoroughly changed the designed web.

Here are the top five web design trends which are expected to get a rise in coming years; it is possible that many of you have already seen them implemented. Here is the detailed analysis of UI/UX trends in action.

web design agency Dubai

1. Grid-Style Layouts


Pinterest, a perfect example of grid-style layouts, which obviously has its own kind of fan following. It is true that most social media websites follow a traditional streamline patterns such as Tumbler or Twitter. However, the Giant sites are now adopting this grid style, such as Facebook pages are scattering most timeline updates in grid form.

However, following grid-style cannot be forced in old websites. There must be a purpose and that is the “user experience always comes first”. The benefit of grid is it will portray images to text into simple easy-to-read format. Grid layout put things in a perfect coherence and does not require much of space from the web page.

2. Crafty Image Captions


How we can forget the uniquely created CSS3 image caption effects. Many image galleries are focusing on portfolio items, article thumbnails, photographs etc. most of the time a text caption is inserted as it helps the visitor to connect more information to the image (while in CSS3 it is obvious to rely on the natural competence of browsers). However, it is really important for a website to craft images to provide benefit to the reader. There are different online handy tools which are offering web designers to design crafty images and more interesting thing is that many web design agencies are also benefiting from such tools.

3. Extended Form Elements


jQuery is one of the most commonly used design tool in front-end development as it helps to write smoother JavaScript code with fewer lines and tidily. There are many free open source jQuery plug-ins which are getting their prominence among web design agencies working for Dubai market. The most incredible benefit of jQuery plug-in is that they enhance the user experience. These plugins usually have floating labels, guided tooltips and input validation hence, almost everything a design agency can imagine.

Almost every leading website is relying on jQuery plugins to design attractive interfaces offering great user experience.

There are continuously changing trends which are observed in design agencies of Dubai as they are dealing with highly competent market of the world. An urge to win the battle is forcing them to focus more “what users are looking on the website”.

The Latest Trend in Web Design and SEO

Technology is advancing with “Jet speed” and so do SEO best practices as they have to go hand in hand. Now web design companies have flexibility in tools and technology and they are incorporating them well to create a good end product. Many companies are incorporating best SEO practices along with the latest design techniques in order to achieve business goals.

I am going to share some of the top SEO considerations related to some latest web design trends in Abu Dhabi including parallax, HTML5, and responsive design. However, like many SEO professionals I am in favor of all three design practices by keeping the site structure and accessibility as primary SEO concerns.

Most people know that designing with the end user in mind also helps improve SEO rankings. There are technical reasons why this is the case and why it’s of paramount importance to design with the user in mind. This article focuses on this concept in more detail, and I provide actionable next steps for SEO professionals to consider when thinking about website interaction and user experience design.

Website Design Trends and their influence on SEO


Parallax design:


Parallax design focuses on designing a page in a way like a web design trends where content is placed at the finger tip of consumer and the whole content is placed in a story telling process. However, this type of design usually needs a lot of improvements in conversion rate, but some of the few designed are great; in fact, I had learned it through Janet Driscoll Miller’s post. He explained that how this design makes things easier for the user, but it may be a difficult thing for SEO perspective.

Storytelling type content usually placed on one single page, which is good for the user, but for an SEO expert it is really difficult to place different SEO terms on one single page. That is why I usually say they this is a good design, even it offers limited flexibility to SEO professional, but still allow a web designer to create marvelous looking web pages.

That is why many web design companies are using this approach and I really appreciate their work. But to enhance user experience as well as your Search Engine ranking use a mix of parallax design pages and regular web design.

Responsive design:


Responsive design is Google’s recommended method of designing a website as it will allow a design to fit in any kind of screen size. There are tremendous user experience and benefits that have been offered to a user as well as companies when they adopt the design technique. That is the reason as many as possible web design companies in Abu Dhabi are opting for this design methodology.

In addition to the user experience, it offers many benefits to the SEO of a website or webpage such as it does not dilute the link equity. In detail, responsive design will give you the same URL for both your mobile website as well as your desktop website.

Why we Need Web Designer with SEO Knowledge

“Why website design is now getting linked with SEO” OR “why companies operating in Dubai are looking for web designers Dubai  having great SEO knowledge”.

With the increasing competition and growing need of adverse techniques, now companies are realizing the great importance of combined efforts of search engine optimizers as well as graphic designers. Companies understand that they are valuable to each other and also valuable to the company. However, there are teams of web developers and web designers who still add “SEO” in grey jobs – at the same time there are many SEO professionals who have no clue about web design.

