It was tough but I fit 10 years of web design expertise in a 7 minute video. Turns out you know just about everything you need to know about designing websites with three core principles: layout, color, and typography.
I talk about the importance of visual hierarchy over the outdated F-pattern, show you the 60-30-10 rule for picking color palettes, and highlight the significance of readability in typography. We also provide insights into good conversion practices that go beyond aesthetics to drive user engagement and sales. Stay updated with the ever-evolving web design industry and find out how continuous learning can keep you ahead of the game. Listen now to level up your web design skills.
