Colour palette and imagery:
Color choosing is another important issue. A web designer should be careful about the combination of color and context.
Make sure that the chosen color palette could create a pleasing atmosphere for the visitors. The use of too deep color can create an annoying condition. And the use of too light color that is not easily readable also creates an annoying condition.
For the customized website it is better to highlight the important buttons like – ‘Buy now, Get this offer, click on the link, Add to cart’. So that visitors can easily buy products or access the link for further information.

If you use pictures then the website will be more authentic and beautiful. With the right sense of the picture, the selection will make your website more appealing.
Here, ‘Rule of thirds’ is important. It gives a clean artistic view of a picture. For a website, it gives a really cool vibe.
