Keep It Simple<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Too many boxes, colors, or fonts will scare off visitors. Making the layout simple enables users to focus on the essentials. Restrict the amount of colors and fonts to two or three, and use one strong font. Make use of white space to give space between things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Menus need to be available. Avoid hiding them behind buttons or animations. Clear design provides trust.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Use Consistent Fonts and Sizes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fonts should be readable. Serif fonts don&#8217;t really work; something like Arial, Roboto or Open Sans is better. Stick to one body font, one title font. Keep your site with similar font sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is harder to read when font size changes too often and the layout of your site seems cluttered.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Use-Consistent-Fonts-and-Sizes-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"Use Consistent Fonts and Sizes\" class=\"wp-image-4382 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Use-Consistent-Fonts-and-Sizes-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Use-Consistent-Fonts-and-Sizes-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Use-Consistent-Fonts-and-Sizes-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Use-Consistent-Fonts-and-Sizes-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Use-Consistent-Fonts-and-Sizes.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Make-Navigation-Simple-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"Make Navigation Simple\" class=\"wp-image-4388 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Make-Navigation-Simple-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Make-Navigation-Simple-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Make-Navigation-Simple-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Make-Navigation-Simple-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Make-Navigation-Simple.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Make Navigation Simple<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People must be able to locate what they are looking for in a few clicks at most. Menus need to use short, descriptive terms like &#8220;Home,&#8221; &#8220;Services,&#8221; and &#8220;Contact.&#8221; Too many options in drop down menus need to be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add a search box if your site contains five or more pages.

Mobile First Design<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A majority of the visitors browse on phones. Mobile-first design makes you concentrate on the important things. Buttons will need to be big enough to tap, no need to zoom text and pictures should be loaded promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t stack things in proximity to each other. Put your site through various screen sizes before going live.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Mobile-First-Design-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"Mobile First Design\" class=\"wp-image-4389 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Mobile-First-Design-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Mobile-First-Design-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Mobile-First-Design-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Mobile-First-Design-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Mobile-First-Design.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Use-High-Quality-Images-1024x1024.webp\" alt=\"Use High-Quality Images\" class=\"wp-image-4383 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Use-High-Quality-Images-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Use-High-Quality-Images-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Use-High-Quality-Images-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Use-High-Quality-Images-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.webdesigndiscovery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Use-High-Quality-Images.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.
