But with too many options to choose from, it is a challenging task to which one is really going to work and is worth considering. You need to narrow down your focus and for the same we have some important elements of modern web design which can be incorporated in a website to improve its performance.
Important modern website design elements:
- Unique and large typography: Most of the companies have a predefined font or typography. This particular font helps them to get identified by the customers and can be compared with the competitors. In recent years designers have got so many options to choose from. This makes the brands more comfortable as they get more means to express themselves in an easy and convenient way.

Web Design and development is that part of a business function that closely focuses and monitors the website starting from its beginning stage of hosting, to its development and finally, goes on to its designing followed by different testing techniques.
Web Designing and development is driven by two main principles:
- Establish a set of strategic organizing principles that focus on decision making, supporting and translating a non-profit’s organizational strategy into an online experience
- Prioritize cross-disciplinary collaboration and build a team culture together that leads to better choices, more efficient process, and more effective work.
To deliver the best results, below are mentioned some of the main Strategic Foundations of Effective Websites that builds essential elements of the brand strategy process into digital strategy and design. After all, branding is a translation of organizational strategy, and as I’ve stated, websites are critical to executing it.
So, briefly, how does each of the four core website strategies work together?
Brand Strategy
The brand is that part of the business that helps to make a people identify your business or the service through your website. Brand strategy workshops uncover critical insights and questions, identify organizational goals, and clarify what mission success looks like. Brand strategy is the first move that must be done on a primary basis. Then it is followed by, specific goals for content, design, and technology development are then contextualized for how they will support organizational strategy. To make your brand to get maximum awareness, the focus of every website must be on creating their pages and accounts on popular social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. This can really help your website gain maximum attention for your products and services.
Content Strategy
Developing fresh and newer content for the readers may be the hardest part of most website engagements especially when it comes to content-heavy websites. Content strategy makes this tiring process easier by answering questions like “What content do we have?”, “How good is it?”, “What should be the content title?” and “How will new content be produced?” etc. But because content development will likely happen throughout the design process, it is much necessary to make sure what we are writing and will it impact the lives of readers. To make sure that the website is leading, the content must be informational rather than promotional. It should have some sort of spice to make your readers get addicted to reading your new contents.
Technology Strategy
Online, it’s up to hardware, coding languages, programming and syntax to express the special feel of the websites. Websites are connected to the business systems that are needed to make websites run smoothly. Start with:
- Core installation of the right CMS tools like WordPress, Joomla, etc. to meet yours as well as website needs,
- Get actively engaged with the web development team throughout the design process of your website.
- It is critical to making sure that the budget doesn’t get exhausted.
- Web development is driven by design, and thus should not be taken lightly.
Design Strategy
The web designing is the last part of all the strategies which specifies the layouts Designs that can help to make you make a visit, a customer in future. Building design strategies can really help in giving justice to our ideas, words, and coding. The design must be updated on a regular basis by everyone on the team to make sure that the website helping the business in achieving the strategic goals.

Briefing it up:
GITEX has come up with a great initiative to provide information related to the major technologies evolving and thus created awareness to the mass related to such topics.

Web-Scale Networking is a concept that has been made popular by big companies like Google, Facebook, and Netflix. This model is adopted by these companies as it has proven on the grounds of cost economics, reliability, adaptability, and better performance for these large companies.
Web-Scale Networking Explained
Web-scale networking is a modern approach to cloud-based computing infrastructure. The components are taken from the basic requirements that large data center operators make use to build smart and efficient networking. Businesses can design it’s cost-effective, agile and reliable networks in this modern era by following these three elements:
- Open and modular
- Intelligence in software
- Scalable and efficient
These three basic elements essentially comprise the web-scale networking system!
While the cloud computing has advanced and there is a quantum change with the convergence to private, public and hybrid clouds, traditional based networking has notoriously lagged far behind. An open or a cloud networking theory brings traditional networking up to par with the advanced web-based approach. Open, web-scale networking provides automation, accuracy, and cost-savings to the data center.
Challenges faced during Implementation.
Big benefits come with big challenges and considerations.
Firstly, the skill required to implement web-scale architecture is enormous. CSP (Content Security Policy) has spent many years experimenting and developing their technology, hosting platforms and add-on services. They have the privilege of focusing only on developing these things. Amazon Web Services offers a collection of over 100 tools that focus completely on the competency.
Meanwhile, at the enterprise level, the IT professionals are still overloaded with the desk request, for the maintenance of a web-scale implementation. On top of that, investing on web-scale need high amount of monetary requirements and most businesses today are focused on maintaining cost efficiency. That means your existing IT infrastructure is more than likely extremely interconnected.
