7 Elements to Make Your Blog Look Great
473In What Makes a Design Good?, I talked about the technical aspects of a good design, like site and user goals, branding, and distinction.
I did not however answer the question of what makes a design look good. What makes one blog visually attractive, but makes another one ugly?
There is no mathematical solution, but there is an artsy one. A good looking design is a combination of a number of factors. If your blog succeeds in each of these areas, then the overall effect will be an appealing design.

Structure
I have a friend who won’t go into a certain sports store because the layout is too confusing. Men’s clothes next to the women’s, kids next to adults, football tops out on their own etc. I’m sure there is an order to it somewhere, but I can’t see it.
There is a lot of information on a web page. You can order your page in your own mind, but if the ordering is not blatantly obvious to a first-time visitor, they’re going to be overloaded and leave.
Structure and grid-based design are the corner-stones of a well laid out blog.

Balance
A good design is easy to take in. It allows your eye to glide around the page naturally, without being continually drawn to a certain area of the page.
Think of a see-saw. If you put too much weight on one-side, it will tilt in that direction. But if the weights are equal, it will balance.
In the same way, the weights of the different areas of your page should be equal. The weight of a specific element is affected by its size, but also by its color, its position, and even the detail within it.

Color

Color is a scary topic for many people, but it must be braved. The most sure-fire way to ruin a great design is to choose an awful color scheme.
If you don’t trust your eye to pick a good color scheme, there are many tools out there to help you.

Small Details
A person can appreciate complexity in a design. The small details make the overall effect.
You don’t need great works of art in your header, or fancy features in your sidebar. The small details in your site will communicate the level of effort put into a design all by themselves.
It’s working on those details that takes a design from good to great.
Further Reading: Design Is In The Details
Clarity And Emphasis
No reader cares to read all of the content on your page. Most want to read as little as possible. They only need the gist of your points, and then they move on.
Clarity in your design allows one element to differentiate itself from its neighbor, and emphasis on your most important elements, such as post headlines, indicates clearly where the reader should look.
Ample whitespace is a favorite tactic for achieving this. It lets your design breathe, preventing readers from being overloaded and confused.

Remarkability
Image by Orgutcayli.
This is Seth Godin’s word. You normally hear about it in the context of products and services, but it applies to web design as well.
There are two routes that a design can take. Safe and not safe. You can choose a simple color scheme, a regular 2-column layout and a normal Arial font, and make a decent blog. It won’t be anything spectacular, but it will do the job.
A great design does something more. It goes further than the regular web site and it makes itself unique. Great designs have a certain aspect that makes them better than other sites. Something about them that is worth remarking upon.

Functionality
Design on the web is not based solely on appearance anymore. Even on blogs, the functionality on your page plays a large role. What do you think when you see beautifully laid out threaded comments? Or well implemented Gravatars?
A good blog is much more than a diary with comments. It allows for you to interact with the content, and makes your experience much more enjoyable.

When you see a web page with great functionality, obsessive attention to detail and no flaws to be found, it gives you high expectations for the site. It says a lot about the blogger.
There are far more than 7 elements to a great design. These are merely my favorites. What do you think makes a design great?
Enjoy this post? You should follow me on Twitter!
For me, type is really important on a blog. That’s more specific than the principles on your list, but it’s worth mentioning because blogs are first and foremost about content, so reading that content must be easy. I specifically like the type design at A List Apart and Wired.com.
I agree, type is very important, but the elements listed in the article were worth it as well.

