10 Rock Solid Website Layout Examples
Layout can both be one of the easiest and one of the trickiest facets of web design. Sometimes a designer can bust out an amazing layout in minutes and sometimes that same designer can struggle for the better part of day with the same task.
Each project is unique and calls for a unique solution, but I've found it helpful to keep a few rock solid and incredibly versatile alignments in mind that I can bust out when I get stuck. The ten layouts below should be enough to get you through even the worst cases of designer's block when you can't figure out the best way to arrange the content on your page.
Keeping It Simple
Page layout is equal parts art and science. Creating something that's visually attractive and unique takes an artist's eye. However, there are several very easy to follow guidelines that you can use to create solid layouts that work for any number of cases. These principles include choosing and sticking to an alignment, structuring your whitespace properly and highlighting important elements through size, positioning, etc.
Designers often stress out far too much about the layout process. We have a tendency to approach a project while thinking that it needs to be completely unique in every respect to be worth our time and the client's money. However, if you have a good look around the web you'll see that this isn't necessarily the case. Great looking websites often use layouts that are fairly simple and not the least bit unique. It's true that the pages we designers marvel at the most are often from the peculiar sites that break the mold, but your average client just wants something usable, clean and professional.
Search Engine Optimization is the strategy of getting your website noticed first in Google rankings. This is similar to the Houston Yellow pages in pre personal computer days when companies would name their companies AAA service company to get their listings at the top of search results in the phone book. You need potential Houston clients to find your company listed on the first page of Google.This will be accomplished by focusing your text content on relevant key words that potential clients are interested in to provide a fulfillment of a need. Ask yourself "What 3 words when typed into Google search would you like your customers to find your web site? Then provide relevant content that contains those words. An example might be "Houston (insert description here) Provider" People then go to your site, like what they see, and then contact you for your services, your business grows!
