  • Design
  • Modern web

In our current era, the digital era, a business website is more than just simply having an online presence; it's the digital face of your businesses. Meaning you should of give it less care than the physical face of business, they should more or less be equal.

Modern web design is not just about aesthesis and who has the fanciest animations; it encompasses performance, user experience, and accessibility.

That's why I use tech like Next.js and Sanity as they are at the forefront of this revolution, offering opportunities for businesses to stand out.

Let's see how.

Modern Web Design Essentials

Today's web design goes beyond the surface. Here are some essentials:

  • Responsive Design: With the amount of different screen sizes we have in use, a website must look great and function seamlessly across all of them.

  • User Experience (UX): A website should be intuitive, engaging, and easy to navigate. Users should not be overwhelmed from their first step on their site.
  • Speed: In a world where a attention span is non-existent, self included, website speed is non-negotiable. Faster sites improve user satisfaction and SEO rankings. If you site does not load its content fast enough, they will just go to your competitors who's service is worse than yours.
