Introduction

Hello, this quick presentation will cover design ideas for the Kijiji website. The design components are: concept, colour and tone.

Visual examples are added for inspiration and aid in the final design.

ConceptEffective concepts communicate the company brand and objective quickly to its users.

An organized presentation of products and services is important to create the impression of a professional and well thought design.

An engaging banner image defines this design and delivers a message to first time or frequent visitors. The navigation and search bar are easy to see.

Could you imagine what a large banner look like in your website?

A clean design of product placement without sacrificing brand, details and links. A perfect way to keep viewers interested.

Perhaps a larger thumbnail is better for product preview?

This example has a large search bar, a useful alternative to using a category section for users to search for a specific information in the website.

Do you like a search bar or a menu instead?

Colour style must be unique in a website. An original color theme is important in site design, as well as the use of colour palettes.

Colours can be used to highlight parts of the webpage, or as a main theme.

Colour

A dark background color is ranked the most favourite from others. Going dark allow easy product browsing and images look appealing to users.

Or different shades of grey perhaps?

A lighter and full width design create a crisp and professional impression with simplicity in mind.

This example shows a clean way of using two colours in the main page. A combo like this looks appealing and simple.

Do you like a single colour instead?

ToneThe tone sets the mood of the website for your visitors. For a website such as Kijiji, the tone should feel professional, fast and simple allowing easy product browsing and product advertisement.

This example is calm and straightforward. The idea is to show the main selection by using a combo of light and dark colours.

This feels like product selection comes first, what do you think?

This gallery style website creates an interesting mood, letting users to browse for more.

Pictures speak louder than words. Do you prefer a simple gallery style product selection?

To summarize here is what I have shown you so far. Concept Bold, engaging and enhanced user experience.
