What are the best practices to create blog design?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><b>What Is Blog Design?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Blog design is the approach to make your blog optimized in terms of the look, feel readability, functioning, and branding. The basic aim to do that is to increase the count of visitors to the website and increase the conversion. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Why is blog design important?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Do you know? Around 70 million blog posts are published in 1 month. In such a vast count, to get to the top, you need to make sure that your content is high-quality and informative. Not just in terms of the quality but it needs to be presentable. If your content is not presented correctly, it will impact your brand credibility and trust factor. So, there is no way that you need to get that impacted at any cost. The effort you put into writing the first blog should be the same as when you write the 98th blog. All in all, the design of your blog will bring in more users than before. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>What are the best practices for blog design?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Give prime focus on readability<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Some people think that blog design is about colors, UX, branding, and illustrations. These are important but in the same way as typography. The blog is the place where text is read, but if that is not easy to read things will not go in your favor. Here\u2019s what you need to do:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0e101a;\">Use font size in between 15px-18px.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0e101a;\">Blogs with small fonts are not what the user prefers and there are high chances users will not stay on the website.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0e101a;\">Along with font size, you need to include as much white space as you can.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Be consistent with the blog design<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Consistency is the key to success, just like in normal life and even for blog design. When you use a similar style and method, people will remember you and they will easily link with you. No matter how many blogs you want to post, follow this for every blog. So, make sure that you keep the look and feel of the blog the same on every post. If you like to use photos with text, then make that a consistent approach. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Make a design to uplift your business website<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Make the design easy to read and keep the design elements the same. Well! You need to make some of the blogs stand apart from the rest. This will give the feeling that your blog is doing better against the competitors. You might be wondering how you can make the design unique and better? Here\u2019s what you need to do:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Your blog feed<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li>Your banner images<\/li>\n<li>Your WordPress theme<\/li>\n<li>Font and typography<\/li>\n<li>Illustrations<\/li>\n<li>Comments section<\/li>\n<li>Site navigation<\/li>\n<li>Footer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">You can improvise the way you want and like to make your blog design stand out. Check what your competitor is doing, then do something better than them. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Highlight and focus on the best content<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In most cases, the latest posts are on the top, and then comes the old ones. But, this will make it difficult for the user to go through the best stuff on the <a href=\"https:\/\/flymediatech.com.au\"><strong>website<\/strong><\/a>. You need to curate the list which includes some of the best stuff on your website. Highlight the evergreen content, so that the user gets to know why you stand apart from the rest. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Embed images and visuals<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Blog design does not end with the page design. To make the content impressive and interesting you need to include images and visuals. Doing this will give your content the extra pop and it will be more attractive. Keep in mind that you \u2018SHOULD\u2019 use an image. The user might get bored seeing 100% text on the website or web page. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Give preference to custom pages for Big content<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In case you want to publish something unique and better, should the design be the same? In that case, you need to have something custom made and it should make the people understand that \u2018Why is it different?\u2019 In case you are publishing a story or survey, then try to be different with the layout to grab their attention. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Make use of the Byline<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In most cases, people think \u2018Who wrote the content?\u2019 It&#8217;s human psychology to go to the bottom and learn who has written that. On every post make sure to write a byline by adding the headshot of the person. It makes them feel connected to your brand. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e101a;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Apart from these points, you should include the social media share buttons so that people can share what they like or tell others about something new, which might benefit them. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is Blog Design?
