What is Visual Hierachy and why it matters in Web Design

Good web design uses visual hierarchy to tell the reader what is most important and in which order to view it in. This involves using design principles like contrast, scale, balance and more.

Visual hierarchy tends to be one of the common design mistakes that I see on websites.  Good visual hierarchy is always going to be more effective for sales because the user is led around the page in the order that the seller dictates.

Visual hierarchy adds to the ease of using a website (usability). The result is that more customers find what they are looking for so they stay on the website longer. This not only increases sales but translates to more credit with the search engines to improve search rankings.

A great website enables you to reach more customers. Are you educating viewers about your services? I can design an easy to use website that will guide potential clients to the heart of your message so you’ll keep your schedule full.

Clucking about Fresh Eggs

Working with Fresh Eggs was transformative. Unlike past experiences where designers were hands-off, this felt like a true partnership. I was engaged every step of the way, and that collaboration helped me clarify my business and connect more meaningfully with my audience. The process was smooth, supportive—and unexpectedly inspiring.

After a bad experience with a previous designer, working with Holly was a breath of fresh air. Her professionalism and creativity exceeded my expectations. She captured the essence of who we are and translated a complex topic into a clear, compelling story through thoughtful design and content. I couldn’t be happier with the result—and highly recommend her.