hi everyone, our team have created a unique blog for one of our customer. you can view it in facebook: jeffreydraft@gmail.com
Very good points!
To me, some blogs are a turn-off, no matter how good the writing is. I hate slow-loading websites, flashy pictures everywhere and worse, people who pile things up (awards etc) in the sidebar.
Web design takes a lot of effort and I’m not a specialist but I hope we can all follow your basic advice!
This is one of the good articles you can find in the net explaining everything in detail regarding the topic. I thank you for taking your time sharing your thoughts and ideas to a lot of readers out there.
zhu i m agree with u bt u can tell me how i make my blog attractive and a good station where people comes more to read my posts please tell me
yes i agree with all
templates are fun
Great article Michael! I too think the small details can make or break a site. I’m usually obsessive about very small details that the average person wouldn’t even notice, but I think it makes a big difference.
As for the functionality, I agree there too. People are doing some amazing things with navigation bars, threaded comments and the gravatars you mention these days. Really adds that something extra to the site that you probably wouldn’t even think about.
Michael,
Thanks for the link. Personally, I find clarity and emphasis to be especially important. Blogs are all about content, so it needs to be readable and the right content needs to be emphasized.
thankyou for share your knowledges with us
Quite Personally – Design Comes Second in a blog. (but a very close second)
If the content was useful to the reader, why should it matter what is around it?
Having said that, I have read a blog that was nothing but ads but their content caught the attention of my feed reader, so I can say that their design was flawed, but it was what the title was that attracted me.
I mean you look at these new “Minimalist” templates that are springing up in blogs, and they aren’t bad to look at, just a little plain.
I agree with what you are saying, very interesting stuff.
you can also add that providing the news source is also a good pratice.
So very, very true. And each point as important as the next I’d say. Its all about working these elements together, you can never rely on one single element.
Nice article. :) Always nice to read some tips concerning the appearance of our blogs.
If you guys don’t mind could you rate the readability and look of my blog? Because it’s a dark theme and some people don’t like to read white on dark.
Hi.I’ve just made my very first website using weebly.com.I know that using a hosting site isn’t ideal but as I said,it’s my first and i’m just learning.If you could give me some feedback,be it praise,criticism,tips,links,it would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance!
i like using simple themes with minimum graphics
Hey i am looking for wordpress theme… now i will evaluate the themes using these tips… thanks for the tips… :)
I agree that if the design isn’t right, people won’t take the time to read your content. So you might have the best blog in the world, but if everyone is turned off by your color scheme, then nobody will take the time to read your great blog.
Keep the styles and colours simple, that’s the best option.
Agree, unless you’re provding dowloadable contents then it doesn’t matter how bad your site looks, information is still king here, althought not many would want to stay on your site for long.
Thanks for the tips I’m working on my own wordpress theme.
i agree with your opinon. thank you for this post. very intresting. i like it.
Cheers!

Great Ideas, I know if I see a black background I immediately leave no matter how great the content, it’s just to hard for me to read..
Thanks

Some very valid points made here and color, affiliate ads and comments that go on forever just tend to stress people out and distract from the purpose of the post. I’m attempting to redesign my template myself so getting tips from more experienced people is always a plus. Nice work, appreciate the advice. Cheers, Robert “Butch” Greenawalt MRHYPERPCS
Wow i just noticed something else which I wanted to comment on…. “The Tags” so you use the tags rather than the categories themselves? Do you find that a more structured method over say using a dropdown menu of categories or categories listed in the side bar for example?
Not attempting to be critical here :) I was just curious about your opinion. Thanks.
Yes for me layout is number 2 after site content. It’s better to make it eye catching
please tell me how i make my blog populer
Thanks, nice article.
I think the spacing of elements can greatly help the user understand the content hierarchy too.
Thanks for a good read! And you show it off by the way you layout the article with spacing and emphasizing copy – easy to read. Cheers! I’ll be back for more…
great post, i especially like the part of Functionality, lots of people forget this one
Thanks for the great article, really useful for anyone starting a blog design.
I have many blogs which are all free,and they are all used the template,some is very good,I think when design a blog, the style is important,I like a generous blog.
Functionality is very important for sure.
Too much color is not good for their eyes…

Thank you for the new ideas for my blogs. I’m relatively new at this and I’ve got two blogs that are taking off; yet the best-looking one hasn’t got any followers at all. So, I was wondering what I was doing wrong – which ironically is nothing. However, I think I’ll leave my other two blogs the way they are and just change the font and the size of the font on ‘The Book Craze’ because it is a little small.
Thank you again. You’ve written a great article.

