The principle of the golden section in the design of sites
A key indicator of the quality of web design is how natural and easy it is perceived by users.

Be creative, it will allow you to create better sites.
A person is an elementary concept used in designing a user interface and achieving the required level of usability, which is a description of a typical user entering the target audience of your resource.

And this in turn helps to identify problems and opportunities that need attention. Continue reading

This approach has been actively used over the past few years, and examples of very popular social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram only confirm its effectiveness. Continue reading
