Marketers say that don't overwhelm them with verbosity. I like simplicity, too.  Image: just an AI image to get your attention. Also, it's non-fiction.

This is the first decisive factor that will determine whether the user will spend more time on your site or leave immediately. If your organization or business has an official color scheme then incorporate that in the site design. Analyze how famous brands have done this for inspiration. Keep the target audience in your mind. Note how age, gender, ethnicity, nationality, and religion determine color choice.  ๐Ÿ‘‰ Use Approp...
