Persuasive graphics are essentially images that aimed to direct your visitors to another area of the website; perhaps a subscriptions page, product page or even a contact page.

The majority of blogs will have a real purpose, and persuasive graphics, also known as call to actions will be instrumental in terms of getting your visitors to the right pages. Many people will create their own call to actions, and if you have a decent knowledge on Photoshop then this is a good option.

Blogs are not only light hearted ‘online diaries’ they can actually increase sales for companies, and help people spread their own individual message, and persuasive graphics can help to ensure your visitors do not just leave on the first page.

Flat website design has been in the spotlight over the last few months and it is a trend that looks set to continue well into 2014. Flat website design involves simple colours, flat graphics (without embossing or shadows) and an all round simpler design.

Many businesses websites and blogs have taken up flat designs, and it’s a change that should be considered with your target audience’s needs. It’s not just the simple aesthetics that are beneficial to a website; loading times can also be quicker, because it could mean your graphics contain less data.

Switching to a flat design can ensure you’re up to date with the latest trends, but if it sacrifices your audience’s needs then there is no point, so consider your audience before you consider the flat design trend.

A blog can be an individual’s personal space, and some may say that the web design is not quite as important as is on company websites, but every blog has a target audience, and it should appeal to their needs.

You may not feel as though you’re writing to an audience, but you are, whether you know it or not. Each and every blog will have some kind of audience, and the design must be appropriate. You have to consider colours, functionality, brand, and typography, and if you really want t your blog to become a success, every element should be considered in detail.

You may find you’ve been adding content to your blog for years, but you’re still struggling to see the same audience returning, and this is a sign that you need to update your blog design. A blog is not just a place to release your thought feelings or information, its place visitors should enjoy, and design must be considered if you want returning visitors.
