Web Design Training

What Is Web Design?

Web design is more than making things look good. It’s the art and science of creating digital experiences that are intuitive, accessible, and engaging. A well-designed website guides users effortlessly—helping them find what they need without confusion or frustration.

At its core, web design blends visual design, user interface (UI), and user experience (UX). It’s about structure, clarity, and empathy—understanding how people think and behave online.

Why Does Web Design Matter?

In his classic book Don’t Make Me Think, usability expert Steve Krug emphasizes a simple truth: if users have to stop and think about how to use your site, something’s wrong. Great design should be self-evident. Every button, menu, and layout choice should feel natural and obvious.

Some key takeaways from Krug’s philosophy:

– Clarity beats cleverness: Users don’t read—they scan. Make navigation and content obvious.
– Every click should feel like the right one: It’s not about fewer clicks, but about frictionless ones.
– Less is more: Cut unnecessary words and distractions. Focus on what matters.

These principles are the foundation of our training approach.
