If You Cannot Draw By Hand, Use Textual Images

-
Textual images can be direct to the point or act like a teaser. When headings can be boring, substitute it with a textual image; or use one to emphasize it even stronger. If you do not have a fine-art hand, play with text and colors. It is better to have at least one image rather than none at all.

An image is very useful in sharing your page to social media sites such as Google+, Facebook, Pinterest, and a host of other sites. A shared post with an image attracts more attention.

According to Smashing Magazine , "usability and utility, not the visual design, determine the success or failure of a web site ." If the user can not find what he's looking for on a web site, in seconds, he leaves the site. If there's nothing that he can do on a page, in seconds, he leaves the page. Therefore, the user must be able to see in a short time what he is looking for on a web site. On the landing page, immediately, the user must be able to see what he needs. Therefore further, the web site must be clear of its main purpose. A message should catch the user's interest in order to make him stay longer or read further. The landing page plays a crucial purpose. What makes a user click on a link should be the same message that he must see on the landing page. National Geographic's tag line is " live curious ." Similarly, users of the Net surf curiously. If a user knows that the web site is going to satisfy his curiosity, answer some questi
