colorful websites

By just looking at the first page of a website, you can often say that it looks good and invites you to spend time on it. Without being aware of it, you can be stuck and be encouraged to go on and read the website’s contents, or  be prompted by your instinct to leave even before the website loads completely. How you react depends on how you feel about the website, and this feeling is to high degree triggered by the design and the colors you see. You typically see that successful websites are also the ones that adopt pleasant color combination. Although there are many colors, most websites use only two or three colors to ensure that they look clean and are easy to navigate. Using many colors can be useful for some designs but only if it is done in a way that all colors blend into a single pleasant visual entity. Otherwise, the whole design becomes an eyesore.
