Written on . Posted in Our Ideas.

 

It is a fact that everything about technology constantly changes and web design has no excuse. Like any other technological advancement, web design has also become unique and more experimental over the years.

Actually, this year is a bit overwhelming because we have so many web design trends to choose from. But, worry not! Because we have here some of the top web design trends that can help you improve your website’s look and feel for the better.

 

  • Flat design is out, geometric design is in
    geometry 2Let’s bid goodbye to those flat designs that have somewhat becoming unvarying. Today, make way for sharp, edgy, geometric designs and patterns for your website. The utilization of various shapes such as squares, hexagons, and rhombuses are all around the web these days. This approach gives certain class and branding that makes a website look distinctive from another.

    This is the now. Yes, motion graphics, GIFS, VRs, and videos are still the name of the game. People like to see moving objects online since it’s more interactive. And your website shall give what the people want to see. It’s a lot more complicated than flat images but the experience that it can offer is definitely one of a kind.

  • Uncomplicated menus for better navigation

    I guess this trend is the one that will become timeless. Who would like to see complicated menu bars, right? Your web visitors have their reasons on going to your website. It’s either to just check out your products or services or to contact you directly to get some answers. So, why complicate things if you can provide them the information they need from you through simple and uncomplicated navigation? Let your website be straightforward. Then you will get clear-cut leads, too.

 

  • Diverse typefaces

    In 2016, minimalist design is everywhere. That’s why you can see thin, simple, and minimalist typeface in all places. But, not for this year. Now, web designers are opting to use different typefaces to give flavor to a specific website. This approach jives to the geometrical patterns.

 

For some, web design is just a form of creating aesthetically pleasing websites.  But, it’s definitely more than that. The design of a website must provide specific function; a function that can give overall user experience to each web visitor, a function that can help you build a solid and successful online presence. And that is the role of the given web design trends mentioned above – to make sensible and functional web designs.

Keyboard Shortcuts That Will Get You through the “Hell Week”

Written on . Posted in Our Ideas.

 

The office is in silence while all heads are buried under piles of work. The only sound you can hear is the sound of their keyboards in sync with yours. There’s always a certain week in a month when all deadlines pile up like hell, and the only breather for all of you is taking a sip of your precious coffee. When suddenly, you accidentally close an important tab on your browser that you’re working on.

Disaster is screaming in your head! You’re pissed, and you’re tired even though the day is just starting. And the worst part is, you don’t know where to start. In emergency cases like this, you need a saving grace to make it through the day – and through the week. And what we had below, will definitely save your day, and will even help you beat the “hell week”.

  • In emergencies like what happened above, what you need to do first is to relax. Recovering the tab that you accidentally closed can be recovered by pressing CRTL + SHIFT + T (for Windows) COMMAND + SHIFT + T (for Mac). This will instantly reopen the tab that you closed. This is way better than redoing everything that you did on that tab. However, you just have to take note that this shortcut won’t work when you are in private browsing/incognito.
  • Remember the times when pressing the backward or forward button on your browser just to be on your desired page never fails to ruin your mood? Here is the antidote to your seemingly perpetual frustration: just press ALT + LEFT ARROW KEY to go back and ALT + RIGHT ARROW KEY to go forward.
  • Wanted to select multiple texts when editing a document? Just press SHIFT + LEFT OR RIGHT ARROW KEY. It is a little easier than hovering your mouse all over the document. And on the top of that, it is much precise than using the mouse.

  • Looking for an important file? Press WINDOWS KEY + E to open the file explorer real quick.
  • Wanting to format a phrase to all caps without retyping it? Just select that phrase and press SHIFT + F3. Hit SHIFT + F3 again and that phrase will be in caps and lowercase format. Do it the third time and it will go back to all lowercase format. Easy right?
  • Going on a bio break? Minimize all your open windows by pressing WINDOWS KEY + D. Then WINDOWS KEY + L to lock your computer. Just login afterward, and you can go back to these tabs – no problemo mi amigo!

***

We can all get through the hell weeks in our lives. There are only two things that will help us cope with all the demands and deadlines of the week: just relax and focus on the tasks at hand based on priorities, and these shortcut keys that will definitely save you time and effort. Happy weekend everyone!

Standard practices for effective CTAs

Written on . Posted in Our Ideas.

 

Briefly, a CTA (call-to-action) is a link or button often seen on websites, newsletters, blogs, emails, or any kind of content that persuades readers. The very reason why CTAs are created is to drive prospects into leads and to make those leads become conversions. But, how can you convert if your CTAs are not optimized enough, right? Through this blog, you can learn the little ways on how you can improve your CTAs to help you generate enough clicks that convert.

  • Make it aesthetically pleasing

CTAs are designed to catch some eyes. The proper use of colors, fonts, and even the size of the button itself are relevant. Try practicing the 80/20 rule in design: 80% white space, 20% text. Strain from putting up a text-heavy CTA because it will just sore the eyes of your readers, and your desired magical click will just go away. These simple factors must all jive with one another to produce a CTA that stands out from the rest of the page.

 

  • Hook people with compelling copy

The best companion of a well-designed CTA is an irresistible copy. Give people reason why they should hit that button. One of the best ways to do that is through your simple yet compelling CTA text. Why not put some sense of urgency or tickle people’s curiosity? Be it in a soft or aggressive way, it should all be brief but action-oriented.

 

  • Simplicity is the key

Though we have mentioned earlier that CTAs should look attractive, that does not mean you will over-decorate it. Just keep it simple, smooth looking, and readable enough to be noticed. You do not want to overwhelm your readers with different vibrant font types and too upbeat colors. Just one simple design will do – a design that will work as your universal CTA to be placed in the right positions where your readers will take necessary actions.

Following these tips gives you a chance to improve your CTAs, which is a big game-changer in this competitive digital world. Some of these may not work so well for you, yet some may provide considerable results like high conversion rates, for instance. Just remember to keep on experimenting and try out new practices such as this list. There’s no wrong in doing so. As long as it will lead you to your end goal, we suppose it’s all good.