This guideline is very useful. The pictures you chose for this article are also great they are very inspiring. Thank you.
Yes, color is so important! Good that you’re underlining this.
This post was very nicely written, and it also contains a lot of useful facts.
I enjoyed your professional manner of writing the post. Thanks, you have made it easy for me to understand.
I strongly believe that whatever interesting and outrageous content you would have on a blog/website, with a crappy design there’s a big chance that the visitors will search the requested information in other places.
Great points mate!
Excellent blog, thanks for this valuable information to me and very useful of my work.

This article was very nicely written.
thank for sharing article.
good article. very nice
RIght on the money Mark. I can’t even begin to tell you how many good, and intelligently written webpages I’ve stumbled across and had to abandon from forwarding to clients because the design was just God Awful. Some are just inexcusably bad and from purported web design companies to boot! I’ll keep this on hand as a good primer for people starting out.
One thing I’d add to the list if I may be so bold: Proper spelling and grammar! I am simply astounded by the appalling lack of both I find so frequently on “professional” websites!
Thanks Again!
This post was very nicely written, and it also contains a lot of useful facts.
I enjoyed your professional manner of writing the post. Thanks, you have made it easy for me to understand.
Great post. Many thanks for sharing such an informative resource. All the 7 points are explained very nicely and have equal importance. Kudos :)
Awesome. just awesome…i haven’t any word to appreciate this post…..
Really i am impressed from this post….the person who create this post he is a great human..
thanks for shared this with us.i found this informative and interesting blog so
i think so its very useful and knowledge.
Its always good to learn tips like you share for blog posting.
As I just started posting comments for blog and facing problem of lots of rejections.
I think your suggestion would be helpful for me. I will let you know if its work for me too.
Thanks and keep post such a informative blogs.
You have a cool web site. It is almost the first time I encounter something like that.
In fact I’m thinking of creating my own one.Google’s results pages are simple,
and that’s why they work. Simple.So thanks for it.
The post is very nicely written and it contains many useful facts.
I am happy to find your distinguished way of writing the post.
Now you make it easy for me to understand and implement. Thanks for sharing with us.
Though I would’ve loved it much more if you added a relevant video or at least pictures
to back up the explanation, I still thought that your write-up quite helpful.
It’s usually hard to make a complicated matter seem very easy.
I enjoy your weblog and will sign up to your feed so I will not miss anything. Fantastic content
What’s really interesting, though, is that not all of those SEO blogs
on the list have no follow implemented on their comments.
I found that when I wanted more information the links provided me with what I was looking for.
I would like to add something that might get into that 101 list, if you think it worthed.
Great ideas and tips. I’ve always had trouble finding a free place to blatantly a
dvertise my products and services so I made one.
Wow, thanks for sharing this information, I have learned so much here on
your site, thought I’d let you know your efforts are appreciated.I really
enjoy the information. I wish to come again on your site in future…
Thanks, however this is not what I need. The system is much more sophisticated than that.
First of all, extension check is not acceptable, and second of all, you can get an exe file rename it as a txt.
However when you upload it it’s still an exe.
I prefer to limit it as well to control how much bandwith is spent. I do so on my website Builders4u pretty well.
thanks

excellent article.
I personally think that colour and design are by far the most important, no matter what the content you only have a split second to catch your potential readers eye before they click away.
very informative article
This blog is really informative and good thanks for share it.
Thank you for providing the perspective. I just read a part of the article,
so I don’t know much what to say. Good luck for the new member!
This is a good list, blog design is certainly a skill which must be perfected over time. One thing that I guess would come under balance is white space. There must be good spacing between elements to remove any feeling of ‘crampedness’.
Thank you for this great info.

