In this series of blogs, I will be sharing my learnings on how we can create a good design for websites so that it does not leave the user confused when they enter our website.

We all know a for a recipe to be good there lies balanced ingredients inside it, similarly, for a good web design there are 10 different ingredients inside that are -

  1. Typography

  2. Colors

  3. Images and illustrations

  4. Icons

  5. Shadows

  6. Border-radius

  7. White-space

  8. Visual Hierarchy

  9. User Experience

  10. Components and Layouts

We will be discussing all these ingredients in detail but first, let's understand the personality of a website so that we can make better choices for applying different ingredients to different personalities of websites.
