Standardise the Web Designs!

Description: Web Designers have their own approaches in their designs. Regardless of the number of available design choices, sticking to the standard and conventional ways is still highly preferred and believed that bring about a lot of traffic and profits.

 

A user, who has been accustomed to the prevailing standards and conventions of web designs, assumes all other sites work the same way. Building a Web is not designing any more than like an anthill. Knowingly, users view the totality of the Web as integrated single resource. Hence, the Web designs build components of a whole and should be easy to use without deviating from the expected norms.  

 

There are the three levels for standardisations. These are the following:

THREE STANDARDISATION LEVELS

  1. Standard Level

Eighty percent or more of the available websites are using similar web design approach. The standard elements are expected by every user because that is how things are always working.

  1. Convention Level

Fifty percent to 79% use this conventional level of website designs. Designers share the same convention that elements of the Web pages are expected to work a certain way. Again, that is how stuff in the World Wide Web usually works.

  1. Confusion Level

Many Web designers experiment on different approaches for web designs. Using this level of standardisation on the designs, there’s no single design that dominates and the users do not know what to expect.

The sites that are often visited by the people are the sites with web design elements that stick to the basics in the user interface designs. These standardised elements include the following:

  1. Presence of logo in the Webpage’s upper left corner
  2. Presence of search box in the homepage
  3. Absence of splash page
  4. List  of horisontally arranged breadcrumbs

The Conventional Level, on the other hand, uses the following web design elements:

  1. Label site map
  2. Navigation assistance through the changing colour of visited links
  3. Shopping cart link found in the upper right corner of page

The Confusion Level has its website design elements that are done in a variety of ways without single dominating approach. Confusion comes in several areas like the placement of the search feature, and the presence of main navigation schemes amongst others. This level is not the usual preference of impatient Webpage visitors who are after the conventional ways or standard ways of using the navigator through the pages.

 

Confusing Web Designs should be eliminated. Anyway the goals of every Web designer are to attract, please and serve the needs of the Web visitors for the feeds of information. It is of greater advantage, if the designers are embracing the conventional or the greatly preferred realm of Web design. In this way, users are assured of what features to expect, how these features will appear in the interface, where to find these, how to operate them, and what the design elements mean.

 

Mastery over the web site and its web designs becomes possible for every website user. Moreover, getting things done in quickest and greatly satisfying way becomes easier and more feasible. More importantly the general satisfaction of the users with the experience is guaranteed.

 

Users are likely to leave the Webpage after a minute if the needs are unfulfilled. These Webpage visitors are not going to struggle with the web designs that use deviant user interface which structure of the pages for the products, workflow, and the architecture of the information are confusing and time consuming to be understood.
