Using a page layout builder in creating your website might make you think that the job is easier than it really is. And that is because a page layout builder only takes care of the technical elements of your design. The rest is all you. So, before starting to make your own website from scratch, no matter if for business, or for pleasure, you should know that there are a few thing you should avoid.

All in one

Cluttering is a definitely “must not have” when it comes to designing your web pages and includes everything from images, icons and text to banners and other ad forms. The idea is simple. If you use too much content, no element will be clearly visible anymore. Text will be hard to read, images hard to perceive, and banners … Well, nobody will care about the banners.

Colors and forms

When it comes to colors the rule is always keep it simple. This “simple” has actually became “monochrome” this year. One color in multiple tones and contrasts to define and support your message. Because colors and especially background are there only to create the frame for your text and images. If you look at your design, and the first thing you see are your colors or maybe your background, make it all blank and try again.

Text and typography

Yes, there is something called too much text. Focus on titles and subtitles, make your paragraphs short and outline your main ideas. Make it easy to read, because otherwise it will not get read. Text is another piece of content where “more” is almost never “better”.

A page layout builder is an instrument created to help you surpass the technical obstacle that had previously kept average business owners from creating their own website without involving professional programmers. But it does not tell you what you do right, or wrong. Style, quality and engagement are all yours to manage and use to create an efficient and unique design.

It is important for all developers to know that the most important element in developing a website is the plugin. With a good developed plugin, you can create whatever aspect you want. All you have to do is search in the WordPress panel for special options. There you can see an online store, where you can buy themes for your website or a modified template for your needs. If it's a business website, you can extend your plugin to create special options like Open Cart or Online Card Transfer. Therefore, the most important tool for your website is a page layout builder.
