Colour best for your business web site

Colour code for us to match in your web design. Many times we all want to use our favourite colours on our sites. It’s our site after all and shouldn’t we let some of our personality show on our site? Letting your personality show is a good thing, however, your favourite colours may not be the best for your business web site!

These Colours are ALL available for the production of your web design

Colour of the Web

Colour choice is a big decision in every website design. Sometimes you may be designing a site for an existing business that already has an established colour scheme and logo, but many design projects will require the development of a colour scheme

Colours Convey

Colours evoke emotion in all of us and we make judgements based on the colours we see. Colours can be warm or cool, loud or soft, happy or sad.

Importance of Colours in Website Design

Colour can be used to attract a lot of attention and make your website stand out from the rest. However, one cannot merely throw up any old colour and expect his site to become beautiful. So what exactly does colour theory have to do with choosing a colour for your website? If you are wondering how to make your website stand out or draw attention to it, then read on to find out more.

In theory, everything that we see or notice has some sort of colour to it. However, it is interesting to note that people often mistake colours for other things. For instance, if two objects are close in proximity, such as two houses next to each other, they will most likely both have the same colour, but people will not always see this because their perceptions may be coloured.

In fact, the way in which we perceive colours is entirely different from how others do. When we are looking at something, whether it is a computer screen, painting or a car, we are more likely to look at specific colours more closely than others. For example, if we are driving along and see a car ahead, we will usually spend more time looking at the car’s registration number than the colour of the vehicle. The reason behind this is that our eyes are more sensitive to light and the colours that we are keener to see.

The colour that you choose to represent your business can make all the difference when it comes to your website. There are numerous websites that offer a service where you can upload a photo of your company logo and see how it would appear on a website of your own. This is an excellent way to obtain an idea of what colours your website could potentially appear in when it is complete. This is also one way to ensure that you use the right colours as this will show off your website to its best advantage. It will also help you make sure that your website does not resemble any other websites out there. You do not want to end up having a website that looks like the wrong type of website!

As mentioned earlier, a grand colour scheme will allow your visitors to know what type of business you operate. Therefore, when you are selecting the colours for your website, you should make sure that your potential clients know that you are offering them quality products and services. Colour schemes are also grand to make an individual website stand out from the crowd because they will help you make an impression on your potential customers and clients.
