When
it comes to web designing our philosophy is to keep it simple, so that the
content can be easily understood.
“The
main thing in our design is that we have to make things intuitively obvious,” –
Steve Jobs-
1.
It’s Easier to Understand
Yes!
Simple designs are easier to understand and easier to interpret and viewers
will get the idea instantly. As it’s been said “Good designs are like jokes if
you have to explain it, then it isn’t that good”
2.
Cost Effective
Simple
designs are often cost effective but simplicity isn’t just putting it simple,
there are few aspects to check as well and most probably designer’s expertise knowledge
and experience will play a major role. Complex designs are time consuming and
not cost effective but having said that if you consider some of the designs
from Apples though they are simple most of them aren’t just cheap but cleverly
planned and designed in simpler manner.
3.
Design is subjective
There
are no good designs or bad designs! It’s just designs what makes it good or bad
is relative and subjective to the viewing eye, let me explain it in this way
one person likes Purple as his best color while another one likes brown but in
reality both colors are just two colors from color palette what makes is better
than the other is totally a delusion in mind. This is really a tricky situation
because designers have to keep an eye one what the majority will like. One of
the best ways to deal with this dilemma is to make it simple so that users will
use their own imagination to interpret the meaning.
4.
Proven by Science
It’s
scientifically proven that in most cases simpler designs make it easier for
viewers to take decisions. If it complex and hard to understand then they will
take time to make decisions because they might not got the idea correctly.
