Identifiables: They help your visitors conveniently become attached to that section on your website

Have you noticed when you visit certain sites you tend to look for that particular button or logo or sub section tab?

The thing (button etc) just attracts you because of the way its designed. Brings forth to you a feeling of warmth & stickyness. Makes you love clicking it. Of course may be its the content of it. But yeah the design has a point.

May be the thing is just on the home page of the website or it may be its laid out across the whole site or just across some sub sections. You have identified it because its there conveniently & eye catching. This thing I conveniently name the identifiable.

Why identifiable? Because your visitors can easily identify it & they are loyal in clicking it. Once they are loyal in clicking it you get higher return traffic. Also 1st time visitors will also click because its attractive to do so.


Samples of identifiables:

The Yahoo ajax enabled mail, messenger tabs. So many people have identified with this identifiable:) even some of our clients have asked for it.





Vertical & Horizontal Spaces

Have you ever wanted to fill in those spaces with good graphics but stuck on that brainstorm process. Here's some tips.

First you need to identify whether its a Horizontal or Vertical space you're trying to fill in.

THen once you have identified the type of space you can refer to the list below to search suitable graphics.

For Horizontal Space you may want to search for the keywords:
City landscape, sky scraper, architecture

For Vertical Space you may want to search for the keywords:
Sky scraper, architecture

Can anyone else give some examples to fill in:
a) Horizontal spaces

b) Vertical spaces
