Web Design & Colouring References

What all important matter in making of website ? One of them is to chosen correct colour. Usage of colour in a website of vital importance. Because with usage of good colour and of course combined with the quality of content, you website will easy to to be read. Making everyone longer to see content of your website.

The colours should be ones that suit you, however suit the customer more. Reds, blues and orange/salmon and black on white have dramatic impact on how you perceive. For example, red has been used to demonstrate a call to action (for example, ‘buy’ can be placed within a red context because you wish the customer to ‘buy’ your product. You can place headlines in red; however, if you place the wrong headline in red, you won’t have buying customers. Red is a very powerful message marker. Use with caution.

Blue is used to have a calm experience. For example, some yoga and meditation websites will use blue to calm and red to entice their visitors to ‘buy’ their meditation services. Green also good for meditation websites. But I like to choose this color for my url texts. But in the future I have a planning to change that colour. Just don’t know when.

Some other sites have used orange/salmon to great effect. These colours can also entice visitors to find out more about your products and services as well as a combination of black and white text and background.

Traditional black on white background is still very useful. This is the basic colour scheme that we are all used to seeing and will also convey your message. What you can do is incorporate some of the other colours and see how they best suit your website and you business goals.

Colour enhances the images we see. When this is applied to website design it’s important to have your customer in mind. Determine which colour scheme works best for your website and continue to test. Once you’ve found a colour scheme that works, leave it. This will ensure your website business success.

You can refer to these designs and get inspirations. Take note of textures, fine details, use of colours.. and more. (*)
