Minimalist Web Design - Why Less Really Is More - by Barbara Logan

The saying that less is more has been applied to everything from art to advertising. When it comes to website design, it has never been truer than it is today.
With all the cutting-edge technology and so many fabulous graphics to choose from or create, designers often want to throw everything they can into a website design. The result, rather than impressive, is hectic. With no focal point or easy-to-use and locate navigation bar, the user becomes confused and is often unable to navigate the site easily or at all. They leave and the website owner loses not just a visitor, but likely a sale.
A minimalist website, on the other hand, offers users a website that’s easy to use and to navigate. With a well designed minimalist website, visitors can easily and quickly find exactly what they’re looking for. They don’t end up endlessly clicking to page after page, viewing information they can’t use or have already seen on the site. Finding a site like this is like find an oasis in the middle of the desert. Whew! What a relief!
Think of Google, for example. Simple, basic and extremely efficient. Could anything be easier to use? It’s the perfect example of just how effective website minimalism truly is.
While you probably don’t want a website that’s quite that bare, you do want a website design that is that simple and clean. Minimalist websites can be quite beautiful when designed well and exude class rather than scream too many messages. Great color and just enough graphics combined with the right amount of white space make a site less busy, making it simpler for a visitor to navigate. This is a refreshing and calming change for a web user, and makes a minimalist website one that they will appreciate and want to visit often.
Content on a minimalist website needs to be clear and concise too. While we’ve all heard that content is king, this doesn’t mean that there needs to be tons and tons of content, especially if it has little substance. Information that is easily accessed and precisely written is far more effective than having too much content to sift through to find necessary information.
Too many website designers, unfortunately, overlook this need for easy navigation. Trying to get around clunky navigation to find the information you want is a bit like being plopped down in a flea market where everything is jumbled together. Infant clothes tossed in with women’s clothes are then topped off with a stack of men’s shirts. The effort to get through it all to find what you’re looking for is exhausting and usually not worth the effort.
Minimal yet precise copy offers website visitors many benefits, primarily the advantage of being able to read on screen information without too many elements competing for their attention.
Finally, with technology making it possible to view the Internet on much smaller screens, minimalist website design is crucial. There just isn’t room on a cell phone or palm pilot screen to see a great deal. With each advance in technology, less really is more.

Make Money Online With Website Design - by Joel Teo

Website design is one of the fastest growing fields in the world today. With the new global economy, the Internet is the new marketplace, and a company’s website reflects on the company. With this in mind, a lot of people and businesses pay to have a website set up and designed professionally. No matter what business you are in, and how big or small it is, a website on the Internet will give you that edge. Making money online with website design can be a very profitable business.

If you already know how to build and design websites, then you have all of the necessary knowledge and skills needed to make money at it. It is a simple matter of marketing your services and getting projects to work on. There are a lot of websites that match service providers of freelance jobs with projects that meet their qualifications. Some of these sites charge a fee to join, but others allow for a percentage fee that is paid from each project that is offered and accepted. There are also some sites that allow for a membership on a monthly rate, and this amount may be very small, like ten or fifteen dollars. This is the best route to take, because the percentage fees can add up.

The amount of money that can be made from building and designing websites can be substantial. Many big businesses are willing to pay thousands of dollars or more for a professional website. Making money online with website design is an easy way to put your knowledge and talents to use and earn a nice income at the same time.

Whenever you freelance website design, always make sure that you use an escrow account. Many of the websites that match buyers and providers have this feature, and it offers a level of security for both parties in the deal. The buyer pays the money into the escrow account and does not release the funds until the project is completed to their satisfaction. The provider gets the security of knowing that the money is paid and can not be removed by the buyer, only by them when the project is done. A lot of problems will be avoided when you make money online with website design if you always insist on escrow payment.

To make money online with website design, honestly evaluate the skills you have and then find a market for them. This can be done by joining a freelance program or through marketing and advertising. Always make the buyer use escrow, as this feature protects both of you. Then get to work and start making money online with website design.
