Why is visual design important?

The initial impact of visual design is fundamental to a positive user experience. People immediately assess the likeability and credibility of sites based on overall visual design.

Visual design is a critical component of usability and interaction, as visual styling has a large impact on how people understand cues provided by page elements. Good visual design directs attention through an interface and highlights critical points of interest.

Visually appealing designs:

  • set the stage for a satisfying, outstanding experience
  • are perceived as easier to use
  • are perceived as more trustworthy than unappealing sites
  • help make your organisation appear professional and invested in your work.

Visuals are more than the final polish on your website. Good visual design guides users towards completing goals and fosters a positive website experience. At Peak, we use our understanding of human factors principles to ensure that our visual designs are both usable AND appealing.
