High-Quality Web Design: Part One of a Series of Examples and Techniques (Leave Blank)

Some examples and techniques to improve the quality of web and blog design
"High quality" is the goal pursued by everyone, and the world of web design is no exception. But what is “quality” and how to judge whether the quality of a design is good or bad? The author happens to have a method for finding the focus of quality in web design. Once you understand how to judge what makes a high-quality design good, you will have a lot of skills to make your own designs even better.

Next, I will list some key points with you, attach corresponding examples, and share with you my process of finding "high quality" in other people's web design.

01. White Space
What I notice most about good web design is the clever use of white space between design elements. Paying attention to the spacing and arrangement of different content blocks can make a big difference in the overall feel of your design, thereby improving the quality of your design.

I think the key to handling white space well is to perceive the design elements as a whole. It would be a good idea to zoom out and view the design draft.

Examples of excellent white space processing
Good.is
The page is clean and open, all thanks to the designer's accurate control of the amount of white space between text and images.

Digital Mash
Elements displayed on large white spaces tend to be more attractive. Digital Mash's website creates excellent affinity

Creatica Daily's large amount of white space
The excellent use of white space once again makes the web content the focus. There's a lot of content in each article, but the site's designers aren't afraid to fill in a lot of white space between all that content. It’s not that you can’t use a lot of white space if you don’t have enough text.

There is also a lot of white space on Postbox
Look closely at Postbox’s website and you can see how the white space around the edges should be treated. It has 60 pixels of white space around the edges of the box. It sounds big, but it actually looks great.

Errors in white space
The most common problem when designing white space is that the distance from the content of each block to the edge is too small. No matter how stylish your design is, if you try to cram things too tightly, the style, along with the quality of the design, will be lost.

Examples of insufficient white space
We have seen what a moving effect the large white spaces on PostBox’s website create, so let’s modify its page and see what the effect of reducing the white space will be. :

The sense of quality has obviously declined. The impact of white space is so great.

Techniques for efficiently controlling white space
The requirements for white space vary under various circumstances. You need to constantly train yourself to be aware of the changes that white space can bring, so that you can effectively use white space to meet design needs. This depends on personal feeling, but it can all be learned through practice.

Use Grids to Assist Design
Using grids will certainly help you understand the white space between elements.

Keep trying
Keep trying-fail-trying until you find the best solution.

White space is not a waste of space
White space is not always waiting for you to fill it.
That’s right, less is more
Instead of filling a certain area with all your efforts, it’s better to leave it blank and only keep the vital information.
