Good design significantly increases the conversion rate. But what makes a good web design? What constitutes good and bad design is certainly subjective. Nevertheless, there are some generally valid principles, what constitutes good website design. In the following I go into it.

Standard store layout - clear user guidance

The path through the store, the customer journey Most web stores use a similar arrangement of standard elements. These standard elements are logos, logins, search bars, language selection, menus, navigation bars or breadcrumbs. If you also use these elements according to the de facto standard, your customers will find their way around your site faster.

Design your store with colors

Choosing colors in your store The right color combinations on your website will arouse the desired emotions in users. Harmonious colors invite to stay on the website. Color hierarchies provide clarity. They guide the eye to the products or call-to-action buttons. Use a primary color for the main element and secondary colors for highlights.

Use meaningful images in the store

Emotion sells Images appeal to users faster and more emotionally than text alone. If you want to appeal to emotions, use images of people. These work especially well.
