Feeling Bloated?

Avoiding Website Bloat

By Web Works Staff Designer, N. Tuttle

Bloat is a problem that affects all websites. There is growing pressure to put applets, documents, music players, and all manner of (often) useless junk on websites.

While a website has to look interesting to be effective, a website that is cluttered with all manner of weather trackers, social networking applets, background music, etc. is not effective.

Taking a minimalist (or at least pseudo-minimalist) approach to website design can often yield great benefits. Properly used imagery can push an already well-designed but somewhat bare website from good to great.

Here are examples:
