Why Your Website's Purpose is More Important Than Its Looks
Before choosing colors or fonts, define your website's single core goal: to sell, inform, or generate leads? Every design choice must serve this purpose. A beautiful but confusing site fails. A simple site that quickly guides users to act—like buying or contacting you—succeeds. Think of purpose as your blueprint. You wouldn't decorate a house without knowing the room count. Design is the style that makes your functional foundation effective and welcoming. Start with "why," and the "how" of design becomes clear.
