• Now lets have a look at the top 5 elements of
  visual hierarchy in a website design
• Size
• From a common perspective, the most important
  element on a page should look larger in size so
  designers always consider the size factor before
  making any decision. For example, a common
  thought keep running in designers mind that the
  objects needed to be clicked by visitors should
  be made big enough so that they can click or tap
  them easily. This idea is true for call to action
  buttons that are placed on the homepage or
  landing page. The call to action buttons should
  not look 10 times bigger than other elements on
  the page as you might want to use some indirect
  methods to convey your message. However in some

4
cases neither catchy sentences nor attractive
designs are required to engage users with
certain element or product. Its because the
images itself describe everything and work as an
effective call to action. Size affects the
different elements of the page including title,
subheading and the body of content. While
determining the size of different elements on the
page you also need to consider their contrast
and appearance. In some cases the font size of
the content on the page should be kept smaller in
size so that your visitors stay focused on the
key visuals and not distracted from it. When you
build a professional website to engage your
visitors, you need to keep all the elements on
the page in a balanced manner. To do this you
should work on the visual hierarchy of your
website and analyze the proper position, color
and size of the elements. While trying to make
your website more engaging you should not make
something too large, and something too small. You
should determine carefully the size of fonts,
call to action buttons and images. If you dont
want to do it yourself and need someone

that site. It affects the usability of visitors
when they try to do something on your website.
There are a few principles of visual hierarchy
that you can work on to make a big impact on your
users. It includes Fitts law and Hicks law where
the former one is about taking advantage of the
elements
5
position on a page that can be easily reached by
the visitors. For example, the corner and border
of the screen is the place where a mouse can
easily reach as compared to a fixed point in the
center of the page. Whereas the latter explains
that the more options a user would have, the
longer they will take in making a decision. So
it is good to not give too many options to your
users and not restrict them too much in taking
some action. To understand better take an
example of a well-designed website and a
poorly-designed website. Whom do you like to do
business? Its obvious you are going to like the
former one and not the latter one. Why? Because
everything you see on their page is placed at the
right position and you do not need to scroll the
page too much to find the useful features or
elements. Its also easy to navigate their page
as you can understand well what you are required
to do after landing on their website. The catchy
lines, attractive images and visually appealing
fonts make things clear where the CTA button is
located. If you also dream to have a
well-planned layout for your website, you will
have to wait no longer for it anymore. There are

Contrast Its no secret that people make
emotional connections with colors when it is
used individually or with other colors. You can
enhance or eliminate the psychological effects
of colors by making use of the contrast. When you
contrast some colors against different colors,
it draws more attention of the visitors when
they land on your page. For example, a yellow
call to action
6
button or font might look more impressive when it
will be placed on a page with blue background.
These types of color combinations will help you
decide what can impress your visitors more than
any other combination for your CTA. The whole
internet is filled with multiple color options to
choose for your website. Now its up to you what
color you like to use for your CTA or the
background of the page. When different colors are
used in designing the layout of a website, the
designers should make sure they work on the
contrast part very well to differentiate between
the key visuals and other visuals. Also they
need to make sure whatever colors they are using
in the website should not be hard on the eyes of
visitors. The color combination that highlights
the CTA on your page is considered to be good
for visual hierarchy. You can also have a
beautiful website for your business if you work
with a good web design company. The designers at

design of your website by adding a touch of your
own personality to it with the help of graphics,
images and textures. It also affects the visual
hierarchy of your page and when you use the
texture correctly, it benefits you in the same
way as the right color and size. For instance
when you place the non-textured element in the
foreground and textured one in the background,
your design will stand out from other designs.
But dont do it excessively otherwise it will
ruin the overall look of your page.

For using the graphics and images on your web
page, it is better to make creative logos,
unique icons and beautiful photos that will be
displayed on your website. The idea behind going
through this process is to create an
aesthetically pleasing design that draws the
attention of your visitors instantly. Remember a
visual hierarchy is formed by the arrangement of
a variety of elements on a web page such as
texts, images, and graphics. If these elements
are placed at the right positions on the page
then its well and good and if not then you will
have to place it correctly. When everything will
be placed at the right positions, your users can
find the desired features and elements easily by
moving their mouse pointer. Sometimes when you
browse the internet you will come across many
gorgeous looking websites but not all of them
have a visual hierarchy that enhances the user
experience. So it is not necessary that all
gorgeous looking websites provide great user
experience. When you start looking for the top
web design companies on the internet, not all of

hierarchy for your website. But you can trust us

Proximity According to Gestalt principles, the
users tend to perceive elements as a similar
function when they are placed together. However
the elements that are related to the central
image of the page are placed just below it and
the navigation options for the content of the
website are placed usually at the right
side. In a web design white space also plays an
important role in enhancing the look of the
website apart from other elements. One of the
common mistakes that some inexperienced
designers make while designing a website is
adding unnecessary elements to the white space
to fill it out instead of leaving it. They
8
hardly understand that white space should be used
as a design tool to enhance the readability and
visibility of the website content. To make the
key visuals of your website easily noticeable,
the sufficient amount of white space should be
left between the important elements of the page.
This way you can make those elements the center
of attention for all the visitors landing on your
page. You can also improve the comprehension of
the texts by making good use of white space in
margins and between paragraphs. Including white
space in your web design is so important that it
acts as a factor in engaging or disengaging your
visitors with your web content. For this reason
the designers consider white space as an
important element of the visual hierarchy. Now
when you know the top 5 elements of visual
hierarchy in web design, you should keep it in
mind while designing a customized website for
your business. But if you dont have technical
knowledge of CSS and HTML languages you might
not be able to create an effective website for
your business. In that case you should talk to
