Without a doubt, both functionality and website design have a strong influence on visitors' decisions about future visits and their choice of services offered by the resources. When creating a resource, one should focus on the potential consumer and their taste.
Often, the creator of a resource acts somewhat differently; what matters to them is the impression the website makes with its design and functionality only on themselves alone. Quite often, this attitude negatively affects the sales indicators of the resource's goods or services.
Sometimes even a high-quality, almost perfect design may not bring the expected commercial effect. The point is that the consumer needs something different according to their taste. For example, what attitude will there be in a working-class settlement towards a dandy from the capital? He is dressed in the latest fashion, but the local youth will reject him.
Similar things happen with resources. A website with simple functional offerings should not look intimidatingly expensive. Both the design and content, as well as the set of goods (services), must be clearly targeted at a specific age group and social status of visitors. It should be understood that it is impossible to please everyone. Just as people differ from each other in many features of appearance, so do websites.
Sometimes, in order to take into account the tastes of the majority of potential buyers, one can deliberately make some intentional violations of the golden proportions and color schemes in the design. This, however, rarely happens.
Guidelines are needed. When developing a new resource, one should thoroughly analyze the design of competitors' websites. This will provide a lot of material for thought and new ideas.
In all cases, a resource without a clutter of unnecessary pictures looks more attractive, especially since an excessive number of them will slow down its loading. Many potential clients will leave without waiting for what you consider an ideal flash intro to load. It is advisable to pay attention to the website menu, its design with drop-down buttons, and the order of commands require attention.
