QUICK TIPS
1. đ¨ Web Design Trends Come and Go, But Simplicity Wins
Design aesthetics change all the time. Whatâs trendy today might look outdated next year.
But one principle never fades: simplicity.
A cluttered header with 12 menu items, 6 social media links, a search box, and a subscribe button? Overwhelming.
A homepage packed with too many galleries or service options? Confusing.
A clean website isnât about just white space or big fontsâitâs about prioritization. Guide visitors toward what truly matters. Fewer choices = better user experience = more trust.
2. đ Plural vs. singular â tiny words, big impact
Word choice matters â even something as simple as using plural or singular.
Hereâs the rule of thumb:
Use plural for pages that list multiple items:
â Galleries, Videos, Projects, Workshops, Events, Prints, Stories, Tours
Use singular for collective or abstract nouns:
â Blog, Shop, Archive, Fine Art, Multimedia, Search
Calling a page âGalleryâ when it displays multiple galleries creates a mismatch that can confuse users. Stay consistent with what the page actually contains.
