When we are designing a website, we not only want that site to look great, but we need to make sure that our design encourages people to complete important tasks for which the site was created.
This could be making a purchase, requesting more information, becoming a member, or some other action that turns a random visitor into an actual customer. This is website engagement, and the design decisions that we make in our work can help increase that engagement and the overall success of the website. At Webydo, we are constantly monitoring these decisions to improve the product by understanding customer behavior.
In this article, we will look at 5 design tips that you can use to increase engagement on your next website project.
1. Clear Calls-To-Action
Have you ever been to a website and thought, “what do I do next?†You are not alone. One of the best ways that you can increase website engagement is by making it easy and obvious for customers to determine what they need to do to proceed.
When designing a website, think about the path that visitors should take and then make this path obvious with clear calls-to-action that do not allow those visitors to wonder “what do I do next?†Read the rest of this entry »

For our messages to communicate across efficiently, we need to create a powerful connection between the user and our medium. Today we are going to explore a new way of presenting stories on the web. And for this Patrik Goethe has created an open-source and free to use JavaScript library called space.js. It’s basically parallax technologies used for narration. Think of it as a bicycle for content presentation.
The library is HTML-driven, which means that you don’t need to write a single line of JavaScript to use it on your site and still have a lot of flexibility. The core of the library is to divide our HTML into frames, or space-frames as we call them her (to not conflict the common class name “frameâ€).