The Benefit of SEO Based Web Design Dubai:


Have you ever gone through a web site which is excellent in design and available to grab your attention too long and sometimes force you to come again? These are websites which are based on comprehensive SEO practices, their design is comprehensive (HTML and source code is search engine as well as user-friendly), ever wondered why? Because these companies have successfully combined SEO techniques and web designs and they probably have in-house SEO professionals and web designers working in one team.

There are a number of benefits of adding SEO engineers in web design and development team such as:
  • The company can achieve the highest standard of website design catering to the growing needs of Dubai market.
  • They can add the most complicated web tools yet can keep everything in perfect alignment.
  •  They can satisfy the crawling bug of search engines without compromising the trust of their customers because of adding all the genes of SEO-formatted code in their web design.
  • Search engines like Google rank the website good and possibly take it on its first search engine page.
So, what else a corporate website wants to achieve, a good ranking in internet and growing number of reliable customers.

How SEO Based Design Can Boost Usability?

What is SEO, I would say putting your web page or website in the highest trust able list of search engine. And usually search engine optimizers have a prime focus of achieving good ranking and they mostly compromise the efficiency of it.

Do ads block your way around the website? Have you cloaked any links or text? Is the navigation simple and clear? And most importantly, can you get to read the content immediately or do you have to scroll through a maze before getting to the meat of your site?

We all know that hardcore SEO techniques cannot work well (usually fall under grey activities) that is why they decrease the practicality of website. And if we put designers on the preference they will design a very attractive website which is appealing, but fail to deliver the desired business goals.

While if design and SEO team work together they can design a website which is effective and cater to diverse needs of Search Engines and users.

So, in website design usability is very very important and to make a website really usable it is important to build a team of professionals who know web design paradigms, as well as SEO techniques.

Three Common Misconceptions of Web Design

Misconception 1:


The first misconception most web design agencies in Dubai have is “opening up external links in a new tab will keep people on our website”.

Why it is still popular misconception would be discussed here in this article.

The first thing is that most users dislike this stuff. Shifting your user on to a new tab will give an impression of taking control of their browser and saying them, “ I know better than you”, a simple annoying stuff. In fact, the user will become frustrated especially when there is no effective back button because the user is in a new tab and they simply do not like that.

However, this “opening up a new tab” became widespread when people were forced to open a new window, but now where many advancements in UX has been made, I personally do not consider it an important move. Moreover, many UX movement supporters argue in favor of this statement.

I will take, “opening up a new tab and opening up a new window” are one of the same things, and it has a deep meaning of lack of trust at the end user. In fact, I am not alone in this statement, but Jacob Nielsen also talk that multiple tab opening will lead to “frequent context switches” which means the user will lose its focus and there are higher chances that they would not like to make a comeback. So, it is a recommendation for many web design agencies in Dubai to stop using an annoying move in their web design.

Misconception 2:


We always need a splash page to make our web design pop out.

The second misconception followed by many web design companies is that we need a splash page to attract our user.

Well, this is really a surprise to see that this web design misconception still exists. The evidence is really clear and that is that adding a splash page will act as a distractor and mostly considered as a massive drop in a number of audiences.

It will increase the bounce rate as people do not have much time about such things and that is why they probably want to skip such kind of pages. However, I did not mean that a landing page cannot be effective, but yes if it has lot of craft and less information then there are higher chances that you will miss your user for their second visit.

Misconception 3:


We need lot of text for better Search Engine Optimization.

Sites should have a lot of text that includes keywords, so that they show up high in the Google rankings.

Well, honestly a more subtle misconception that exist in many web design agencies in Dubai. Good SEO is always about the content which is related to a theme of the website rather just any content. A good web design agency must understand this and that is why it is recommended that we need only relevant content.

How to Select Right Color Palette for Dubai Web Design

Importance of colors


According to studies, every color has its unique influence on human mind. Colors can express important information in a better way that is why they must be used carefully. They can set a desired mood; can attract individuals when used in a better way. Colors can be used to distinguish and highlight messages and different sections. So all these benefits make colors a wonderful tool to create innovative designs.

Like other tools, colors must be used with care and according to latest Dubai web design.

How to incorporate colors in your web design?


A website is a perfect blend of balanced color palette that is vital for a successful Dubai web design. Colors are representative of your business personality so they must match the pace. Web designer must focus in picking up right color hues to ensure web design does not look over done or under done.

Usually vibrant colors are used to highlight a specific area. Different color patterns can over-do Dubai web design so it is better to avoid.

Where to use colors?


According to new Dubai web design trends, neutral or light shades such as white, light grey or blue are used in the background. The same color pattern is used to highlight important content. All top rated websites such as Facebook, Twitter are using blue palette.

We all know that a website is your business identity on the internet. Everything incorporated in Dubai web design is to facilitate the customer so know who your target audience is and then select colors and design. For instance, you are in love with black and white hue, but a 15 year old boy may find this combination boring. Colors can communicate with the audience in an indirect method that is why it is recommended to count all effecting factors before selecting a color palette.

Dubai web design is considered incomplete if right color therapy is not applied so ask your web designer to choose a color palette that can suit your business needs.

How Professional Web Designers are better than Free Templates

There are many people especially from business community ask…why hire a professional web design company especially when we are having many free resources providing us hosting, web templates/blogs and everything we need to develop our websites. Or these services are also available on a fraction of the cost that is why many cannot understand why they should pay a lot.

What we need to develop a good website?


We all know that making a great website is much more than just coding HTML. You need to be having certain elements to present your ideas successfully and also should have knowledge about the idea and how to implement it. Ignorance can be bliss for the one who may write the web content, but not for the one who visits it. Which means if your website design looks unprofessional, so will your reputation.

Why a professional design?


A good website design can change your flexibility – it’s about relinquishing pixel perfect control of a design’s appearance & concentrating instead in functionality. So it is really important for the person who is designing and developing the website to focus on its design as well as on its functionality.

How the user gets around the site, how they find the thing they are looking for and also how they can share their feedback.

Custom Content Development:


It is true that many people have access to free website designing and development sources and they are using them to create website for Abu Dhabi market, but do you know that they are lacking in quality, why?

Because every website is a different representation of different business or ideas that is it is really vital that website content must be developed according to the idea. While in case of free websites it is not possible, professionalism lacks and they fail in attracting the visitor. Use of generic templates forms obviously not work for your specific needs as every company has their own goals, products, identity, size and service.

In contrast to that design philosophy at leading software companies is to work with each client focusing on their end goals, services and products. For that purpose they create a unique design and efficient website that offers its customer unique experience, the one we expect from the internet.

WHAT NEXT if you have a professional website?


So, what you actually want from your business website, “lots of sales”, and what if your free template could not work in that way, “how it will be a good investment”. In any case, a free template cannot serve you better, but a professional web design company can. Web Design Company working for Abu Dhabi business market understands that a professional design is directly proportional to the success of a business.

A unique and fully dedicated web design can offer a complete solution to a business or enterprise.

The Evolution Of Dubai Web Design

Web design trends are like photos in fashion magazines, they change in days and especially If we are discussing Dubai market. The competent Dubai web design agency is flexible enough to adapt fast changing web design trends, thus it is vital for designers to have appropriate knowledge of current design trends. 

 

Trends we would like to see LESS of:


1.    UNNECCESSARY SCROLLING


Most of the time we like to scroll around to see “what is inside” and mostly we like scrolling. But sometimes web developers overwhelmed and use unbelievable scrolling effects, so the process loses its practical sense or slow down the user. And this is just not acceptable, especially when everything is so focused around quick content consumption that is why it is advised to avoid unnecessary scrolling.

 

2.    ALWAYS RESPONSIVE


Responsive Design is taking over the web design industry, simply it is a general tendency to have a website responsive across all mobiles, tablets and desktop devices. However, I am not trying to convince you that responsive design is a dreck, in fact, it is a must have for almost every website. But this one reality is not true for many successful websites; in fact, they are not responsive at all and still are very productive. The reason behind such ignorance of trend is that they just do not need a responsive design. 

Does your websites are loaded with heavy background images, or flash animation or dynamic content? Then it is better to divert them to the mobile version of a website or if your website is less complex you can stay away from responsive design. 

 

3.    BROWSER COMPATIBILITY


Unlike a common believe your website doesn’t need to work in all browser versions (Safar, Firefox, Android and so on). It is better to check on Google analytics, which browser is most liked by your client and you can simply develop for such browser only. It will give you more time to focus on your website development and help you in saving some dollars.

 

4.    CAPTCHA FORMS:


“Re-enter the Code”, I hope that 2014 will become the last year of verifications of us through Captcha process ¬– we all know that we are not bots and it should be understood by leading websites too. We want some other plugins to spot spammers, but guys say no to Captcha verifications. Another thing most of us do not want to see is the boxes outside the forms, especially when there is enough space need to be filled. So, it is better to not interrupt the conversation and put superfluous barriers between people and their goals.

 

5.    FLASH WEBSITES AND INTROS:


Flash animations, a good old way to ruin your website, we all understand that their era is ending now. We hope that 2014 will let them RIP at last.

However, there are many other trends we would like to see less of includes content overdose, overly hero image installation, auto-play videos, popups, advertising sidebars and “hello world” blog post.
