After all, websites aren\u2019t just for looking at; they are meant to serve a purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Most people will gladly use a visually unappealing site that does a good job of conveying information quickly over using a beautifully designed site that does not function well. The success of web design is measured in viewer traffic and sales, rather than how artistically unique it is. Here\u2019s a guide to making your site functional and therefore, successful.<\/p>\n<h2>#1: Consider Your Audience<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webdesignerdepot.com\/2011\/12\/designing-for-your-target-audience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16281 lazyload\" title=\"designing-for-your-target-audience\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/designing-for-your-target-audience1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"450\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 615px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 615\/450;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Designing for your target audience<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Before designing your site, consider who will be most likely to use it, and what they\u2019ll be looking for. If your site is informational, your audience will be looking for ways to get information fast. If it\u2019s an e-commerce site, products will need to be searchable and categorized logically. Whatever purpose your site serves, you should design the functionality accordingly.<\/p>\n<h2>#2: Make Clear What the User Should Do<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/2012\/what-is-information-architecture-30-epic-design-resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/best-information-architecture-user-experience-usability-design-resource-2012-600x280.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/280;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>What Is Information Architecture? 30+ Epic Design Resources<\/em><\/p>\n<p>People visiting websites don\u2019t want to spend time figuring out complex navigation systems. Use a clear structure, including visual cues indicating where they should start. For an online store, this could involve a visible search box, featured products, or a layout of options for the shopper to choose from. If the customer has to go through a complicated process to find what they\u2019re looking for, they\u2019ll look somewhere else.<\/p>\n<h2>#3: Keep It Simple<\/h2>\n<p>The easier it is for users to accomplish their goal in visiting your site, the better. Here are some ways to simplify your design:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use icons to guide the viewer\u2019s eye.<\/li>\n<li>Use white space to separate elements on the page. This will make it easier for the viewer to perceive information.<\/li>\n<li>Limit the user\u2019s options.<\/li>\n<li>Categorize products logically<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patagonia.com\/us\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-16284 lazyload\" title=\"patagonia-functional-web-design\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/patagonia-functional-web-design-680x531.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"531\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/531;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patagonia.com\/us\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Patagonia<\/a>\u2019s website is a great illustration of simplicity in limited options.
