3 questions to ask myself when creating my web design

What is the purpose of creating this website?

How do i get the answer to these? When we are not the target audience? 
Research into what we are doing by looking at precedents 
AND FOCUS GROUPS:

All websites include:

- Type 
- Image 

4 Limitations when looking into web design

  1. Hello there, my friend. Accept it or not, but you and me are alike. We both have the same points of view when it comes to web design. I always ask myself who's my target audience? And how can I create a website that they'll find engaging? By the way, I'd like to add something about the banner and logo because they are also important for a website. A logo and banner can also create a very strong impression on your audience.

  2. It's certainly true that a website must have an engaging and appealing graphic design that is simple and functional. This is a good way to make the website more responsive, and it can actually gain a lot of potential readers and visitors.