The main thing is, it’s impossible to have an IT team who is responsible for running applications that are critical to the business and taking care of such a platform. You need dedicated developers and technicians taking care of your platform, which requires time, skill and monetary resources that most businesses just don’t have.
Benefits of Web-Scale Networking
- More Accessible as everything is automated
Web-scale networking allows the organizations to choose ideal hardware and software for their budget and needs. One can either use existing automation software or integrate something new with the existing network. Due to open networking, it’s very easy to standardize the protocols, identify major issues and create effective communication. It makes the working of the hosting and web development companies much easier and less complicated.
- No more interference of vendor
Have you ever fallen into a situation where you wanted to upgrade components of your network to another vendor’s product, but refuse because of the high both cost and risk. Most of the organizations have faced the problem of vendor pressure because it is really very costly to switch the systems as well as the vendors. Web-scale networking is more flexible and it allows you to choose the network switches, cables, optics fibers, applications and much more depending upon your needs and budget.
By unifying the stack, and making hardware customization and software automation, the organizations can make processes run smoothly. Identification and fixing the issues become quicker for the technicians. Organizations can multiply a number of switches managed per operator. All of these benefits lead to better development, higher efficiency, and lower expense.
Briefing it up:
Finally, the web-scale computing is fundamentally very easy to change, but requires significant IT personnel and financial investment from enterprises and the web development, designing and hosting companies. It’s expected that the majority of companies will make a transition to this strategy in the near future.
Mobile phones, social media platforms, emails have changed way too far on how we communicate with each other. Technology has made our lives much easier and faster at the same time, but it also has created a different new ways in order to unintentionally irritate or insult. Following this policy, London based company Moo is making their sales double by following the etiquettes that has a wide importance.
Hence, before you make use of these mediums, consider these etiquette tips for a better digital age:
The Golden Rule
Most of the people surf Facebook, Twitter or Instagram just to get some news updates or feeds from the friends and families, or their personal interests. You might also be probably chatting, sharing stories directly with your friends and family or commenting on the blogs or post updates. There is a fair chance of meeting someone whom you really don’t know. Then the communication continues in a healthy manner without disturbing each other sentiments or any sort of vulgarity.
It is very easy for you to land him in the trap of dangerous territory by offending someone on these social media whom you don’t really know. It’s very easy to forget that there is a person behind who is posting their opinion through a blog, or commenting on a news feed. Before you try to type out a scathing retort or insulting someone else’s views, take a moment to reconsider speaking those words to the same person if he is standing in front of you. Always treat others with kindness and respect, the same way you want to be treated, whenever you are communicating online.
Thus read everything that you have written a couple of times before clicking the “post” button. Because, once it’s posted, it’s nearly impossible to take back the words, so be nice and kind.
E-mail Etiquette
We’ve all might have received one email from a co-worker who has listed everyone in the ‘To’ column. Don’t be the person who has the habit to click “reply to all” and spamming with multiple replies. When you are communicating between two or three friends, who are planning for a surprise party or event, probably “reply to all” option is fine. But if there are more than five recipients, then your reply-to-all can be a irritating for the recipients. Therefore Click on “reply” instead to make your message available only to the sender.
Texting Etiquette
Group texting works the same way like that of email. Communicating with a large number of people at one time is great. But avoid using group text for mass communication. Even, I was a prey in such a situation when a text message from whatsapp was repeatedly being forwarded to me on my personal chats. The amount of notifications that I received, made me feel disgusted. So think what others might feel if you do such an activity.
Avoid Capitalisting Your Words
First time when I started communicating in social media, I thus had no idea that caps lock is used to emphasize a word. In other words it meant that I was shouting at my friends.
OOPS!!!
We all might have received one or more messages from someone whose caps lock seems to be permanently in the ON position. If you’re typing a message, and suddenly look up to realize that your CAPS LOCK KEY is switched ON, then the polite thing to do is to re-type your message again in a normal way. If you notice it before, then please don’t click on “send” anyway. Your friend will have an assumption that you’re screaming at him, and that’s the most undesirable moment for everyone.
Emojis and texting abbreviations
You might be very much aware of the abbreviations that are very much used by many like LOL, ROFL, ASAP etc. But on a professional front, it is advisable, not to make use of these abbreviations. This can make your boss feel offended and therefore create a trouble for you in future. So avoid such non-sense in all professional text and email interactions.
Making someone understand through a written medium like text or email can be bit tricky. Using emoji and abbreviations can help to know the meaning of the message much faster. But it’s always better if you use such things in appropriate places.
