The basic meaning of asymmetrical is that the web design doesn’t follow the grid’s structure and the grids are not present at the front. The full-page header is self-explanatory, the web designers are focusing on just a few words or small phrases for hints along with a full-page header designed mainly focused on visual and graphics to explain the actual message.

2. Organic (Bubble or Fluid like Appearance)

Such web designs are built on a solid grid structure and the design elements of the text are placed in bubbled containers along with the small or medium-sized solid text. The designers are using flat colour patterns with radiant or without radiant to focus more on the textual message, the header can be with less text and more visuals and graphics.

4. Enhanced Real-life Images or Elevated Images

Enhanced Real-life Images or Elevated Images based web design and interfaces are mainly achieved with highly processed real-life images. This could be achieved with the shadows, elevated images, overlapping images, strategically placed in different design containers. Such visuals and graphics are very effective in getting more interest and attention from the user, as the human brain response significantly well towards the images especially real-life images rather than the text and graphical patterns.

5. Monochrome UX/UI

Monochrome UX/UI simply means the web user interfaces designed using only a single colour. Having a wonderful and eye-catchy web design is not the only aspect people will remember your website. But even If only a single colour is used to design the fonts and the elements on a plain solid coloured canvas, such design will be more memorable than any other type of designs. The human brain loves simplicity, which is the reason one colour web design or monochrome design is more easily captured and remembered by our brain. Although it may sound simple in reality this could be a nightmare for even an experienced web designer, so only a few attempted to adopt this approach but if a design is designed well in a monochrome UX/UI format, it looks like a masterpiece of the art.

6. Overlapping Design Elements

The overlapping design elements based web design is a kind of more modern and more up to date approach. Such designs look more kind of science fictional and mainly used to represent the companies who are into the technology or their products or services are somehow related to the technology. The different design elements are overlapping each other and sometime may look tangled. This will encourage a viewer to focus and pay more attention and if correct colour schemes are used, such designs result in more revisits.

7. Large Navigation

Since the mobile and tablets are becoming more popular so web designs with large navigations and large buttons are becoming more popular as they perform very well on all devices especially on smartphones and tablets, they even look more clean and more futuristic on laptop/pcs or large screens too. The mobile-first approach do very well but for certain niche only, so it depends a lot on your audience and the niche of the business.

8. Large Typography

As the name suggests the large typography means large fonts everywhere, this is also a modern design technique and gaining popularity especially among commercial, marketing and fashion industry, many eCommerce are also adopting it, but only those who are dealing in a specific product.

9. Dynamic Scrolling

There was a time when parallax web design was the market leader but soon it lost its importance and the web designers start adopting dynamic scrolling instead, especially for large web pages. Dynamic Scrolling alone is not as that appealing but if used with a background video or any kind of graphical animation it can focus on anything the designer wants, such as a photo or a heading or a tagline and so on. This approach is also very effective when dealing with interactive web pages. It can also be used to give a 3D kind of visual effects with boosted user interaction.

Though we got some delays because of some new postings at the client-side and later the COVID-19 outbreak overall we are trying to deliver each milestone before its due date. The user interface and the navigational structure of the website is a bit challenging but thanks to our experienced designers and analysts we have successfully built a very business-centric design that will totally enhance the online brand identity of the organization. The digital marketing campaign will also help to build the brand image online. We are looking forward to completing the project in due time.”

I couldn’t agree anymore, being the part of the analysts’ team I also got a chance to involve in the research and analysis process for the user interface and navigation mockup designs, and it was not an easy task to do that. But we took enough time to present an idea which got approved soon. At RSI Concepts the quality is everything, we do not compromise on the quality and ensure to deliver best.

2.1.3 Off-Page SEO

The on-page SEO is just the half of it, the other half is the off-page SEO. Off-page SEO is mainly based on backlinks and social media bookmarks. The backlinks can be organic if your content is meant for general public consumption, but if you are targeting a specific audience, you should have to build useful backlinks for your website. There are so many different methods and techniques to build backlinks. Same is applicable for the social bookmarks. All your social media profiles and pages should be linked to your website.

People tend to post on your social media platforms, it could be good or bad also. People can appreciate the product or service they acquired from you or they can write a positive or negative review about their experience. That doesn’t matter what people write on your social media the important thing is how you respond to them. You should be very polite, humble, and responsible in case of negative feedback or comment, you should try to resolve the issue and try to move them to a private conversation or your official complaint channels, rather discussing things in the public domain. Try to respond to as many people as you can, this will build your brand image in the social media and in case of social media anything could go viral, which could boost your social media profiles and pages.

2.2.3 Brand Awareness Campaign

Brand Awareness Campaigns are often referred to as traffic building campaigns as well. But that is not the case, the traffic building campaigns are specifically designed to get more and more traffic whereas the brand awareness campaigns are meant to promote the brand. Though in most of the digital marketing campaigns the strategy is built to get more website traffic sometimes the adverts encourage people to visit a particular outlet, or branch, or the office rather than just visiting the website. The approach is a little bit different when it comes to the advertisements and the targeted audiences. The prime objective of the brand awareness digital marketing campaign is to let more and more people see your brand and influence them to have a positive opinion about the brand.
