Blog design refers of course to the design of your blog. Do you hire a professional to build a blog from scratch or simply buy a template. Even if you prefer to buy a good template, someone still had to design the template in the first place. In fact, if you decide to build a blog from scratch, chances are the designer will start with a template and modify it to your requirements.
There is nothing new about blog design. Web design has been around for a long time and blog design is simply an extension of that. In fact, blog design is more like a cross between good print design, particularly magazine design and web design.
If you look closely at a lot of blogs you will see some similarity with magazines or newspapers. Like all good print media, the look is important. The ads are carefully placed for maximum results. The content carefully crafted and placed to effect.
What the print media does not need to consider are the intricacies of the web. Blog design needs to allow for SEO policies; they also need to consider page loading speeds; and of course user interactivity like comments and click throughs.
When looking at your blog design, does it resemble a magazine, a newspaper, a web page or is it quite individual in its design? Or is it a blog that has just grown out of hand over time? It’s never to late to update your blog design.
