Your blog is a content hub for visitors and readers to learn and engage with.
If your content is not engaging, then your design is pretty much useless.
Design is a very important aspect area of growing your blog.
Excellent design will help you get more followers!
If you can afford to buy a set of themes, try to fit one of the best designs onto your blog.
Blog design can be the face of your identity.
Each large blog has a unique design to it and that is what many people remember.
Humans are very visual to colors and images, which most just remember that part of something new.
If you can’t design for cents, then some top wordpress plugins will most definitely work.
Blog Homepage Design
That is what everyone sees.
That is the first place where all arrive at.
Just like an airplane when it arrives at a certain airport. You see the outside design of the airport.
Some airports don’t look too great while some look fantastic like the LAX airport in Los Angeles.
It impresses me and do expect the same thing when I get inside.
Your blog design needs to be dressed with the best possible theme you can afford.
When you do get your theme, it would be excellent if you could customize it as much as your knowledge can take you.
A little knowledge of HTML and CSS can spare you a long headache of hiring someone else to do it.
Trust me, it has helped me tremendously fix and tweak some aspects of my blog design.
Post Design
There is a post design?
Yes there is. And I will help you understand it.
Writing posts is an art. Well, why not make it the best possible article you can create.
Designing an article can be the images, graphics, wording, paragraphs, and the personality of it.
All of those aspects play into the design if an article.
Try to mix up those characteristics that can make your article even better.
Work on one of those items in the list, one at a time, and make it the best possible one you can make.
Overall Design
The overall design is very important to put into play.
Before you ask what the overall design is, let me tell you this.
Success lies in the details of an accomplishment, and the design details of a blog goes hand and hand with that.
We all want to get more followers for our blogs.
Font, type of lettering, corners, and lining can make the view a whole lot pleasant to look at.
Conclusion
Before you feel bad about your design if you have one, tell yourself this.
“I did my best and I am willing to improve.”
That is all you need to say to yourself and you are half way there to accomplishing the best design of your blog.
Work on this aspect of the online world and make things the best that has ever been.

Cool inspiration Samuel. Although some will argue that spending too much time on site design is not a good thing. But more importantly spend your time on creating engaging content.
But I have to agree that site design is very important for the overall user experience. We all want to look unique in our niche so tweaking your design layout to become unique and appealing is very important. And you’re right, a little knowledge in html and css goes a very long way!

Exactly, don’t overdo the time with site design.
Spend you time with creating important content as well.

Thanks for the comment Robert!

My design may not win any awards, but one thing I kept hearing in the compliments was the simplicity of the design. A clean, uncluttered design goes a long way to improving the usability of your blog.
Twitter: internetdreamof
Simple design is also a smart way to go with it.
It all depends what your blog is presenting.
A minimal design might not always go well with what you are writing about.
But then again, it might if you test it out!

Well, acc. to me, if content is king, SEO is the queen and design is their castle.
But the thing is today design doesn’t matter if you want to earn money and if you want to have an online business than design does matters.
Thanks for the share.

I agree with Samuel. Overall design plays important role. It makes your blog/website stand out of the crowd. And yeah, it is useless when there is no quality content in your website. First, priority should be killer content and then, if you have enough funds improve your site design. Good thoughts, Samuel.

Both creating engaging content and designing your blog, go hand in hand with each other.
Don’t neglect one or the other.

Hey samuel !
I appreciate this post because you have highlighted the important point in this post. Aesthetic is too much important for any website and it should be according to the niche.
I must say even design can increase your customers.
Thanks.

hello samuel,
nice post. the design of a blog is the soul of the blog. when a visitor lands on your blog. the very first thing he/she notices is the design. we should keep our design professional. and wordpress helps us in a great way by providing free themes. and if we have a little knowledge of html and CSS. then we can further customize it according to our needs

True,
But sometimes the design is not always the case where a visitor might only see first.
Mostly the design is what they see, but they might be attracted to who knows what else such as your social media presence or the content creation you do.
WordPress is awesome and the themes that come with it are amazing too!
Thanks Prabhat!

I agree that design has some effect to the visitor. If the content of the website is just the same, I prefer website with excellent design.
Twitter: internetdreamof
Excellent design has great influence on me too as well as excellent content.
Both go hand in hand!
Samuel Pustea recently posted..3 Twitter Tools For You To Succeed On Twitter!
Nice share Samuel, but “That is the first place where all arrive at.” for homepage is slightly wide of the mark for almost all blogs. When anyone reaches your blog from search engine, then he/she lands on any page or post. So we have to consider all sections, not only homepage.

Hi,
I think that the design is important nowadays, but if there weren’t good content, design will be like a beautiful empty box!
Twitter: internetdreamof
That is why you will need to make both equally beautiful, if you know what I mean
Work on the content as well as the design.
Thanks Dima!

I to believe that you should make it easy to use, like and share your blog content. There are many that leave it to chance when posting content. Good content and great usability make for an experience that users love.

Samuel recently posted..3 Twitter Tools For You To Succeed On Twitter!
I am not one who will disregard an article or a site because the design is boring or even bad…BUT my experience as a user is much, much more pleasant if the site is put together properly. If it is clear that the author cared not only about putting the information out there, but also about the experience of the user who is looking for the information, then I will probably stick around and look into even more of the site than I would if it were awkward and unpleasant.
I agree with your opinion robert, The important thing is the content in the site. But design an attractive site will also attract the attention of visitors.
Twitter: bloggingheaven
I know design matters a lot but in this era of technology and every second person posting about one thing.People need just a fast loading site and great content which can help them in there problem.There are many blogs around having smart number of visitors and a decent pr but there design are simple .

Hey Samuel,
I agree, first impressions of a site are very important, and one can easily tell a site just thrown up for advertising / ad sense, so putting some time into it, as well as editing a little CSS or HTML can go a long ways, and be very beneficial;.

design and content both matter depends on the niche and the type of visitors some topics require more design and graphical attractive than content
Thanks for this samuel, i think all bloggers should first concentrate on the basic stuff but most of them do the opposite in just about a month they start concentrating on making money and advertising stuff rather than first building their blog

When i was new to the blogging i really don’t know that design play a key role in attracting readers. But, it is true that theme of the blog and design play really important role in attracting the users. Along with the design we should maintain quality content.

I look at the design of a website as being the same as how you would care for yourself. You could be a great person, but if don’t take proper care of yourself, you limit the number of people that are interested in getting to know you.
Appearance makes a difference. Even if the content is great, design matters when it comes to how long I stay.
Your design shows that you care about your content and your readers.
Like the quote Anurag “content is king, SEO is the queen and design is their castle”

At first, I didn’t understand what you meant when you said “make your blog look like the Eiffel Tower” but I understand that inspiration can come from the strangest places sometime! Everyone wants their blog to be efficient, informative and pull in traffic but people need to understand that the majority of readers are superficial and if the presentation isn’t to their liking they will quickly leave.
But yes, it is important to make sure the blog looks nice and if the Eiffel tower is your inspiration then so be it!

Hi Samuel,
Thanks for the article!
I do feel design is important for any blog that can represent the thinking of its owner. As for my blog, I ALWAYS designed my own header to be as representative as the Blog Message content itself. If it’s Educational, the picture already gives the visitors a rough idea even before exploring the contents within.
I also feel more confident to help out or advice them how to do so.
Cheers and have a great day!
