WIX Website Design With Modern Fonts

This video shows you some of the more modern font and typography design factors to consider when building your Wix website. Enjoy!

hey guys it’s kyle again got another Wix website here that I designed and I just wanted to go over some of the newer standards for typography and font and stylized text and those sort of things so I just I see it being a really big issue especially with a lot of the WordPress websites that are out there just because they’re built with templates that you know we’re built three four years ago and some of the guys that have been working with
wordpress templates for you know six seven years they just really haven’t updated their style or anything it’s one of the big downfalls with WordPress websites they lose a lot of control when they don’t really design anything maybe more more or less just put a stencil put a stencil on something and spray paint it and that’s one advantage us with Wix designers have over those guys but I just wanted to talk you know about to stylize text and the
typography and things like that and just kind of show you guys what I did here with the clients website so essentially I stick with the a veneers and the proxy manova and future a future life those are really good fonts I find that those you know they offer a really clean modern look and they’re very legible as well but they really just create a nice a nice appeal a very inviting and professional appearance for the user so this logo here this is
you this is designed using future and a proxy Munoz Nova as well as future of light so I did this in PicMonkey you know it’s a really great tool if you’re not a Photoshop editor can accomplish a lot with it and you know it worked out pretty well and the way the way that I chose the image here was really you know based on having a nice a nice logo into the top of my screen over here that was scrollable and still visible without interfering with
the image too much which may vary depending on the device or the browser the reason but for the most part it works pretty well and also this big space that we have right here in the photo to the right it works out very well and I can also very important i can make sure that client or the potential clients the users understand that is the local business and that’s very important for local services up here for the font i believe this is a future
life and it’s just very clean like we talked about before and then if you scroll down here you see I used a kind of a variation of fonts here and the reason that I did this is because this is a med spa website and I wanted to kind of make it look like a magazine as much as possible especially for this new product that they have which is for laser fat removal and I really wanted to highlight that and make it look very nice so I gave it its own
little section here with a strip and if I scroll down a lot of these effects this is actually a template available on wigs they did a nice job with it so I went in there and just made a few adjustments and added in some of my own content but for the most part they designed it pretty well so once again you know I scroll down the text is very legible here this could be railway here i’m not i’m not exactly sure but once again it’s just a nice
legible font very clean and it just kind of continues you know the the fonts just very legible here i haven’t updated any of this stuff like I said I’m strolling the build process but it’s just a nice this is a nice nice design they have here the thing that I really like about this design is the fact that the the long scroll page is essentially now you have you know your your navigation bar up here essentially just has links to anchor points on
the page and that’s that’s really important I think is it keeps your users on the home page which it reduces your bounce rates and Google sees that is ok you have a pretty relevant and important page it’s it’s got a lot of good information so that’s that’s good for SEO and in Adwords and things like that and then I’m going to take you over here to the laser fat removal page so essentially all the services pages their external of the navigation
bar and they’re only accessible from the home page so if somebody would like to you know see another page or see out of one of their services which will be a small number of people you can navigate back to the home page and find it there it’s very structured and very organized and once again I went kind of with the magazine style of you know how I use my my fonts in my typography and I added some videos just to kind of add a social proof for
anybody who doesn’t know what social proofing is I I definitely suggest doing a little research it’s really important for websites especially whenever you’re looking at building websites it converts you know any a lot of people can build a nice to a nice website and some nice designs but I really considering some of the psychology of your users is it’s pretty paramount and once again we have nice clean font here this is this is pretty bold font I
usually steer clear from it but this is you know more or less a landing page linked to an AdWords accountant I really kind of wanted to you know have some of the important information jump out at them and be very legible or in bold so and once again you know I like to really highlight that this is a local company and so I always include the address in the opening hours and some of the local information that consumers are looking for because a lot
of consumers might think that this website is a national website or you know a bigger I’m part of a national chain that they may have happened upon it you know by accident so I just want to make sure that they understand it so it’s a local service and this is a business where they can go and get served locally well guys anyways that’s a kind of my rundown I just kind of wanted to go over this website I think it’s uh you know the template they
made it very nice and the use of typography on here is really it’s pretty standard for the new norm you know and i think i think a lot of people should not pay attention allottees in your typography and the fonts I think your websites will really benefit from it so I hope you guys enjoyed it I look forward to more videos I’m gonna make them as different things come up look for to hearing from you guys
