Basics Of A Website: Balance

By Sue Mitchell


When creating a website you should need to be careful about different elements of web design. For any site the balance is a very important part. The lighter elements are the ones that are smaller while larger and denser elements in the page appear heavier that is the basic understanding for a site. You can balance design, symmetrically, asymmetrically, and discordant or off-balance through these three ways you can balance design. This is when the design is perfectly designed in the initial view, and then once the searcher reaches the site it becomes out of balance. There are different challenges to this, one of which is the fold. The balance is applied, the website in order to look attractive.

To include the balance in the design of the website, this must be taken into the overall design. Symmetrical balance is most common; this is when everything is focused on the website. There is also a floating style where you can place the different elements of balance through the page.

The basic element for a site that is the symmetrical it is a first type of balance. For example you will place the same weight element on the other side, if you have a light element on one side. Put this into consideration when creating a symmetrically balanced site, where the elements are placed in an even fashion throughout the overall website. If you do not create it with attention then your site may become boring or flat for visitors. As mentioned above, centering is the simplest way to create a symmetrical design. Instead of two light images on both sides you should mix and match elements to each other for example a light text on the other side and have a light image on other side. This way a symmetrical design will give an exciting look to the site.

The asymmetrical balance design is the more challenging choice for a site. In the overall design this sort of design does not have elements matched and cantered. It's a more creative and interesting form of design, however, may not be an easy to achieve success in it. You can replaced the element because you do not put elements consistently, this type of design has the same effect of a teeter-totter but throughout the page you can replace it and that also depend on the proper balance that how close to the center.

The most easily said than done of the three types of designs is out of balance or discordant design. This suggests the action and movement to the page; however, this may make visitors uncomfortable. Therefore, it works best if applied when the text and site content is intended to do just that. It is essentially as it sounds, out of balance.
