You might have heard that there are numerous types of web design layouts. These are static, liquid, adaptive and responsive. Today, we’re describing them in-depth so that you can use them for your site.   

1. Static

Static sites are not responsive. They tend to be in HTML format and cannot adapt to different browser widths. This might be the best option for your site if it is a clean one-page site. However, you might want to try one of the below options if this isn’t the case. 

2. Liquid

Liquid layouts are a better option than static sites, although still not optimal. In liquid sites, images will somewhat adapt, but text usually ends up running off the page. This often happens in Gmail, and users in the middle of reading your content might not appreciate this layout style. 

3. Adaptive

Adaptive sites are a good option if you don’t have enough time and resources for a responsive site. In an adaptive site, your site will place the desktop browsing experience first. As a result, your site will adjust when it is used on a different mobile device. However, there is a final option, and it is the best one yet. 

3. Responsive

We always encourage our readers to produce responsive sites. This is because today’s users almost all use mobile devices before desktop computers. This is opposite of adaptive sites, where mobile devices are prioritized. Your site will always adapt to screen sizes, and users will appreciate the aesthetic qualities.

Are you starting a blog? Or are you looking for tips to make it look better? Here are three types of blog designs that might help you choose the right one for your needs.

1. Parallax

Parallax blogs usually don’t have much content. Therefore, they are simple to navigate. If you are just starting out, this could be the right choice for you. 

2. Multi-page

On the other hand, your blog might already consist of quite a bit of content. Perhaps you even have archives that go way back to old posts. If this is the case, then consider creating a blog with multiple pages. However, be sure that you still organize them so that visitors can navigate easily.

3. Infinite

Does your blog function more like a social media feed? If this is the case, then your posts might be short and often updated. Consider creating a single page with an infinite scroll option.

Are you deciding on a domain name? Or perhaps you already have one, and are wondering whether you should make any adjustments. Either way, here are three words that you should avoid in a domain name for a chance to rank higher on search engines.

1. and

Users are often confused by your site if you include an and in the middle. Visitors are hesitant to type it, and chances are they will end up at an error page or visit a competitor’s site. Try taking out the and in the domain name and see if that boosts your SEO score.

2. the

This one is similar to a and an. Otherwise known as articles, these words can be confusing for your visitors. This makes your web address longer to type, which can also frustrate users. Try keeping your domain simple by limiting it to one or two words. You can also try an abbreviation.

3. Hyphens

While this isn’t a word, we’re putting it at the top of our list. Hyphens can confuse web users, since the key is hard to find. In addition, a hyphen could confuse visitors with another page, especially if the domain names are the same.