This is a good article, i am always wondering if i have the best theme and can often fiddle needlessly changing every couple of months. Content is king but first impressions count for a lot too.
Thanks for the info, ill be sure to use the information to make my blogs look better.
I tend to find balance the hardest thing to achieve in my websites, and seeing as im new to the game, its been a hard learning curve!
By the way, I think you should include usability/ease of use in the list above. Its no use having great content, balance etc if you can navigate around your site.

Nice article. And your blog design back up your points, thats style :)
This is a brilliant article, such a great post, as you can probably tell from the sheer amount of comments, thanks alot for sharing it
A blog post about how to make a blog attractive, great idea. Great content.
The solution to attractiveness problems is always artsy one, never a mathematical. thumbs up!
These steps are really good, i like them and willl follow them in my upcoming blog.
You can also write something about the typography. Now people are able to embed a font in the css of their choice and making sure that the font works with the design is really important too. And also the usage of images on the website is quite important – they can brake or make your design.
Wow awesome these are some sick tips I’ll keep in mind when I redo my blog.
Cheers~
Thank you for sharing the article . It let me know something I didn’t know .I hope everyone here can find his or her dream ,then make it come true !
Very very helpful article content. Thank you for sharing the article . It let me know something I didn’t know .You write well, I have bookmarked, I will wander back
All of these aspects count, a design can look great and still suffer fadvertising on your tech blog because it looks sooo great..
This is definetly helpful information. Thanks alot.
I’m glad I come across this, I’m about to start a blog myself.

Sie wirklich berühren mich, wenn ich Ihren Artikel gelesen auf mein Spiel Projekte.
Terrific site, where did you come up with the information in this blog? I am glad I found it though, I will be checking back soon to see what other articles you have.
These are some great tips. We are currently redesigning our site, and I love where you talked about “balance.” This is something that is not often discussed, but it is very important
I really like the fresh perpective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying.
thanks for your tips
i will use your ideas to enrich my blog
Color is really important. I tend to like blue and greens in web design.
Most of the things you mentioned are intuitively embedded in a design, but it is a great checklist to see what’s wrong if you are unhappy about a design.
Thanks for sharing such a profound and informative article, I’m really savoring it. I actually had a couple of questions in relation to your post though. Do you think it will be feasible for me to make contact with you further to discuss it? Maybe setup a chat on e mail or an instant messaging application? If not, cheers anyhow and I’ll continue to read and comment.

Clarity And Emphasis. The most vital point you’ve mentioned.
I personally “..read as little as possible.” I always look out for the points.
If I find any important point to read, I only read that details. Generally I love charts, pictures, bullets (something that you problogdesign use!) when I read a post.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a Double Mastery event roll out across FarmVille’s many farms, but this weekend ends the drought as Zynga has turned on Double Mastery for crops and trees this weekend.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like animals are a part of this Double Mastery event, but you’ll still be able to earn double the mastery points on each individual tree and crop you harvest during this time period. Furthermore, you can feel free to stuff your Orchards, earning double the mastery points on those trees as well (that is, you can rotate trees out of your Orchards for 40 mastery points per Orchard, instead of 20).
Remember, this boost applies across all of your farms, and with Wither being currently disabled due to some nasty in-game bugs, you can feel free to plant some short growth-time crops that you might otherwise forget about in order to earn a huge mastery boost on them as well. The only players that won’t be affected by this boost are those with permanent Double Mastery statues on their farms, as this boost will not stack. We imagine this Double Mastery event will end sometime Monday evening, so make sure to play as much as you can this weekend to make the most progress possible!
Are you excited that Double Mastery has been turned on in FarmVille? What do you plan on mastering this weekend? Sound off in the comments.

If the overall look is attractive, people are more likely to stay on your blog and read your content. On the other hand, using dull colors and templates will only drive people away and reduce the popularity of your blog.