Respect the online privacy of others
Smartphones and social media has encouraged a 24/7 documentation of our daily life. You might be having fun with your buddies so you click a picture, post it to Facebook, and tag everyone you know.
We all have done it perhaps!
Yet, according to a study more than 60% of Facebook users strongly dislike such behavior when people post their pictures without first asking their permission and thereby tagging them. It’s the best policy to respect your friends’ online privacy the next time you are tagging their picture.
Briefing It Up:
Now, every time you are going socially active, try to follow the steps that can really help you out from being anti-social. Even for any company or small business, social media etiquettes applies the same and thus the sharing of the content should be done by keeping the above points in mind for a healthy image of the website and will not put the work done by web designers and developers in website designing a futile attempt.
The main goal behind the activity of web design and development is basically the same. To make this possible it is essential that the process has to be laid out in a proper and efficient way as both the elements are considered as the backbone of every online operation. When we do web designing and development, we should make sure that our website is able to grab the attraction of its viewers to the maximum. It thereby requires a lot of smart as well as hard work to make it possible.
Below are the steps to make the mission of a website successful.
- STEP – 1 Collect Information:
It is very much important to make sure about the real motto of designing of your own website. We should also be aware of the business we are into. There are various purposes that we can achieve through our own website. Thus to make this happen, we must enough information regarding the business, its goals, its plans, its strategies etc. so as to design and develop a website for the business. The information can also be collected from the other sources like the competitors’ website and thus create something unique from such data.
After the collection of information, we arrive at the most important stage that is the Planning Stage. Various options of technology that is available in website design and development must be considered by the team. During the planning stage, the sitemap of the website must be created which allow us to list all the main topics that must be made available through our website. The outlines of basic features can be showcased effectively by its user interface.
The design process is an important step in our website development and it is the primary aspect to look out for. The look and feel of our website can be made appealing through our effective website design. We should never forget to remember our target audience and should proceed in a planned way through our design works.
For example, if we are planning a website that would target general mass, then we should make sure that we keep the teenagers and adults in our mind. Title and the images deployed must be catchy enough. But at the same time, it should be acceptable for the adults.
The designers could have their own set of ideas based on the past experiences, but they should be carefully synchronized with the original ideas. In such a case, website owners and web developers should stand on a common ground. Exchange of ideas is much necessary and is inevitable.
Content writing and compiling stage overlaps the other stages of website development. The role of the content writing cannot be underestimated. At this step, it is necessary to deliver the essence to the audience with the help of a genuine and fresh content. Content writing involves creating eye-catchy headlines, titles, text editing, writing new text, compiling the existing text, etc. This process takes time and effort, but it’s really worth it. As per the plan, it is better when the website content is provided to the developer before or during website coding.
At this step, you a developer can finally start creating the website and give it a shape. Graphic design of the website has to be laid down with the help of a trained expert that will help to make a website look distinct and can grab the attention of the viewers.
Usually, the home page is the page that is created first. Then all sub-pages are added subsequently according to the website hierarchy that was previously mentioned in the sitemap. Frameworks and CMS should be implemented at the right time to make sure that it is server safe and friendly.
When you use CMS like WordPress for the creation of a site, you can also install the plugins if there is is a specific need for deploying the contact us page form or the social networking buttons.
The other important step is SEO (Search Engine Optimization). it is the optimisation of website using the elements like title, description, keyword that can help your site achieve higher rankings in the search engines. Thus a valid code is pretty important for SEO.
- STEP – 6 Testing, Review and Launch
Testing is the routine part of such process. Every link that are being hyperlinked should be tested to make sure that there are no broken links among them. You should check every script, contents, run a spell-checking and grammar review software to find possible errors.
After you thoroughly check and re-check your website, it’s time to upload the website content to a server. After you deployed the files, you should run yet another, a final test called proof checking to be sure that all the files and functions have been installed correctly.
- STEP – 7 Maintenance and Support
It is important to remember that, a website is more a service than a product. It’s not enough to “deliver” a website to a user at one go. You should also make sure that everything works exactly the way it was expected and everybody everyone is satisfied.
Feedback system must be added to the site to allow you to detect possible problems that are being faced by the audience. The highest priority task, in this case, is to solve the problem at the earliest. If you fail to do that, then you may find that your users would prefer to use our competitors’ website. The last important thing is to keep your website updated. If you use a CMS platform, regular updates will keep your website away from bugs and decrease security risks.
Briefing it Up
Web development is the important part in the creation a beautiful website. Thus to make this possible it is essential to follow the steps mentioned above and thus give your website a new look and feel.
