It also offers visitors a more immersive visual experience than is possible with standard scrolling. User experience such as Usefulness, Simple Functionality, easily located content, trustworthiness, easy accessibility, and desirability are all great examples. Trustworthiness is one of the most important factors as all content on your site must be checked for accuracy. It is very important to establish your website as a credible source of information if you wish to encourage repeat viewers.
Easy accessibility is one of the most important factors you should consider when making a website, for people who are visually impaired or deaf your website should be designed to be easy for both able-bodied people and those with disabilities to access. And finally desirability, everybody wants their website to look incredibly desirable, implementing this is a whole new thing.
Taken as a whole, the layout and graphic design elements of your website should combine to present a desirable visual interface to first-time visitors and regular visitors alike. The more visually appealing it is, the more likely people will want to visit it again and again.
